Summary

As a mental health crisis unfolds amongst American teens, 19-year-old breaking sensation and Olympic hopeful Logan Edra, aka Logistx, joins No Off-Season to share her own experience and to advocate for a more open dialogue about mental health and young people. Identifying as an artist-athlete, Logan is partnering with Nike to help expand and redefine what the future of sport looks like. That includes trailblazing a new normal: a culture where winning and self-worth are separate measures and one in which mental health is perpetually discussed with openness and empathy. For Logan, this means sharing ways she’s navigated stigma in her BIPOC community, confronted generational trauma, and how she’s found the resolve to talk publicly about episodes of self-harm. Ultimately, Logan hopes to share a message of healing as she walks listeners through the tools and practices she relies on to heal herself.
