Episode 22: Show Notes.
Today’s guest is the very inspiring Kristin Mayer. As an athlete, she has completed marathons, ultra-marathons, and triathlons while also raising her son, designing beautiful clothes, and running a successful business. Today she shares her story about how her divorce led her to establish her own clothing line Betty Designs, which doesn’t just provide functional and stylish sports attire to female athletes, it has also inspired and created a community of women known as the Betty Squad. She explains how the butterfly and the skull logo came about, how the Betty Squad of brand ambassadors was established, and how she chose the women she included in it. She discusses how she coped with the pandemic, in terms of her physical training and her creativity, and how she feels about her son going off to college. Get some insight into some of Betty Design’s upcoming kits, and what’s next for the business as well as Kristin’s athletic career. To hear what Kristin learnt through her own journey, as well as some encouragement for those of us who feel that we should have it all together but don’t, tune in today!
