About this episode
Celebrate good times, c’mon!
On today’s pod, co-hosts Lauren Tuiskula and Alessandra Puccio honor a true Olympic icon: Mikaela Shiffrin, the most decorated Alpine skier of all-time and now a three-time Olympic gold medalist after winning yesterday’s slalom. Every Olympian’s journey is unique and Shiffrin’s return to the podium is no exception. Today, we’re going back to the beginning: from her Olympic debut at the 2014 Sochi games to the eight-year medal drought to her 2026 triumph, Shiffrin’s story is not only compelling, but important to share, particularly as it pertains to Olympian mental health.
