It’s time to have the talk. The therapy talk. I'm joined by my co-host Kathryn Slater to have a candid discussion about our experiences with therapy. We open up about the stigma surrounding mental health treatment and how therapy has helped us overcome challenges. We get vulnerable about past struggles and the insights we've gained through years of personal work. For anyone questioning whether therapy could help them, or those interested in normalizing conversations about mental wellness, this episode is for you.

On today's show, we are treated to a new format. I get to be the guest, and my dear friend Kathryn Slater takes over the show to ask me all sorts of questions about my decision to un-retire from bike racing.

We discuss a wide array of topics, including my history with mental illness and chronic illness, meeting myself where I am, fears and excitement for what's to come and so much more.
