Racing Through the Darkness: Kelly Catale's Battle with Depression

Your truth, your reality of the journey that you're on might look differently than other people's, and it doesn't mean that it's not valid.
Elite off-road racer Kelly Catale has faced more than just physical challenges on the track; she's also been navigating the complex terrain of depression. In this episode of 'Behind the Mind', host Kevin Meiselman sits down with Kelly to uncover her journey through mental health struggles and how she manages to keep moving forward.
Kelly, who clinched 10th place in the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in 2019, opens up about the many faces of depression and the tools she uses to combat it. From meditation to writing, she shares the practices that have been game-changers for her mental well-being. Kevin and Kelly dive deep into how meditation can reshape the brain and why putting pen to paper can be a powerful form of therapy.
Whether you're an athlete, a mental health advocate, or someone looking for inspiration, Kelly's story is a testament to resilience and the importance of self-care. Tune in to hear how she balances her racing career with her mental health journey, and perhaps find some tips to apply in your own life.
