Hall of Fame Winner, Hall of Fame Loser, Same Woman: Kimberly Stevens

Kimberly Stevens calls herself a Hall of Fame winner and a Hall of Fame loser, and she’s earned both titles the hard way. A University of Iowa swimmer who set Big Ten records and won national championships, Kimberly also survived child loss, two divorces, four years in the hospital with her daughter before a liver transplant, breast cancer, and home foreclosure, then rebuilt her life from the ground up.In this episode, we rip apart the two most dangerous words people hide behind: “I’m fine.” We talk grief, trauma, identity loss, faith, parenting, resilience, and why small wins are the only way out when life buries you. Kimberly also breaks down her ROSE framework: Recognize, One step at a time, See/celebrate milestones, Extend, and why “never give up” isn’t motivation… it’s survival.Kimberly’s book: Altered (ALTAR’d): Finding Hope Through Grit and Gratitude to Never Give Uphttps://www.amazon.com/ALTARd-Finding-through-GRATITUDE-NEVER/dp/B0BQ9LLP7HKimberly’s nonprofit: https://extendtherose.org/ — bring hope to kids/families in hospitalsROAR Gallery (upload a positive short): https://extendtherose.org/roar-galleryWant Kimberly to know you came from FTS?
