From Injury to Impact - How Emily Reclaimed Her Power on and off the Roller Derby Track

Krissy Krash Season 1 Episode 168

After six injuries, a concussion, and a pre diabetes diagnosis in one season, River could’ve quit roller derby for good. Instead, she drew a line in the sand and rebuilt her body and mindset from the ground up.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with River to unpack how she went from “everything is breaking down” to feeling stronger, faster, and more confident than ever.

You’ll learn:
How to break free from the injury–burnout cycle
The five-part “Transformation Framework” River used to make her comeback
Why fueling more (not less) unlocked her energy and endurance
How to let go of perfectionism and keep showing up
The game-changing power of support and community

Whether you’re coming back from injury, burnout, or self-doubt, this episode will remind you: your next chapter can be your strongest yet.
