Breaking Barriers and Serving From the Overflow: US World Cup Captain Karameli Faaee’s Inspiring Journey
In today’s episode, Karameli Faaee (she/they) shares her inspiring journey to becoming the 2017 US Women's Rugby World Cup captain and the first-ever woman to coach a professional US men's rugby team. Karameli vulnerably opens up about new layers of her story to honor her authenticity and empower others. She recounts how overcoming childhood adversity, along with being Indigenous / Polynesian and queer, have shaped her life and career. She discusses how she transformed self-doubt and limiting beliefs into joy and success. Karameli serves others from a place of abundance: “I feel my purpose in this world is to support people, highlight their superpower…and remind them that we're all born whole, perfect and complete.”
Karameli Faaee is the Director of Operations for Rugby4All, using flag-rugby as a vehicle to teach leadership, self confidence and teamwork to middle schoolers in New York City. She also coaches the highly-competitive New York Athletic Club men’s rugby team - and she is training to be a transformational coach.

Karameli and I also talk about the following:
- Effectively leading others – whether in sports or in their careers – is rooted in communication, clarity, affirmations and being present
- Grinding it out and performing from a place of scarcity are not sustainable and only lead to surface-level success
- Self-acceptance and self-love create the space for deep connection and inspiring others to be their best
- Receiving feedback about performance offers the gift of knowing what we’re doing well and where there are opportunities to grow
