“I want to help people have fun being healthy,” Williams shared with Harper’s Bazaar writer Lottie Lumsden. “It shouldn’t be hard, or a horrible journey.” Her message is clear – health and wellness can be enjoyable and fulfilling.
Reflecting on her experiences as an athlete, Williams delves into the lessons she has learned throughout her career in the pages of “Strive.” In an interview with NPR, she elaborated on the essence of the book, stating, “I don’t just share all the positive things.
