Keep Swinging: What Beep Baseball and Blind Athletes Teach Us About Love and Possiblity

Keep Swinging: What Beep Baseball, Blind Athletes & Fearless Living Teach Us About Love, Confidence & Possibility Episode Overview What if the only thing standing between you and a completely different life… is one swing? This episode doesn’t just land—it hits. Recorded after an unforgettable moment at Fenway Park, Kerry sits down with Wynter Pingle and Johnny Coe—two people who redefine what it means to show up, trust the process, and go after something before you feel ready. Wynter is a blind musician, runner, athlete, and chef. Johnny is her teammate, guide, and creative counterpart. Together, they pull you into the world of beep baseball—a sport built on trust, instinct, and courage. But this conversation goes way beyond the field. It’s about identity. It’s about fear. It’s about the moments where you decide—I’m doing this anyway. What You’ll Hear in This Episode • The powerful story behind playing beep baseball at Fenway Park • Why “being a little scared” might actually mean you’re living right • How Wynter redefined what she thought she was capable of—at every stage of life • The surprising connection between movement, confidence, and finding love • What trust really looks like (on the field and in relationships) • Why community is the missing piece for so many people feeling stuck • The truth: you don’t fail by trying—you fail by never stepping up to the plate Standout Moments • “Until you’re dead, you can always discover new parts of yourself.” • “People living their lives right are always just a little bit scared.” • “It doesn’t matter if I beat someone else. What matters is if I beat what I thought I could do.” • “You miss every shot you don’t take—so keep swinging.” What is Beep Baseball?
