Olympic gymnast Simone Biles has four gymnastics moves named after her.
She's the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) despite what she went through in Tokyo. And to many, she's the greatest because of what she did in Tokyo.
Simone Biles' greatest legacy may be the fact that she went public with her mental health challenges brought on by the pressure of the Olympics and the public attention of the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal.
Biles let people everywhere know that it's OK to not be OK.
In doing so, she started a global conversation on mental health and anxiety that clearly needed to be had after the world has shared in a brutal pandemic experience.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates four in 10 adults this year are dealing with anxiety or a full-blown depressive disorder.
And that's just the people who've reached out for help. The reality is likely much higher given the stress of pandemic life.
Biles proved sometimes you have to step back in order to step back in. And, say it with me, that's OK.
This fall, Biles and many of her teammates and gymnastics friends are touring the country with the "Gold Over America Tour." She's proving you can move forward, despite any challenges you face.
She and her Tokyo teammate Jordan Chiles are my guests in this week's episode.
