Behind every great team is a group of people who don’t always get the credit they deserve.

In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with Cameron “Camager” Mathis and Peyton Harbert, two college gymnastics managers whose roles go far beyond what happens on the competition floor. From early mornings and behind-the-scenes pressure to building trust with elite athletes, they share what it really means to serve a team without the recognition that often comes with it.

Cam opens up about going from a fan in the stands to a viral presence on the sidelines, and how quickly success can challenge your identity if you’re not grounded in who you are. Peyton shares her powerful story of overcoming Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, and the moment that completely transformed her faith and perspective on life.

Together, they talk about what it looks like to lead through service, stay rooted when no one is celebrating you, and trust that your role still matters.

This episode is a reminder that impact isn’t always acknowledged, and purpose isn’t always visible, but both can change everything.

Listen if you’re:

• Trying to understand your role when it doesn’t come with recognition
• Navigating pressure, identity, or comparison in a high-performance environment
• Learning how to stay grounded in your faith when life feels overwhelming
• Looking for perspective on how to serve others without losing yourself

💡 About Beam Boldly

Hosted by NCAA Division I gymnast Brooke Gleichowski, Beam Boldly empowers young women and athletes to grow in faith, build resilience, and live with confidence. Through real conversations about mental health, mindset, performance, and purpose, Brooke and her guests inspire listeners to shine their light boldly - on the mat and beyond.

In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with former 3x USA National Team member and current Clemson gymnast Lilly Lippeatt to talk about the perspective that reshaped everything for her: worship the giver, not the gift.

Lilly shares her story from elite gymnastics and an early commitment to Louisiana State University to a last-minute, faith-led decision that brought her to Clemson’s inaugural team.

What stands out most is the moment her sport was taken away through injury, forcing her to face how much of her identity had been built on performance and achievement.

She shares how that season of uncertainty became the turning point where her faith became personal. Instead of gymnastics being the thing that defined her, it became something she could hold with open hands. That shift changed the way she competes, the way she handles pressure, and the way she sees both success and setbacks.

The conversation also touches on what it looks like to carry peace into high-pressure moments and how she stays grounded in her identity. Lilly speaks about the role Clemson’s FCA community has played in her growth as both an athlete and a leader.

Listen if you’re:

• Feeling the pressure to perform and carry it into every meet
• Starting to question what your identity is really built on
• Navigating your faith while competing at a high level
• Learning how to hold your sport with open hands

About Beam Boldly:

Hosted by NCAA Division I gymnast Brooke Gleichowski, Beam Boldly empowers young women and athletes to grow in faith, build resilience, and live with confidence. Through real conversations about mental health, mindset, performance, and purpose, Brooke and her guests inspire listeners to shine their light boldly - on the mat and beyond.

In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with Jackie Mattison - the first Black gymnast and cheerleader at the University of Georgia.

Jackie’s journey into gymnastics is anything but typical. She didn’t grow up in the sport or train from a young age. Instead, she enrolled in a college tumbling class and was invited to join the team, stepping into a completely new path that would ultimately make history.

Jackie shares what it was like competing in a different era of gymnastics, navigating environments where she often stood alone, and pushing forward through moments that tested her confidence and resilience. Her story offers a powerful perspective on perseverance and identity, and shows what it means to keep showing up even when the odds feel stacked against you.

The conversation also dives into her faith journey and how it developed over time. It tells how it sustained her through life’s most difficult seasons and how learning to trust God shaped the way she approached both sport and life.

This episode is a meaningful reminder that your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s to be purposeful and impactful - it will lead exactly where you’re meant to go.

Listen If You’re:

• An athlete who feels like your path looks different than everyone else’s
• Navigating your identity in your sport or outside of it
• Learning how to trust God when things don’t go your way
• Struggling with confidence or feeling overlooked
• Trying to bounce back after rejection or a setback

💡 About Beam Boldly Hosted by NCAA Division I gymnast Brooke Gleichowski, Beam Boldly empowers young women and athletes to grow in faith, build resilience, and live with confidence. Through real conversations about mental health, mindset, performance, and purpose, Brooke and her guests inspire listeners to shine their light boldly - on the mat and beyond.

In this conversation, Brooke sits down with Estelle Haugen, a former University of Georgia volleyball player now continuing her athletic career at Grand Canyon University through beach volleyball.

What started as a conversation about balancing faith and athletics quickly became something much deeper. A look into what it actually means to invite God into the middle of a schedule that feels nonstop, overwhelming, and at times, all-consuming.

Estelle shares her journey from growing up in a strong Christian home to experiencing a pivotal shift in college, where she was forced to confront a question many athletes quietly wrestle with…what happens when your identity is rooted in your sport?

Through that process, she began to rebuild her foundation, learning how to separate performance from identity and intentionally place her worth in something that doesn’t change.

This episode dives into what it looks like to stay grounded in your faith when your days are full, your mind is busy, and your priorities feel pulled in every direction. From navigating the transfer portal while in season to redefining what “rest” actually means, Estelle offers a perspective that is both practical and deeply personal.

