What happens when a top-tier athlete, defined by discipline and control, is faced with a rare illness and the collapse of an 18-year marriage? Risa August got off her couch, named her tumor “Bubba,” grabbed her bike, and rode 1,845 miles down the Pacific Coast, battling pain, gale-force winds, and heartbreak.
In this gripping episode, Risa shares how she traded perfectionism for authenticity. From wearing Wonder Woman tutus during radiation treatments to trekking Machu Picchu, her story isn’t just about surviving—it’s about redefining what it truly means to live.
Tune in as Risa inspires us to let go of what holds us back, wear imperfection like a tiara, and live life fully unleashed. This conversation will leave you breathless, motivated, and ready to face whatever life throws your way.
