Jordan Chiles: Representation, Mental Health, and Resilience in Olympic Gymnastics – Discussing 'I'm That Girl'

In this episode of Nothing Lightly, Cease and Dede dive into the powerful story of Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles. They break down her biggest achievements, the importance of representation in sports, and the mental health challenges faced by elite athletes. Drawing from her book I'm That Girl, the hosts explore themes of self-identity, family support, and what it really takes to perform under pressure.

The episode also covers injury prevention, the meaning behind Olympic medals, and why knowing when to quit can be just as important as pushing through. It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about resilience, dreams, and redefining success on your own terms.
