In this debut episode of The Todd Boffo Show, Todd sits down with Olympic legend Amy Van Dyken, a six-time gold medalist who became the first American woman to win four gold medals in a single Olympic Games. Beyond her record-breaking performances in the pool, Amy’s life took a dramatic turn in 2014 when an ATV accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. Since then, she has become a powerful voice for resilience, positivity, and living with purpose in the face of adversity.

In their conversation, Amy shares her journey from childhood asthma to Olympic gold. She opens up about the accident that changed her life, the mindset shifts that fueled her comeback, and the role of humor, gratitude, and faith in shaping her outlook today. This episode is a reminder that while we can’t always choose our circumstances, we can always choose our response.
