Happy olympics!
As you may have guessed, in this special episode we're talking everything olympics! Starting with none other than the legendary gymnast herself, Simone Biles, and her decision to take care of her self (we're so proud of you!). Then we brought up the heavy topic of how the committee allowed an alleged sex offender, Alen Hadzic, to compete in this year's Olympics. Seriously?
As it turns out, the journey of women I'm the Olympics had never been easy from the beginning. Also, we talked about the Norwegian beach handball team's bravery in standing up for women's rights despite the fines. Ending it on a flip trick, skateboarding made it to the Olympics and it is an absolute joy to watch!
