On this episode of Comeback Stories, Darren & Donny are joined by Michael Phelps. Michael shares his story of battling depression on his way to winning 28 medals, becoming the most decorated Olympian of all-time. Michael talks about consciously deciding to leave himself vulnerable, the process of dealing with deep rooted family issues & his subsequent therapy and recovery.

Michael tells you how small changes made a huge difference in his mental health awareness, how quarantining during the pandemic helped to separate his personal & professional lives, and why becoming a mental health advocate has opened his eyes to a greater sense of self.
