You Don’t Have To Choose One Dream — Here’s Proof: Lesley Paterson

You Don’t Have To Choose One Dream — Here’s Proof: Lesley Paterson

She's a champion in both Hollywood and athletics. Mercedes and Anastasia sit with Lesley Paterson, the triathlon world champion who also co-wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay for All Quiet on the Western Front. Lesley unpacks the uncommon discipline that lets her juggle athletic training with script writing, reveals how she turns raw emotion into fuel instead of roadblocks, and shares the tiny daily rituals that keep her body bulletproof and her creativity on tap. She takes us back to her rugby-obsessed Scottish teens, through chronic-illness detours and career-defining failures, all the way to the moment she realized you never have to choose between athlete and artist. Listen in for empowerment in pursuing your passions, tangible ways to exit the victim mentality, and tips for being more patient.
