from What Are You Made Of? · host Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco

Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Vanessa Ruck, also known as "The Girl on a Bike." Vanessa shares her journey from being an adrenaline-seeking outdoor enthusiast to overcoming life-altering challenges after a devastating accident in 2014. Initially dismissed as bruising, her injuries turned out to require seven surgeries and years of recovery, forever changing her physical capabilities and forcing her to confront intense mental health battles. Yet, her resilience led her to discover a new passion for motorcycle racing, pushing her limits in some of the world’s toughest endurance races, including becoming the first woman to complete the grueling Tunisia Desert Challenge. Vanessa opens up about her struggles with chronic pain, her difficult pregnancy, and how she manages mental health amidst adversity. She also reflects on the importance of authenticity, especially in a social media-driven world, and her mission to inspire others by sharing both the highs and lows of her journey. Tune in to hear how Vanessa redefined her identity, embracing vulnerability, resilience, and positivity as she continues to make the most out of each day.
