On this episode of the podcast, former U.S. champion gymnast, producer, two-time author, and XX-XY Athletics Founder and CEO Jennifer Sey joins the show for a candid and powerful conversation about courage, conviction, and protecting the future of women’s sports.

Sey reflects on what matters most in her life, sharing that her greatest pride is her children, even as her brand has grown into a national force defending fairness in female athletics. She unpacks the viral success of XX-XY Athletics’ “Real Girls Rock” ad, which was shared by author J.K. Rowling and ultimately surpassed 40 million views. During this year’s Super Bowl, Sey simply reshared the same ad and it generated more than 3 million views in just 12 hours. Without spending millions on a commercial slot during this year’s big game, the online response to the same ad two years in a row only proves that Americans are hungry for clarity, courage, and common sense when it comes to women’s sports.

The former elite gymnast also weighs in on the controversial trend of athletes switching national allegiances for financial incentives, citing the case of freestyle skier Eileen Gu, and explains why loyalty and integrity still matter on the world stage.

While cultural support for women’s sports continues to grow, Sey acknowledges that many athletes remain hesitant to speak publicly. Even so, she believes the tide is turning. She closes the conversation with a look ahead at XX-XY Athletics’ upcoming product launches, including new running, golf, and tennis gear, as the company expands its mission-driven brand.
