    Two days after Ali Truwit graduated from Yale University, she was attacked by a shark, fought it off and won.

In this episode, Midge Purce sits down with Ali to discuss her path from trauma, to radical self-acceptance, to the Paralympic podium. They dive deep into how our minds can be the biggest barrier to accomplishment, overcoming negative brain loops with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and why we are all far stronger than we think. Ali and Midge also talk about how they met at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show in Miami, overcoming body dissatisfaction, and why Ali is embracing a multi-hyphenate identify.

In this episode of Confessions of an Elite Athlete, Steven breaks down the neuroscience behind flow, why it dramatically improves performance, and how everyday habits—from constant notifications to cluttered workspaces—can quietly destroy your ability to access it.
