Hosted by Dr. Amy Athey, Still Evolving explores the truth behind lasting high performance and resilience. Rather than relying on perfection or superhuman ability, the podcast highlights how real strength emerges through simple, intentional habits, grounded in self-compassion, adaptability, and the ability to grow through life’s inevitable setbacks. Each episode features stories and insights from leaders in sport, the military, and business. Through their journeys, listeners see the shared humanity behind exceptional achievement and the foundational practices that help them keep “Still Evolving” both at the height of success and in moments of challenge.
What if the thing you most want to avoid is exactly what you need to face to change your life?
Dylan Bost, author, coach, speaker, and creator of the Sit With It practice, joins Dr. Amy Athey to explore how reflection helps us recognize our patterns, reconnect with ourselves, and make meaningful changes. Drawing from his own experiences with alcoholism, bankruptcy, and personal rebuilding, Dylan shares how slowing down helped him understand what he had been avoiding and begin creating a different reality.
Dylan explains why lasting change rarely happens in one dramatic breakthrough. For him, it began with quiet moments, honest reflection, and small decisions that gradually reshaped his daily life and his relationships with his wife and children. He also shares practical ways to bring more presence into everyday routines, from making coffee to opening a door.
Amy and Dylan discuss why constant motion can leave high performers disconnected from themselves and the people they care about, how discomfort holds valuable information, and why the pause is often where meaningful action begins.
A conversation about reflection, personal growth, connection, and learning to sit with what is happening long enough to choose what comes next.

Stop Performing Confidence with Ann Keil Dux
What if becoming a better communicator has less to do with perfecting your delivery and more to do with reconnecting with yourself?
Ann Keil Dux, a former television journalist turned communication coach and consultant, joins Dr. Amy Athey to explore the connection between self-awareness, self-expression, and authentic communication.

Ann and Amy discuss the challenges of showing up on camera, from virtual interviews to short-form video, and why the pressure to appear polished can make us less effective. Ann shares practical strategies for managing nerves, including box breathing, and explains how identifying what you want your audience to feel can transform the way you communicate.

Bet on What You Can Control with Bill Stedman
What if betting on yourself had less to do with confidence and more to do with preparation?
Bill Stedman, president of Lockton Philadelphia, joins Dr. Amy Athey for a conversation about trusting yourself, staying curious, and embracing opportunities before you know exactly where they will lead. Drawing from a career that spans multiple industries, international experiences, and significant professional pivots, Bill shares how curiosity and a willingness to learn have shaped his approach to leadership and life.
Bill explains why he believes in betting on what you can control: your preparation, your effort, and your willingness to keep growing. From learning practical skills on his family's farm to driving a bus through the Lincoln Tunnel at 21, his experiences reveal how stepping into unfamiliar situations builds the ability to handle whatever comes next.
The conversation also explores the leadership value of leaving room for the unexpected. Bill shares why he protects space for unscheduled conversations with colleagues, how leaders create an environment where people feel comfortable asking for help, and why some of the most important preparation happens outside the meetings and milestones on your calendar.
Bill closes with the morning routine that helps him stay grounded, energized, and ready for the day ahead.
A conversation about courageous action, curiosity, leadership, lifelong learning, and preparing yourself for the moments that matter.
