The Joys Of The Journey
Welcome to The Joys of the Journey—a podcast where stories, experiences, and lessons from all walks of life come together.
I’m Tsvetelina Hristov—a mom, wife, and fencing coach. My journey began as a competitive athlete and has evolved into guiding others as a coach, building a business, and creating a life centered on growth and connection. I believe every step—whether filled with challenges or victories—holds value and joy worth sharing.
On this podcast, I sit down with people from diverse fields to have meaningful conversations about their paths, passions, and perspectives. From sports to business, family to personal growth, each guest brings a unique story that reminds us:
Everyone has a story worth sharing. Joy isn’t just found in the destination—it’s woven throughout the journey. Join me as we explore what it means to live fully, learn constantly, and celebrate the process along the way.

What Happens When You Don’t Win an Olympic Medal?
In today’s powerful episode, we’re diving into a truth most athletes quietly face: What if you don’t win that Olympic medal or world championship? Less than 1% of athletes reach that level—but that doesn’t mean your story ends. In fact, it might just be beginning.
This episode is all about embracing the next chapter. Your competitive career gave you more than wins and losses—it gave you discipline, grit, confidence, and a mindset that sets you up for success in life. Whether you're a young athlete questioning your future, a retired competitor, or someone simply navigating the “what’s next” moment, this motivational talk is for you.
We explore how the life lessons from sports—like resilience, leadership, and pushing through adversity—can help you build a future that’s even bigger than your athletic dreams. This episode is a reminder: your identity is not tied to medals. It’s built through the process.
Perfect for athletes, entrepreneurs, students, coaches, and anyone chasing growth.
