Brain Donations and Bipolar: Jen Kish's Mission to Make a Difference


Listen Later

This week the fellas chat with Jen Kish - the former captain of Canada's Olympic bronze medal-winning rugby sevens team and now a coach on Canada's Ultimate Challenge. Jen's got some wild stories to share about her days on the sevens circuit and how she used her lightning-fast skills and tenacious defence to leave opponents in the dust. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The guys dive into heavy topics like Jen's bipolar diagnosis and how it impacted her personal relationships, as well as her commitment to donating her brain to further research on the effects of trauma on women's brains. Tune in while Jen Kish opens up about her life, mental health, and the importance of fitness as an outlet.
