Join us in this heartfelt episode as we delve into the remarkable life of Ashton Smith, a special Olympics athlete, accomplished author, and powerful motivational speaker. Ashton, a dedicated swimmer, candidly discusses the financial challenges faced by Olympic athletes and shares her personal battle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
We explore Ashton's bright future beyond her competitive career in the special Olympics, as she overcame her vision disability and homelessness. This incredible athlete has clinched multiple gold medals and has triumphed over adversity, conquering both her visual disability (astigmatism esotropia) and a speech impediment.
Discover Ashton's incredible resilience and determination as she shares her story, along with insights from her book, "Swimming UPSTREAM to Realize the Dream." Join us for an inspiring conversation with a true champion both in and out of the pool.
