Purposeful Performance: Navigating Life, Sports, and Growth

performance purpose relationships

In this special episode of Love & Life Elevated, we’re joined by someone very close to our hearts — our daughter, Dakota Sunshine Skye Freddie Rouse. Dakota is currently earning dual master's degrees in Sports Performance Psychology and Clinical Psychology at Adler University, and she’s bringing fresh, powerful insights into how we think about mental health, athletic performance, trauma recovery, and trust. Together, we dive into what it means to perform with purpose, heal from within, and live with resilience. Whether you're an athlete, a high performer, or simply someone who wants to grow stronger mentally and emotionally, we think you'll find a lot of inspiration here. We’re so excited to share this beautiful, real conversation with you. #growthmindset #performance #mentalhealth #highperformance #sportsperformance #PerformancePsychology #trauma #healing #purpose #loveandlife To learn more about Dakota Rouse: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dakota-rouse-7b2032176/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dakkattackk
