Summary
HAPPY MONDAY! Morgan brings on two guests this week. First she interviews five-time Olympic gold medalist and multiple world record-holder in the sport of swimming, Missy Franklin. Missy shares her experience training for the Olympics since she was young. But how did it all impact her mental health and was there ever a moment of hitting rock bottom? Then adaptive athlete Amy Bream comes on to share her experience being born without one leg. She went from chasing a career as an artist to participating in CrossFit games. Morgan also asks her to share the way people can be more open-minded when around those with a birth defect.
