Markella, a writer, producer, director and mom of two active boys, went in for a routine surgery in 2011 at the age of 28 and woke up with a permanent injury that would force her to re-learn how to “do life” and change her approach to the everyday. She opens up about using her anger and tough love to shift her mindset, the importance of playing her own cards and how living in survivor mode your entire life makes it hard to know what it’s like to live. Four years ago, she finally found her voice when she met her incredibly supportive partner Eddie, and, in 2019, wrote, directed, produced and starred in It’s Just Like Riding a Bike, the story of her adventure racing in the grueling BC Bike Race, a seven-day mountain bike stage race, on only two weeks of training.Contact Us: Email: [email protected]: @brushcreekthriversFacebook: From Survivor to Thriver
