Olympian and two-time National Champion Aubree Munro Watson returns to the podcast to talk about her new book, Born Ready: Making the Most of the Moments That Mark Our Lives. Aubree shares the “Born Ready moments” that shaped her journey — from being the quiet one and hearing “no” from coaches she respected, to heartbreak, tested faith, national championships and ultimately the Olympic stage. This conversation is a powerful reminder that sometimes the moments that feel like setbacks are actually preparing us for what’s ahead.
