Everyone saw me on TV or read articles, and it was all about my great marriage, the white picket fence, all this success and my perfect life. But behind the scenes, it was a struggle.

I remember when I met Picabo Street, you know, how in awe I was of her and how much she inspired me, and I really hope to be that for young kids.

I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.

I don't really believe that you need to be married to someone to be their life partner.

I want to show America who I am and inspire young kids.

Everything about my life seemed so perfect to people. But I struggle like everyone else.

My crazy training-and-competition schedule leaves very little time to focus on my hair.
