What Matters With Allyson Felix: Failure, Resilience & The Power Of Your Voice

Olympic Champion Allyson Felix is the most decorated track-and-field athlete in history, with twenty World Championship medals and eleven Olympic medals. Yet she says failure and fear have shaped her more than victory. Her story is one of resilience, perseverance, and courage on and off the track.

In this episode of What Matters with Liz, Allyson shares her journey from Olympic Sprinter to mother to maternal health advocate, why her greatest goal hasn’t been accomplished yet, and how you can use your voice, even if it shakes.

“On the other side of fear, there’s freedom,” says Allyson.

Allyson opens up about:

How to find your voice and use it with confidence
The importance of embracing adversity and failure to unlock growth
How to quiet your inner critic
Finding courage in confrontation
Her life-threatening childbirth experience
Why she publicly challenged her sponsor, Nike
What urgently needs to change in maternal health
The death of her teammate Olympic Sprinter Torie Bowie from childbirth complications
Her remarkable comeback to elite competition and breaking Usain Bolt’s World Championship medal record
The daily practices that bring her peace
The joy and challenges of motherhood
The affirmations she shares with her daughter
Her new documentary film She Runs The World
How she’s mentoring and managing the next generation of athletes
Why women need to lift up other women
How the people you surround yourself with can change your life

Raw, inspiring, and deeply human, this conversation reveals what true strength is and why Allyson Felix believes the most important victories have nothing to do with crossing the finish line first. Her story will leave you feeling bolder, braver, and ready to use your voice.
