In today’s episode of Evolve Ventures Tech, we go beneath the surface of sport, ambition, and identity to look at what gets buried when performance becomes survival. What looks strong from the outside can leave a long trail underneath it fear, silence, distorted self-worth, and stories that never got named for what they were. We move through the deeper layers of women in sports, mental health, gender conditioning, resilience, and the quiet damage that follows people long after the competition ends.

This episode stays with the harder truth that some systems build grit while also leaving scars, and both deserve to be seen clearly. Take this one seriously before somebody calls the wound discipline and hands it a medal.
