Tumbling Through Life
Podcast Description
I am so excited to introduce my next guest—my infamous Puggy, Ava! Now, let me take you back a bit. Ava was one of seven variations of ‘Ava' on the team her freshman year, and with that many versions of the same name, we obviously had to get creative with nicknames. And that's where 'Pug' came in. I’m sure she probably slightly hates it (because let’s be real, ‘Ava’ fits her too), but she’ll always be Pug to me.
Ava has such a unique and inspiring story, and I can’t wait to dive into her experience here at Skyridge. She was one of only three freshman flyers in her class, and she really hit the ground running with a strong start to her high school cheer career. Today, we’re going to talk about the highs and lows of flying and what it really takes to push through at an elite level.
I know this story is going to be so insightful for athletes, especially when it comes to confidence and mindset. If you’ve ever doubted yourself or faced a challenge that felt too big to overcome, this episode is definitely for you!"

This week on Tumbling Through Life, I’m joined by one of my favorite athletes (and my niece), Hannah.
From growing up in the cheer world to becoming a two-time Skyridge Cheer captain, Hannah shares the highs, the setbacks, and the unexpected path that led her to cheering in college at UVU—something she never thought would happen. We talk about confidence, leadership, UCA camp, college cheer, and why sometimes the opportunities you never planned for end up changing your life.
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “good enough” or felt like your journey looks different than everyone else’s, Hannah’s story is proof that your path doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.
We laugh, reminisce, and share some of our favorite memories before she heads off on her next adventure serving an LDS mission.
🎙️ Whether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or just someone trying to figure life out, this episode is a reminder that you never know where one opportunity might lead.
Let’s tumble through life together.
