Episode 109 - Niki Castle

#109: In this week’s episode, Kat is joined by Niki Castle. Niki grew up in San Diego and went to a top ranked high school for women’s basketball. She went on to Washington State where she played basketball and graduated in 2000. During her freshman year, Niki began to experience changes in her health but had difficulty explaining what was wrong. Throughout the episode, she opens up about these experiences and a diagnosis that she ran from for years. Niki now works with different organizations like NAMI Ending the Silence program where she speaks with student-athletes about mental health. We are grateful to have Niki come join us and you won’t want to miss her story!
