Kristina is an athlete, personal trainer, and endurance coach, whose life is turned upside down when she's diagnosed with a rare, genetic heart disease. Doctors warn her to stop exercising or risk dying. Forced to make drastic lifestyle changes, Kristina must also find answers to some fundamental questions: How will she continue her career and generate an income? How will she maintain her relationships when they all revolve around sports? More importantly, if she is no longer an athlete, then who exactly is she? Kristina shares her journey through the shock and denial at her diagnosis, the anger and grief at the realization that her life is being forever altered, and finally, the discovery of true inner strength as she learns to embrace and build on her new normal. Kristina's story is one that will be appreciated by anyone whose life is suddenly disrupted by an acute medical condition or has suffered a profound personal loss.
