Collecting Scars

Performing and competitions are like my bread and butter. And not because I don't get nervous, it's because I've learned to work with my nerves instead of against them. In this episode, I take you through the journey of the mental and physical strategies for becoming a better competitor and athlete. I hope you enjoy!

Here's the episode I meant to put out the week before, but didn't with everything going on with the fires, which is much better now!

These are some of the most prevalent lessons I've learned throughout my life, a lot of them being at the forefront in the past 5 or so years. The list is by no means exhaustive, and I have many more I could add. As always, take what resonates with you and leave the rest!

I forgot to say #15, which is: What others say about you is a reflection of them, not...

This one is real and raw. This past week has been difficult to say at the least. But seeing LA come together has been one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed. 

In this episode I talk about the fires and what that's been like as a citizen of LA as well as my birthday taking place during all of this. I even read a poem I wrote, which is so new to me.

Thanks so much and if you love this podcast, please leave a rating or review. It helps a ton!

She's back for round 2! Katie is one of my favorite people as she's so real, genuine, and authentic. I love her vulnerability in this episode. We get into topics like anxiety and how that shows up in our lives, things we learned from being competitive athletes, and how our lives have changed over the years. This episode is sort of like a conversation that Katie and I would have if we were having lunch together or something. I hope you enjoy!

And if you love this episode, please share it and tag us on instagram!

I hope everyone had an amazing 2024. This podcast episode goes into some of the things I've learned in 2024 that I will take with me for the rest of my life. Thanks as always for listening!

Loved this conversation with my dear friend Lynn Jung! It's been amazing getting to evolve with all of my friends over the last ten years, especially the parkour girls. I absolutely adore Lynn and I'm sure you will too!

Hey everyone! I got randomly inspired to create this episode and spoke as I was driving, my best thoughts are usually in the car anyway. I didn't completely get into every detail of this as this could've been a lot longer but the message is there.

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in! Below is a list of the products discussed in the episode.

For Protea, I absolutely love their vegan protein powder, it's the cleanest and most delicious one I've ever had. I promise you will love it too. The GI Assist is great for digestion, Greens for skin, hair, nails, and digestion. I also take their Vitality, which is a great pre-workout that won't make you feel like you're going to throw up lol, and Baseline (hormone support, they also have a men's version too.) Opti-thyroid has been awesome for my hypothyroidism...

Loved this episode! Sorry about the audio, as I explained, we made this work without being able to find a private space to have this conversation.

Many thanks to Ed!

Hey everyone! Sorry this podcast is late, but just glad to have it out now. This is not my favorite in terms of how I talk, lol, but I'm not over-thinking it and putting it out there anyway. Thanks for the support! Please leave a rating or review, it means a ton to me and helps get the podcast more traction.

As far as some of my favorite movies... I still can't think of my favorites and it's going to bother me, but I've been really into A24 movies lately, mostly "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and "...

This episode is very open and vulnerable but I wanted to share the realness of living with the human mind and how to navigate it. Thanks for pushing play!

The next episode will be a solo Q&A so email your questions to sydney@tempestfreerunning.com. I'm happy to answer anything deep that isn't inappropriate lol.

Please leave a rating and review if you get the chance, it really helps me out!

Thanks for pushing play! This hike I did in China was one of the hardest physical things I've ever done. Imagine 12 hours of stair master haha. Brutal! But truly my favorite thing I've done in a while. I hope you like the episode, please leave me a review or a rating if you feel so inclined.

Also my next episode I'll be doing a Q&A so please DM me on instagram @sydneyolson1 with your questions!

Thanks so much!

Sat down with Cory Demeyers for a lovely chat about life. He's a legend in parkour, stunts, martial arts, and up and coming in directing.

As a warning, we are very explicit in this episode, so if you're not into that, maybe skip this one lol.

This is a story of something that recently happened that allowed me to make a decision I felt best aligned with who I prefer to be, rather than making it out of fear.

Hope it's helpful!

So happy to interview Katie while she's in Los Angeles!

We went in without any sort of planned conversation and just saw where it took us.

The first 20 minutes are us catching up and then we get into Katie's sport background where we unpack a lot of deeper emotions. This starts around 20:40

I hope you enjoy! Please leave a review or a rating if you feel inclined! Thanks so much.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's a little echoey in the beginning, it does get better later on. Something was going on with my mics and I couldn't synch them properly. 

I sat down with my amazing friend Kat to discuss all things health and wellness as well as body image and how we've been able to navigate through those harder feelings.

Hey I'm back! I just wanted to share my thoughts on the most recent competition I did and how it feels to be on the other side of that. Thanks for listening!!

Kimberly is an incredible human! Not only is she a badass stunt woman who's so kind and passionate, but she's also a sexual abuse survivor and has written a beautiful book sharing her story. SO grateful she took the time to speak with me. You can get her book NOW anywhere books are being sold, but amazon is easiest as she said.

Sat down with Gracie to talk about some real life problems and solutions. We talk about her career as a gymnast and how she learned to let go of expectations to better serve her career, how to believe in yourself, techniques of manifestation that she uses to actualize her dreams, and what it's like to achieve a perfect 10 in gymnastics.

Jeremy Marinas, a legend in tricking, stunts, fight choreography and now an up and coming director sat down with me for a beautiful conversation. We talked about tricking, stunts, responsibility of creating the action scenes in John Wick, mistakes, and so much more! Jeremy has tons of experience and knowledge making this podcast episode one of the most insightful, especially for people that want to learn more about stunts or the film industry.

Loved this interview with Nate! We went into understanding the mind when it's projecting fear and how to tell the difference between fear and actual danger. Nate shares his vulnerable story about how he almost completely gave up on his dreams while falling into depression. He talks about how he was able to overcome that and make his dreams his current reality. 

I hope you guys love this interview. If you do, please share it and leave a review or rating. Thanks so much!

This episode turned out to be my favorite so far. Lynhthy offers so much insight and is really vulnerable with us, which is so inspiring. All of our conversations together go like this and so it made sense to capture it for everyone else that needs to hear it. We dive very deep into our emotions and how to handle the negative ones. We talk about how perception is everything. I hope you get something of value from this one!

This is just a little life update episode. I plan to do this type of episode at the beginning of each month so I can summarize what I've experienced through the previous month and tell you about what I'm learning and experiencing.

Luci is an OG parkour athlete and stunt performer. She's someone I've looked up to for over a decade now. She's Melissa McCarthy's stunt double and has the record for the most Red Bull Art of Motion wins! We get into several topics with Luci including her start in sports and stunts, her eating disorder, and learning to accept yourself. I absolutely love this woman. Please follow her on instagram @luciromberg

I get a lot of people telling me that they'd love to do what I do. So I get into my entire journey with parkour, talking about how I started as a teenager that kept hurting her ankles to a very strong and dominant athlete. 

Please leave me a review! And subscribe? Is that the word that we use for this? I'm very new here if it wasn't obvious.
