  • Despite having her right leg amputated at age five, Bonnie St. John became the first African-American ever to win medals in Winter Olympic competition, taking home a silver and two bronze medals at the 1984 Winter Paralympics in Innsbruck, Austria.   She graduated Magna Coom Lauday from Harvard, earned a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, and has also served in the White House as a Director of the National Economic Council during the Clinton administration.    

    Today, Bonnie travels the globe as a highly acclaimed keynote speaker, expert, business owner, and the author of seven books including her latest work, MICRO-RESILIENCE: Minor Shifts for Major Boosts in Focus, Drive, & Energy.    

    She has been featured extensively in both national and international media including: The Today Show, GMA, CNN, CBS Morning News, PBS, NPR, and The New York Times.

    In this episode, I chat with her about how her mindset helped thrust her forward despite the odds and learn more about the shifts she says each of us can make to hone in on our ability to be resilient.   This episode of I Surrender is bought to you by Wingspan Health.
