The joy has always been in getting better. This season, I'm chasing it for me...
Hi Everyone!
Back with another solo podcast. Before the season gets hectic, I wanted to talk about my racing plan in my own space and my own words: this year is an exploration.
After 16 years on the World Cup, I'm giving myself the freedom to follow where my curiosity is pulling me right now, which means more focus on GS and super-G and a lighter slalom schedule, starting with Killington. Less slalom, not no slalom!
In this episode, I talk about why this has nothing to do with slalom being "easy," what I get back in recovery and training time, what it means to ski for myself, and why I'm leaving a little room for discovery this season. I don't know exactly where it leads, and that's kind of the point.
Thank you for giving me the space to give it a go.
❤️ Love, Miki

Welcome to a slightly different episode, vlog-style!
Today it’s just me, pulling back the curtain on what’s actually going on in my head during the "offseason." From addressing the constant questions about retirement and motivation to the reality of only seeing my fiancé 5 weeks a year, I’m sharing the unfiltered side of life on and off the snow. This is just an honest look at some of my curiosities, stepping out of my comfort zone, and what’s next.
Drop a comment and let me know if you’d like a breakdown episode on ski racing disciplines and lingo for my next solo episode!

What does it take to become the most decorated U.S. Cross-Country ski racer of all time? For four-time Olympic medalist, 33-time World Cup winner, four-time Overall World Cup Champion, and seven-time World Championship medalist Jessie Diggins, it’s about more than medals—it’s about resilience, vulnerability, and the unbreakable bonds of team. Fresh off her retirement, four-time Olympic medalist Jessie sits down with Mikaela to share the real stories behind the sparkle, the pain cave, and what's next.
Jessie and Mikaela dive into Jessie’s Minnesota roots, the team-first culture that shaped her, and the mental strategies she’s developed to thrive in the infamous dance with the “pain cave” (as Jessie says, a "pain cave waltz"). Jessie shares candid stories about setbacks, resilience, and the importance of defining success by your own values—not just results. The conversation also explores Jessie’s advocacy for mental health, climate action, and youth access to snow sports, including her work with Share Winter Foundation, Protect Our Winters, and the Emily Program. Jessie opens up about her documentary “Threshold"—Executive produced by Patrick Dempsey—why vulnerability matters, and how she found peace in retirement by focusing on purpose beyond medals.
Whether you’re an athlete or just looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with wisdom, honesty, and a whole lot of sparkle.
