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.

Effort Goes Both Ways: Why Coaches Need Athletes’ Energy for True Success
In this episode of The Joys of the Journey, we explore the powerful balance between an athlete's effort and a coach's energy. True progress doesn’t come from motivation alone — it’s built on mutual discipline, understanding, and purpose.
We discuss why coaches need their athletes’ energy to be effective, how genuine effort from both sides leads to lasting success, and why parents must embrace their dual roles as supporters and mentors. From controlling your game rather than rushing through it to finding your personal “why,” this conversation dives deep into what separates temporary achievement from lifelong growth.
If you’re an athlete, coach, or parent striving for real results — this episode will remind you that success isn’t a one-way street; it’s a shared journey.
