Never expected to sit, stand, walk, or even possibly live, McKenzie Coan, who was born with brittle bone disease, has spent her life defying the odds. At 8 years old, she would set out on a successful swimming career. Four years later, she would compete at the London Paralympic Games in 2012. She would stand atop the Paralympic podium 3 times in 2016 in Rio. Now, she is heading to Tokyo for her 3rd games. We talk with her about her life, her career and her new book, “Breaking Free – Shattering Expectations and Thriving with Ambition in Pursuit of Gold” which tackles some of today’s hot topics including discrimination, mental health, self-care, and body image.
