Welcome to Look Who It Is

I’m Nicole Roundy. Former professional snowboarder. Two-time Paralympian. World Champion. This Substack is the home base for everything I’m building. The book, the podcast, and the random babbling.

I spent twelve years on the US Paralympic Snowboarding Team, competed at two Paralympic Games, and pioneered a sport people considered “impossible.” I retired in 2018 and have spent the years that followed healing, growing, and rebuilding.

I’m not here to inspire you. I’m here to be honest about what it actually costs to outgrow a version of yourself, what rebuilding looks like, and what it means to finally show up for yourself.

The podcast is coming. The book is in progress. For now, this is where I write.

This is a space for people who are done pretending. Show up in the comments. Share what you’re outgrowing. If this work means something to you, a paid subscription is the most direct way to support it and keep it going.

Either way, I’m glad you’re here.
