Today, we have a 3-time olympian and gold medalist on the show, Chandra Crawford, to share how her high-vibe energy and growth mindset led her to turn her life challenges into opportunities. She shares everything from her struggles with an eating disorder and the messy healing process that led her to embrace self-compassion to what it takes to raise a family while also pursuing her big bold goals.

Prior to qualifying for her first Olympics, Chandra also founded a national charity, Fast and Female, whose mission is to keep self-identified girls ages 8 to 14 healthy and active in sports. Fast and Female believes in the power of positive sports experiences and role models to help girls build leadership skills, teamwork, and resiliency.

The stories, resources, and advice Chandra shares will leave you ready to sit with your emotions, face your challenges, and do your part to make the world a better place for future generations.
