Suzy Favor Hamilton: From Olympic Glory to Mental Health Advocate

I lost reality, right, and if you had cancer, he wouldn't leave you right. Fast girl, a life spent, running from madness.
Suzy Favor Hamilton was once the golden girl of American track and field, celebrated for her athletic prowess and wholesome image. But behind the medals and endorsements, she battled a hidden struggle with bipolar disorder. In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, Suzy opens up about her life’s tumultuous journey. After a misdiagnosis led to a harmful mix of medications, her manic episodes spiraled into hypersexuality and a double life as an escort.
Suzy’s candid storytelling reveals the deep impact of mental illness and addiction, as well as the devastating loss of her brother to suicide and her best friend to cancer. Despite these hardships, her husband’s unwavering support played a crucial role in her path to recovery. This episode sheds light on the complexities of bipolar disorder and the critical role of a loving support system.
It's a raw, honest account that will resonate with anyone facing similar challenges, offering hope and understanding.
