From Doubt to Dominance - Feat. Helen Maroulis

Olympic gold medalist, Helen Maroulis, opens up about the battles she fought long before standing atop the podium. From wrestling boys as a kid and facing discrimination in the sport to proving doubters wrong on the world stage, Helen shares the raw and unfiltered truth behind her journey.
She talks about the pushback from family and friends, advice for young wrestlers struggling early, and how she learned to believe she could be the best in the world. Helen also dives into wild moments from her youth, including pinning boys who underestimated her and running one into a wall after getting punched mid-match.
This episode is about resilience, breaking barriers, and what it really takes to rewrite the rules in a male-dominated sport.
