How Coach Flo Reinvented Her Life: The Black Rowing Queen Story | EP 23

Описание: What happens when the host becomes the guest? In this special episode, guest host Dr. Kathleen Sharp interviews Coach Flo Elkins (The Black Rowing Queen) about her journey from social work to fitness entrepreneurship—and how rowing became her pathway to purpose and peace.

Coach Flo shares how her background in psychology, therapy, and foster care/adoption shaped her coaching philosophy, why rowing is a powerful low-impact sport for women over 40, and what it looks like to “pass the torch” through youth development and opportunity creation. She also opens up about her reset practices when life feels heavy—box breathing, nature, movement, and the power of being real about mental health.

In this episode you’ll hear:
📌Flo’s origin story: psychology, social work, and a major career pivot
📌How she discovered rowing and fell in love with the water
📌Why rowing supports longevity, strength, and confidence over 40
📌How she coaches with empathy, structure, and multiple learning styles
📌Corporate wellness: building cultures that reduce burnout
📌“Elevated Flo” flow state moments in nature and community
📌Passing the torch through youth rowing + access to opportunity
