Episode 15 with Kelly Catale (Professional Cyclist)

On episode 15 of Behind the Mind, elite off-road racer and mental health advocate Kelly Catale joins the show. In 2019, Kelly finished 10th in the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships and and has been on the podium for mountain bike, gravel, and cyclocross races throughout the country.

We discussed her long battle with depression, how she manages it, the many forms of depression, and the healthy ways in which to fight it. There was an awesome segment about meditation, how it's helped both of us and the structural changes that occur inside the brain with daily practice. We also talked about writing as therapy and what that does to the brain.
