In this very special episode, Kaavya sits down with Blair Westerlund—former University of Texas volleyball player and a mental health advocate. After tearing her ACL freshman year, she had to find her identity outside of volleyball and prioritize her mental well-being. They talk about her journey with mental health and how she found strength to reach out for help. Additionally, Blair opens up about her decision to medically retire from volleyball in 2019.
