That Time I Chatted with Greg Stewart
On this episode of Teeter Talks, I have the honor of speaking with the remarkable Greg Stewart, a two-time gold medalist in shot put at the 2020 and 2024 Paralympic Games. Greg’s story goes far beyond his athletic achievements—his journey is a profound testament to resilience, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit. In this heartfelt conversation, Greg opens up about the challenges he's faced and the invaluable lessons he's learned along the way. His insights on self-awareness, overcoming adversity, and embracing the leader within are both inspiring and empowering. Greg's story reminds us that greatness is not defined by the obstacles we face, but by our ability to rise above them and push forward with determination and heart.
Join us as we dive into these topics:
- The emotions that come with winning a gold medal in the Olympics, dealing with imposter syndrome, and reflecting on greatness while being disabled.
- Battling the realization of disability at 25, seeking value and belonging, and the struggle of feeling unfulfilled even with help. The importance of investing in mental health.
- Acknowledging and celebrating differences, challenging societal norms, encouraging open-mindedness, and the idea that it's okay to not try to be the same.
- Success and vulnerability, how they are interconnected, and the importance of having tough conversations in personal growth.
- Not initially identifying as a leader but stepping into that role, practicing mindfulness, and understanding leadership through self-awareness and action.
