Olympian Gabby Thomas On Choosing Happiness | A Slight Change of Plans | Maya Shankar
U.S. track star Gabby Thomas recently won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics. To celebrate, we’re sharing Maya’s conversation with Gabby that took place shortly after the athlete’s Olympic debut in Tokyo. Gabby explains why her relationship with running isn’t as straightforward as you might think, and how competing interests have continually led her to question whether running is the path she wants to pursue.

Yas every moment is a decision!
Thank you, Maya! You are absolutely charming, and I Iove this podcast. I am 6 episodes away from listening to every single episode:)
I'm a big fan of Isbell the musician / songwriter and, ever increasingly, the man. I wound up appreciating Maya as much as Jason. Wonderful questions and context. Thanks
By far the best interview of Doctor Harris.
I'm most excited about the lesser known stories. I love hearing stories of non-celebrities. We have a lot to learn from everyone, not just the Hollywood crowd.
Mindfulness can ease the mind, but this talk isn't mindfulness. Please don't let your mind wonder as they suggest. Harmful advice here.
Erika is a beautiful mind and the whole you.
34:00 ......living the life that you want.....
Very good episode I plan on coming back to listen to it again . Im so happy I live in an age where content like this is created.
Can childhood trauma indicate later in life of severe loneliness?
Hey man from what ive read my understnding is an absolute Yes the reasons being : Trauma makes you withdrawn and it takes a part of you with it especialy when you are a child. At young age the trauma instead of being processed and understood it grows into you, it gets internalized.And Perhaps you May feel that No one will truly get you. Again im No expert and i don't really know the exact situation .The only thing i know for sure is that the rates of loneliness are higher among people with traumas and /or depression
How is it that so few people are hearing these podcast's! Great content
If divorce wasn't part of my story, I'd like to have learned more from my grandparents. The opinion on my parents gets a little foggier sometimes. At least they're still around.
Hi Maya, I just stumbled across your work after hearing you on the Huberman Lab podcast and I’ve done a deep dive of your podcast over the last few days. Wow wow wow. Just as Kate said, you’re so smart and it’s clear that you’ve put so much thought and effort into this podcast to bring listeners actionable value and education in a very easy to digest medium. Thank you for making this podcast and I can’t wait for you to hopefully one day write a book of all your learnings from these incredible people.
First, first time being first in the comments 🤚. This discussion is great, especially how mental chatter occurs.
It doesn't serve to indulge in an network and try to reciprocate courtesy with vanity if the goal is to make scientifically/lifely interesting content. People that search for the scientific type of content don't, in the context, care about politics. That's politics. That's not interesting. That's why it makes no views. Normal you took the opportunity but I'm not sure it's useful for anyone : except Hillary that could think it might help her demagogic views as a professional politic (spoiler : it hasn't).
Settings aside what she did with investors and patients for a moment, the fact that she deliberately got pregnant twice to avoid prosecution shows what a master manipulator she is and can put even her children's future at risk to save her ass! Horrible
such a hero, also wondering how this affected other similar biotech companies fundings?
Annie is a grifter, scammer, thief, and a liar. Don’t listen to her BS. she would literally get booed, spit on, and have stuff thrown at her if she tried to play any tournament during the WSOP.
You're an excellent interviewer. It would be great if there was video.
She asks good questions and lets him speak. Really good interview. I learned a lot I didn’t know, even having listened to as much as I could find elsewhere.
Great info from both of you. Thanks so much!
I have a teacher friend who says listening skills and the ability to follow directions well are some of the most important reasons(also reading skills...phonics, etc) to enroll children into preschool. I agreed immediately. How can a child succeed without those skills?
You were fantastic on morning Joe. Listening skills must be taught by parents ❤️
I’m a linguist by degree, vocation and avocation. And I latch onto some voices cuz, phonics, round vowels and tambour. James Baldwin, Muhammad Ali, Jason Isbell and a raft of Creole/Cajun musicians. It’s fascinating.
Loved this interview!! Big Jason fan!! Great questions Maya!! ❤❤
As a recovering Baptist, I can attest to the cult-like nature of growing up in that environment. Catholics ain't got nothin' on the Baptists in the guilt department.
This is heartbreaking and wonderful. Your interviews are truly special and worth listening to. I'm going to recommend your channel to everyone.
Wonderful interview. Very well done. You have a new subscriber.
Outstanding interview
Absolutely fascinating
Tremendous!
I had so much respect for Jason before this. Now, the man is legend in my estimation. So well spoken and thoughtful responses, not just showing up and humoring Maya. We can now really understand his lyrics and their purposes. Great, insightful, hard questions that we all wanted to hear, and he answered honestly, respectfully, and with his usual brilliance. This artist literally puts his heart and soul into every album, no vapid filler songs like EVERY other musician. And, yes he is the artist the rest are musicians
Any relation to Nora Jones? You are as beautiful as she is, with mega talent also. Just wondering.
Nora Jones is Ravi Shankar's daughter, so maybe
Great interview. Thank you Maya and Jason.
I came here for Isbell. And ended signing up for Maya's podcast. Amazing interviewing.
Great interview. I'm a pretty big fan of his and he revealed some things I'd never heard him discuss before.
She looks like emperor Palpatine from Star Wars aka Darth Sideous
this episode was really good!
Erica is such a HERO! A real hero!
You Hit A Grandslam. With Your Comment Richard.
I think that we need to link regret to the idea of unfulfilled potential. There is certainly the element where we play out the maybes and the alternate story of our lives that could have been while being weighed down by the present. Great insights from Dan!
i'm addicted to your podcasts now! thanks so much.
Wow this was the best thing I’ve listened to in a long time🎉
"We often assess the quality of our decisions based on their outcomes, not on the quality of the decision-making process." Such a perceptive encapsulation of the situation the rescue divers were dealing with. What an impressive interviewer. And an even more impressive Doctor. We're so ready to judge clinicians if things go wrong, but we aren't the ones who have to step up to the plate and make a choice under such fraught circumstances. What a great conversation.
True hero. Great human
Amazing content 👌 👏 the 🌎 loves it keep up the great work
Dots connected....great interview 🤔
I'm obsessed with the story of the Thai Cave Rescue and read or watch everything I find about it; that's no doubt why this popped up on my feed. I have to say I was very impressed by this interview. Dr. Shankar was obviously well prepared and asked perceptive and intelligent questions. Dr. Harris has told his stories many times and I've heard some of them word-for-word several times before, but Dr Shankar managed to elicit deeper and more enlightening responses from him, by knowing what she was talking about and encouraging him to go a little deeper into his feelings and his perceptions of the extraordinary events he was involved in. That made this podcast more valuable and interesting than I expected. Very well done--thank you.
Such an inspiring podcast, so glad I found you! ❤🙏🏼
Great interview and topic! Happy to have heard about your podcast from an old dear friend. My only complaint is paying $15/mo for Premium so I never have to hear ads on TH-cam but then having to hear ads in the middle of the podcast. Disappointing! Otherwise great.
Well done to Erika for helping to get Holmes jailed.
