Today’s guest is Channing Cash, a Team USA athlete on the way to the Paralympics, who has built a life rooted in independence, exploration, and elite performance.
But this episode isn’t really about sport. It’s about rewriting expectations, challenging the quiet limits society places on people, and choosing to define yourself on your own terms. It’s a conversation about how the way you show up can reinforce boundaries—or expand what’s possible.
