Even nowadays, there is an ongoing debate about how women can "have it all." They need to be mothers, professionals, and wives all at the same time — and in order to fulfill the "duties" associated to each role, they need to have superpowers.
There is no such talk about men, and society does not expect very much from them, so we look up to the women who seemingly have it all and who are successful. We aspire to be like them, but the key is to find a way to balance it all — and above all, not strive for perfection!
You may have heard of 43-year-old Kristin Armstrong. In this year's Olympics, she won the gold medal for cycling with a stellar time of 44:26:42.
She also has two other gold medals from previous Olympics. With all three, she just set the record as the only cyclist to win gold medals in the same discipline.
And if you don't already think that she is an amazing enough human being, wait until you hear about her life at home. She says it's her secret weapon to winning big, staying focused, and loving life!
Now, scroll down to hear what makes Armstrong the incredible athlete she is.
