Laura Davidson (@skipping_the_midlifecrisis) brings the sunshine (and the double-unders) to Episode 34 of The Jump Rope Podcast 🌞

She’s a recent retiree, a Crossrope athlete, a two-time cancer survivor, and a full-time force of positivity in the jump rope community 💛

We talk about:

  • How jumping rope improved her bone density after cancer
  • Skipping at 170 BPM while jamming to her favorite playlists
  • That time she freestyled in front of 3 photographers at a Crossrope shoot 😅
  • Why meetups feel like hugging old friends you’ve never met
  • Her dreams of 60 double unders by her 60th birthday 🎯
  • And how many ropes she actually has (hint: it’s not 100, no matter what her husband says)


Laura didn’t jump rope during cancer treatment — but skipping came later, and it’s now a joyful part of her healthy, post-recovery lifestyle.
