In this deeply moving episode of the Kintsugi Podcast, I sit down with Alison Tetrick, a champion cyclist whose journey has been both inspiring and heart-wrenching. Alison opens up about the devastating crash in 2010 that left her with a traumatic brain injury and the arduous road to recovery that followed. This conversation is raw and filled with emotion, and it showcases Alison's tenacity and spirit. She shares the importance of grace in recovery, how she now advocates for greater equity in the sport, and her work for the upcoming Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
