190. Sarah True, Olympian & Ironman Triathlete

"One of the hardest conversations I ever had was to admit that I'd been struggling. And I no longer wanted to be alive."

Sarah True is a professional triathlete and Olympian. On this episode, she honestly and vulnerably shares her story of competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, hitting rock bottom, and the intense emotional recovery that followed. She opens up about her history with mood disorders and depression, and talks about how stress affects her body and her performance. She also talks about the past two years competing at the Ironman distance, including a very good year followed by a challenging one.
