EP. 80 - Lauren Fisher | Retired from the CrossFit Games… Now What’s Fueling Her Fire?

12 Years. 9 CrossFit Games. One Powerful New Chapter.

In this emotional and inspiring episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with CrossFit legend turned visionary coach and entrepreneur, Lauren Fisher (@laurenfisher). After more than a decade competing at the highest level, Lauren recently announced her retirement from competitive CrossFit, stepping away from the floor — but not from the mission.

Together, Bryce and Lauren dive into a deeply personal conversation about grief, identity, purpose, and power. Their connection runs deep — both elite athletes with a foundation in basketball, and both having lost a parent to cancer. Through this lens, they explore how sport can shape us, break us, and ultimately help us rebuild ourselves stronger than before.

Lauren opens up about the emotional decision to retire, the unforgettable moments from her Games career, and what it means to now lead from the front through her movement @grownstrong — empowering women to own their strength, inside and out.

If you’re navigating a transition, facing heartbreak, or searching for what’s next, this conversation is your invitation to follow your heart and grow through what you go through.
