Q:
What do you see as some of the biggest
challenges facing young women today?
Isolation, polarized politics, social media,
global warming, influencers running amok —
it can all seem very overwhelming. What kind
of questions or advice-seeking do you most of-
ten hear from girls who look up to you?
I receive questions all across the map —
and I encourage everyone to check out
the “Ask Bravey” series on Youtube. In regards
to feeling overwhelmed: I completely hear
you. What helps me is to write my goals down
and focus only on what’s useful. I am also very
protective of my willpower — there’s a whole
chapter on this in the book!
What accomplishments thus far in your
life are you most proud of?
I am extremely proud of writing
“Bravey.” Running my Olympic race and
setting a new Greek national record in the 10K
was also a high point for me — it felt like my
mind and body were on the exact same page. I
go into more detail on this in the “Olympics”
chapter in “Bravey,” but feeling in complete
mind-body harmony was the ultimate expres-
sion, for me, of what it means to be an athlete.
Why was it important for you to raise
awareness about elite athletes’ mental

health? Why do you think those kinds of con-
versations haven’t happened sooner?
This is something I am tremendously
passionate about. When I was depressed,
the biggest turning point for me — honestly,
the epiphany that saved my life — was when
my doctor helped me look at my depression
as a “scratch on my brain.” Being depressed
wasn’t some nebulous thing, it wasn’t a per-
sonal failing — it was a mental health injury
that I could heal, just like a physical injury. I
understood that my brain was a body part like
any other, it can get strained and injured just
like any other, and it can heal like any other.
Once we see it this way, the stigma around
mental health goes away. I believe that this
trend is already happening and in time, go-
ing to the therapist will become just as much a
part of an elite athlete’s routine as seeing a PT
and chiropractor.
What is your current running life like?
Are you training for the 2021 Olympics?
Is it difficult to juggle the various demands on
your time?
I have many big athletic goals in my
future, but given the uncertainty with
COVID, I’m trying not to squeeze onto any-
thing too tight!
