Kelly Jones is a two-time national champion in eSports and eMTB, but her path to the top was anything but typical. In this powerful episode, she shares her journey from growing up in England to moving to the U.S. at 15, and how a snowboarding accident changed the course of her life. For the first time, Kelly talks about how that injury led to a long struggle with addiction and abuse—but it was the bike that ultimately became her lifeline.

After rehab, Kelly found a new identity and purpose through cycling. We talk about the highs and lows of recovery, the role of mental health, and how racing gave her a way forward. This conversation is a raw and inspiring look at transformation, resilience, and the power of sport to rebuild a life.
