Growing Up Around Fame and Life Lessons from Intellectual Disability - Tim Shriver
Listen now
Description
We’re back with Season 2 of Tiger Therapy!!! What’s it like growing up in one of the most famous families in the world? How does this shape your sense of self worth, and the pressure you put on yourself to have an extraordinary career? I’m beyond excited to be kicking off S2 with a conversation with the amazing Dr. Timothy Shriver, disability rights activist and Chairman of Special Olympics.  You may well already know who Tim is - he’s a disability rights activist, and Chairman of Special Olympics. Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. And if you recognise the name “Shriver” beyond Tim - then that may well be because of Tim’s family. While nobody wants to be defined by one’s relatives, it’s fair to say his family have shaped the world as we know it today - and have also shaped Tim’s life work. His mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founded Special Olympics, and also happened to be sister to former U.S. President John F. Kennedy. His father Sargent Shriver, founded the Peace Corps.  I’m so grateful to Tim for opening up with me and sharing what he’s learned about self doubt, why the comparison game is dangerous, and the life lessons and unexpected meaning he’s found from working with those with intellectual disabilities. _______ Social media:  @pippa.woodhead @tigerhall @timothyshriver @specialolympics Hosted on Acast.
