What happens when the sport you love nearly takes your life?
On this episode of My Fame, Explained, Larry Gilbert sits down with sisters Jamie and Jeanee MoCrazy to discuss one of the most inspiring stories in sports. Jamie was ranked the world’s No. 1 freestyle slopestyle skier and became the first woman to land a double backflip at the X Games before a devastating crash at the World Tour Finals left her in a medically induced coma with multiple brain bleeds.
Jamie shares the remarkable journey of relearning basic skills, overcoming a traumatic brain injury, and defying medical expectations to return to skiing. Alongside her sister Jeanee—an Olympic skier now training to represent Vanuatu at the 2026 Winter Olympics—the pair discuss resilience, purpose, mental strength, and turning adversity into impact through their nonprofit, MoCrazy Strong.
We also discuss their upcoming Alive to Thrive event, their Kilimanjaro climb, climate advocacy, and the lessons they’ve learned from overcoming life’s biggest challenges.
