204 - When Our Bodies Betray Us - Amber Johnston & Nicole Talk Back Surgery

Amber Johnston is a semi-pro OCR athlete and fellow spondy warrior. Nicole found Amber not through the world of endurance sports, but on a 10k member facebook support group for spondylolisthesis. Amber had surgery 3 months before Nicole. Today they talk about what it means to be an athlete, to accept that sometimes you can't fix your body on your own, and all the blood, guts and glory that goes into having a life-changing surgery. Including but not limited to constipation, sex, drugs, Meal Train, accepting help, having down days, and the village you need to get you through it.

If you have gone through surgery or are considering surgery, this episode is a great one to help you both appreciate the process, prepare yourself for the future and help others who are going through a situation where they need some help now.
