The Already Worthy Podcast

By Bethany

Welcome to The Already Worthy Podcast where we share in the journey of living your most present-fulfilled-beautiful life while navigating what it means to be truly anchored in your worth - regardless of performance, career, achievements, etc. As a former competitive athlete, I (Bethany Crouch) struggled immensely when it came to tying to my worth to my performance as an athlete, my career as a working professional, and as a mom and wife. I am here to help you remember your worth is ALREADY. Meaning you are worthy just by being here and just by being alive.

Are You Realigning? Clarity in Life’s Challenging Phases

Are You Realigning? Clarity in Life’s Challenging Phases

Already Worthy listeners it’s been a minuteeee! The Fall of this year was a season of intense realignment for myself. And is still providing me with needed clarity…! In this podcast I mention a book entitled, “A Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson. It saved my mindset. It helped me manage my anxiety. Wild, I know! But it helped me tremendously. So if anyone needs a perspective on the true magic of life, God, Source, Universe - I have found it to be so serving. -B

15: Leaving Sport Not on Your Terms & Finding New Passions with my BFF, Bailey Estep

15: Leaving Sport Not on Your Terms & Finding New Passions with my BFF, Bailey Estep

This episode is with one of my besties, Bailey Estep.  Bailey is currently an Academic Advisor at Texas State and has been one of my BFFs since age 10! Bailey and I were club teammates and even college teammates for a bit however, she endured a journey that involved a career ending  injury.  Through this conversation we talk about how she navigated leaving gymnastics not on her terms and how that type of transition is different than knowing or deciding your athletics retirement.   

We chat on finding passions after sport, rediscovering fitness, and trying NEW things (even if you are not good at them)!  She is well-spoken and I am very grateful that she has been by my side through my life.   This is a conversation that we have had SO MANY TIMES throughout our friendship after sport.  And this time we are in person at her house, sitting on the floor, putting on makeup and curling our hair for a Maren Morris concert! Needless to say, you're getting a peak into the real deal!
