84. Clara Hughes: Learning to Breathe Elite Canadian athlete Clara Hughes is the only person in history to have won multiple medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The six-time medalist powered through pain to achieve extraordinary success—with profound consequences for her body and mind. A catastrophic knee injury coincided with menopausal hot flashes and dizzying mood swings, forcing her into stillness, and depression. Finding little support through traditional avenues, Clara turned to psychedelic-assisted therapy; thus began a trip to the roots of long-buried inner pain, and back to herself. Grab a cup of coffee and spend your Sunday with this Canadian icon as she shares her healing journey with vulnerability and humour in this candid conversation with Joanna Cheek. Presented in partnership with Simon & Schuster Canada.
