"I’m not the usual kind of ‘athlete’s mom’ that you’re accustomed to interviewing," Dierdre warned me when we first connected about being on the podcast.
And that's why I knew I had to speak to the mother of Alex Honnold, who is considered today's most accomplished rock climber and the real life star of Free Solo, Oscar winning documentary.
Raising a child like Alex Honnold takes courage and trust. This kind of support is usually taken for granted but can either stifle a child if 'overprotected' or let them blossom to become what is most natural to them.
Dierdre and I talk all about that kind of support and so much more.
However, Dierdre is an inspiration in her own right:
She speaks 5 languages fluently
Conducted an orchestra for 4 years
Plays multiple instruments
And is the oldest woman to date to climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park

Marina pulls back the curtain and dives deep into chats with the UNSUNG Heroes – parents, the coaches, the sponsors, the nutritionists and the mindset specialist – revealing the realities of what it takes to support a child in reaching their ultimate potential in becoming a pro athlete.
