Hi friend! It’s Giselle. I’m jumping on here real quick to remind you that I’m taking a break after over three plus years of weekly episodes to rest, reset, and recalibrate. In case you need a little woman in sports career journey wisdom while I’m away, I’ve pulled this episode from the archives.

This conversation with Dr. Sarah Lesko aired in April 2022 and it is one of the most downloaded episodes of all time. So you’re going to love it. I know I did.

Since the last episode. Dr. Lesko was named Executive Director of the non-profit Bras for Girls, which is an amazing organization, check it out, and she was also named a Director of the USA Track and Field Foundation Board.
Enjoy!

Episode 88:
On today’s episode, I’m talking to Oiselle’s Leader of Corporate Development and Family Medicine Physician, Dr. Sarah Lesko, about honoring your values while changing careers.

Sarah is trained and practiced as a family medicine physician before making the leap to a career outside of medicine. Before leaving medicine, Sarah got back into running after watching the ‘08 Olympic trials. Two years later she met the founder and CEO of Oiselle, a running apparel company, by and for female athletes. Eventually leaving medicine, Sarah’s work with Oiselle expanded and she found a better way for her to serve. Through her work with Oiselle, Sarah is able to utilize her training in medicine and public health to support women and girls in sport at every level of competition.

We talk about:
●The twists and turns of her career in sports, medicine, and public health before she found a job where she could bring it all together.
●The multiple identities she created throughout her career and the resilience they’ve provided.
●How defining your values and vision for your career can help you find the right fit.
