Paralympian Lauryn DeLuca

Today’s episode is a little different and incredibly important. We’re joined by Lauryn DeLuca, a Paralympian in wheelchair fencing, for an honest conversation about what it really means to compete as a disabled athlete. Lauryn opens up about the unique challenges she faced on her path to the Paralympics, the emotional and identity struggles that came with retirement, and how she’s now using her voice to advocate for the Paralympic movement and greater recognition for these elite competitors. It’s a powerful episode about the Games that are too often overlooked, and the athletes whose stories deserve to be heard.
