⚾️ Just in time for Opening Day! ⚾️

We’re stepping up to the plate with a brand new episode featuring former pitcher Brandon Duckworth — and if you’re a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, this one is for you. ❤️

In this episode, Brandon takes us beyond the mound — sharing what it really felt like to pitch in the big leagues, the pressure of performing at the highest level, and the mental toughness it takes to stay in the game when things don’t go your way.

We talk about:
✨ Navigating high-pressure moments and performance anxiety
✨ The mindset behind bouncing back from setbacks
✨ What athletes wish parents understood about supporting their kids
✨ Life after baseball and finding purpose beyond your identity in sports

This conversation isn’t just for baseball fans — it’s for anyone raising an athlete, chasing a goal, or learning how to handle life’s curveballs.

Aurora Sun Counseling is so excited to share that, as part of our sponsorship, we’ll be in Ocean City during competition week supporting these incredible young women 💫

This is such a high-pressure, high-cortisol week, and we’re honored to help competitors implement stress management and mindfulness techniques so they can feel grounded, confident, and truly present on stage and beyond.

Moments like this—captured right after being crowned Miss New Jersey—are the result of not just hard work, but resilience, mental strength, and self-belief 🤍

We’re proud to be part of the journey.

After eight years, the Miss New Jersey Competition is returning to Ocean City in June. Preliminary rounds are scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, June 18 and 19, and the final competition and crowning will be held at 8 p.m. on June 20.
