Katie Meyer wasn’t just a national champion.
She was a team captain. A fierce competitor. A protective friend.
And just two weeks after bravely recording a podcast on mental health with her dad… she was gone.

🧠 In a world where over 60% of young adults say they struggle with their mental health, Katie’s story is a heartbreaking reminder: even the strongest-looking among us can be silently hurting.

This episode isn’t just about loss—it’s about why building mental skills before you need them is no longer optional.

✅ It’s about preparing for pressure.
✅ Naming emotions before they spiral.
✅ And building a mindset that doesn’t just perform—but survives and heals.

Her legacy lives on through Katie’s Save and Katie’s Law—ensuring no student ever has to face fear alone again. 🙏

🎧 Listen in, reflect, and carry this truth with you:
There’s no win worth your silence. No setback that ends your story.
Honor Katie—not just by remembering her saves, but by helping others save themselves.
