Four-time Olympic sprinter Donna Fraser knows that winning and succeeding aren't always the same thing. She joins me to reflect on the heartbreak of narrowly missing an Olympic medal, the resilience that carried her through a breast cancer diagnosis, and the power of believing in yourself when life doesn't go according to plan. We explore what it means to redefine success, find strength in adversity, and turn our hardest experiences into opportunities to help others. We also answer a Dear Sugar letter about how to support a friend facing a serious illness.
