The Lonely Price of Olympic Gold | Lindsey Vonn
Fri Feb 06 2026
Lindsey Vonn reveals the hidden cost of becoming the greatest downhill skier of all time: devastating loneliness, crippling depression, and an exhausting pattern of people-pleasing that nearly broke her.
You've probably felt that same pressure to make everyone else happy while your own needs get pushed aside, or wondered how to come back after life knocks you down repeatedly. She shares the exact mental shifts that helped her process trauma without storing it in her body, the journaling practice that kept her grounded through 20 years of crashes and comebacks, and why working on yourself isn't selfish.
You'll learn how to stop abandoning yourself in relationships and career decisions, and discover that your greatest moments come not from perfect performances, but from pushing past your absolute limits when everything seems impossible.
