089: Jessica Key: Why This U.S. National Dragon Boat Team Racer Says to Be The Champion of Your Own Life


Listen Later

Jess Key is a remarkable woman who says she’s a major underdog story. She’s a 41-year-old mother of three and she’s a dragon boat racer on the U.S. National Dragon Boat Team. You’d never know it today, but Jess has overcome multiple adversities. Both of her parents were drug addicts, she grew up with physical abuse, she and her brother lived for a while in a foster home, she was a runaway teenager and became homeless for a while, she was an alcoholic by the time she was a senior in high school, and eventually got addicted to drugs. 

In this interview, she talks about the epiphany she had that got her to stop taking drugs and then more recently she had another epiphany about how she didn’t even realize she had been living with PTSD all her life. She now is on a mission to share her story with the lesson she’s learned that we all are empowered to overcome our adversities and she encourages everyone to be the champion of your own life.
