In this episode, Mariel sits down with Brett Devloo, a blind skateboarder, sponsored athlete, and living example of what grit really looks like. Brett lost his vision at 16. But instead of giving up the thing he loved most, he got back on his board and refused to stop skating.

He shares how he learned to trust his body without his sight, why losing his vision actually removed his fear, and how having the right coach and community changed the course of his life. Brett opens up about breaking his femur in a major skate accident, the brutal recovery process, and what it took mentally to get back on the board again.

This is an episode about resilience, creativity, showing up on the days that feel impossible, and finding your way forward when the usual path doesn’t exist. If you need a reminder that you are capable of more than you think, this is it.
