Lolo Jones, OVER IT: How to Face Life’s Hurdles with Grit, Hustle, and Grace

"I learned how strong I was. I learned that I'm a fighter. I learned that failure is never going to break me." Olympic runner and bobsledder Lolo Jones joins Zibby to discuss her new memoir, Over It, and the importance of reckoning with her recent past. Lolo shares how reading has always served as inspiration for her, the ways her approach to health and fitness have changed over the course of her career, and the peace she found when she realized reaching her goal of winning an Olympic medal was not nearly as significant as the effort she puts into herself.
