We Gotta Talk: News, Issues, and Beauty for Women

155: Finding the Silver Lining, and Why There's Always a Lesson in Challenge, with Olympian Kelly Gunther


Listen Later

Olympic speed skater Kelly Gunther has seen some pretty low lows as an athlete.

First there was the time where she qualified for the Olympics, but a re-skate (i.e. an extra turn) given to a competing athlete kicked her out of the spot.

Then there was the time she had an injury so severe her foot was left dangling from her leg.

Still, she came back, and she went to the Olympics.

On top of all of that, there were complicated family relationships and a learning disability that impacted her confidence. But Kelly has learned--and lived--the spirit of perseverance. Of finding the silver lining.

In today's episode we talk about the mental strength it takes to come back time and time again from obstacles, and to always find the lesson. To always find the lining.

Now Kelly uses her story to inspire others to get out of their own ruts, and to always, always find the silver lining.

You'll walk away from this feeling so majorly inspired.
