Today’s guest is Kristin (Goett) Jenny (kristinjenny207 on Instagram), an accomplished long distance triathlete and writer. World Mental Health Day was observed on October 10 as a way to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health, so this could not come at a better time. Because in this conversation, Kristin opens up about her struggles with both anxiety and OCD, which, as she will share, almost ruined her passion for triathlon and derailed her personal life, too. Fortunately, Kristin has found the right plan to treat her issues and is consistently working through them. And while she’s comfortable talking about her struggles today, that was not always the case. Now, Kristin hopes to break the stigma of mental health challenges and make people feel less alone. I am honored Kristin chose to share this brave story with all of you because it is so, so important to hear for anyone who has struggled or is struggling with anxiety.