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need hours of quiet time or a perfect routine to grow in your relationship with God - you just have to be willing to invite Him into what you’re already doing.

Listen if you’re:

• Navigating a busy season and struggling to stay consistent in your faith
• Feeling overwhelmed as a student athlete or balancing multiple responsibilities
• Struggling with identity tied to performance, success, or comparison
• Looking for practical ways to grow your relationship with God in everyday moments
• Trying to understand what true rest actually looks like beyond distractions

Through real conversations about mental health, mindset, performance, and purpose, Brooke and her guests inspire listeners to shine their light boldly - on the mat and beyond.

In this conversation, Brooke sits down with Kayla DiCello, a 2021 World bronze medalist, five-time All-American, and University of Florida gymnast.

From the outside, Kayla’s career has been defined by elite success. World medals, perfect 10s, and competing at the highest level of the sport. But this episode isn’t about the highlights.

It’s about what happened when everything she had worked for was taken away in a single moment.

At the Olympic Trials, Kayla tore her Achilles mid-vault, ending her Olympic dream instantly. What followed was a season of physical recovery, but more importantly, a deeper internal battle with identity, pressure, and learning how to move forward when life doesn’t go as planned.

Kayla shares what it looked like to walk through that disappointment, how her faith shifted from something she grew up around into something personal, and the role that community played in helping her rebuild from the inside out.

Through injury, setbacks, and uncertainty, she began to see something she hadn’t fully understood before… that God wasn’t absent in the hardest moments, He was working through them.

This episode is a reminder that even when your plans fall apart, your story isn’t over. Sometimes, the breaking point is actually where something stronger begins.

Listen if you’re:

• Walking through a setback, injury, or disappointment you didn’t see coming
• Struggling with identity tied to performance, success, or achievement
• Trying to understand how God is working in a season that doesn’t make sense
• Feeling pressure to get back to who you used to be instead of embracing what’s next
• Looking for hope in the middle of a situation that feels like everything fell apart

Through real conversations about mental health, mindset, performance, and purpose, Brooke and her guests inspire listeners to shine their light boldly - on the mat and beyond.

In this conversation, Brooke sits down with Caroline Bauer and Allison Wilson, former University of Florida track and field athletes and co-hosts of the Beyond The Struggle podcast.

What began as a shared transition after athletics grew into a deeper friendship rooted in faith, obedience, and navigating life beyond sport. As they stepped away from competing, both faced a common question: who am I without my sport?

That question led to Beyond The Struggle, where they share the unseen side of athletics - not just wins, but injuries, identity struggles, setbacks, and growth.

In this episode, they reflect on their journeys, how God used unexpected moments to redirect their paths, and what it meant to say “yes” before they felt ready.

It’s a reminder that purpose doesn’t disappear when sport ends - it simply gets redefined, often in the in-between seasons no one prepares you for.

Listen if you’re:

• Navigating life after your sport and unsure what comes next
• Struggling with identity outside of performance or achievement
• In a season of transition and looking for clarity and direction

What happens when the dream you worked for your whole life suddenly changes?

In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with former UGA Cross Country runner Janie Sandel to talk about identity, surrender, and learning to trust God when your plans don’t go the way you thought they would.

Janie shares the incredible story of being recruited to run at the University of Georgia after a major knee injury that doctors said might end her career. What looked like a setback turned into an opportunity she never could have predicted.

But the story doesn’t stop there.

After arriving at Georgia and facing more injuries that ultimately led to her medically retiring from the team, Janie had to wrestle with some hard questions. What happens when the thing you thought defined you is taken away? And how do you keep trusting God when the path forward looks completely different than the one you imagined?

Through it all, Janie discovered that her purpose was never about performance. It was about people, obedience, and being willing to let God use her story in ways she never expected.

This conversation is an honest look at what it means to follow God even when the future feels uncertain and the plan doesn’t make sense.

Listen if you're…

• An athlete struggling to separate performance from identity

• Walking through an injury or unexpected setback

• Trying to trust God when your plans change

• Learning how to live boldly for Christ in competitive environments

• Needing a reminder that God’s purpose for your life is bigger than any one season

In this episode of Beam Boldly, Brooke sits down with 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Hezly Rivera to talk about the faith that has guided her journey through elite gymnastics and onto the Olympic stage.

Hezly shares how her relationship with God began at a young age and eventually became the foundation for how she approaches both life and competition. From praying before every turn in the gym to reading scripture during the Olympics, she explains how trusting God helped her stay calm, focused, and confident on the world’s biggest stage.

She also reflects on experiencing God’s presence during the Olympic Games, navigating the pressure and attention that comes with success, and using her growing platform to point others toward Christ - including placing Bible verses on her competition leotards.

This conversation will encourage athletes and listeners alike to pursue their dreams while keeping their faith at the center of it all.
