Welcome back to the party, Party People 🎉
This week, we’re joined by one of the most fearless and fascinating young stars in the game, Olivia Moultrie, and trust us, she’s not waiting her turn…she’s taking it.
At just 20 years old, Olivia is already in her sixth professional season with the Portland Thorns FC, but her story goes way beyond the stats. She opens up about the mentality that’s fueled her rise, from training with pros as a kid, to suing the National Women's Soccer League at 15 to change the rules, and winning.
We get into the mindset behind her confidence (“whatever I decide my reality is… that can be the truth”), the competitive fire that’s been there since day one, and the role her dad played in building that belief system from the ground up.
Then things get interesting…
Abby challenges Olivia on what it really means to be a forward, pushing her to embrace the responsibility of impacting every single game. And Olivia doesn’t shy away. Instead, she leans in, revealing the internal standard she already holds herself to, and how close she is to unlocking another level.
Plus:
The moment she knew she belonged at 15
Why she’s never been fazed by her age
The mentality that separates good players from great ones
And whether she’s coming for Christine Sinclair’s all-time international goal record 👀
This is a conversation about confidence, pressure, leadership—and what it actually takes to become the best in the world.
Let’s get into it.
