Road to Recovery Following a Life-Changing Crash

May 5, 2023

Have you ever lost your personality, been depressed, had a concussion? At my third Winter Olympics, the 2014 Sochi Games changed my live forever. Shaw Spotlight has released a short video of my road to recovery following a life-changing crash. I hope you or your friends can learn that if you’re mental health is or has been suffering, you’re not alone.

COVID times weren’t easy for everyone, I did a whole podcast series on the shoulder-season blues (seasonal affective disorder)  because I wasn’t feeling well myself.

This fall and winter was similar for me. Changing my life from elite athlete, traveling all the time, to being in lock down due to COVID and now I’m not competing and not traveling as much, keeps challenging my mental health.
