Kimmy Fasani | The Bomb Hole Episode 219

This week's episode is all about mindset and strength, and this week's guest, Kimmy Fasani, is here to lead by example. In tandem with the release of her new documentary "Butterfly In A Blizzard," Kimmy comes into the studio as a beaming light. And we're ready to follow. She's a ripping snowboarder, a mother, a breast cancer surviver, and a gem of a human. Tune in as she walks us through her rollercoaster of a life and gives us insight and depth like no other. You won't want to miss this one.
