Appreciating everything I have in this moment 💕 finishing up my 9th year of skeleton & I’m certain that I am loving it more than I ever have. Just a couple of weeks left on ice before I turn my eyes to prepping for 2021/22 👀

Just over here wondering why "that time of the month" is still so taboo to talk about?!? SO, here goes my shot at it. * As an athlete, there is nothing I know more than what my body is telling me - however, how my period affects my performance (whether I like it or not!) and well, there still is a lot to learn because I feel it isn't as well researched as it should be. Remember a few weeks ago when I got DSQ for being overweight? Yeah, that was because of all the extra water weight my body was holding onto during my period. It can be tough to not have control over it, so I've decided to speak up about it, and I'm not the only athlete who is taking a stand. It happens, so lets start the conversation. * To learn more, watch @periodmovement and their panel discussion with @karliesamuelson, @nicolina_cruzzz, and @karathrowsjav moderated by @mariemarkham , where my fellow professional athletes discuss how their periods have impacted their careers in sport. Link to the panel at www.gracedafoe.ca/links (in my bio) * #period #menstruators #periodawareness #menstruation #periodstigma #genderequality @paritynow (PS ENJOY THE #flashbackfriday )

It’s #LoveYourPet Day and I’m very sad I can’t be home with @ivydoodleyyc 💕 however she’s probably unaware that this day isn’t every day of the year!

Headed back to @whistlerslidingcentre on Sunday, and I can't help but reflect on my first trip, almost exactly 7 years ago. Crazy to think all that’s happened since this photo was taken! * * * We have a 3 week training camp to end off the year, and I couldn't be more excited to finish out the year strong. * * * @bobsleighcanskeleton @canfund @150women @nuunhydration * * * #ALLin #canfund #150women #teamnnuun #nuunelite #SoALLkidscanplay

Being a part of #teamnuun has its perks 😍😍 thanks @nuunhydration for keeping me hydrated 💧 #nuunelite #nuunlife #nuunambassador #nuunlove

Happy valentines to @brendanluge - the best partner, uncle, & dog dad I could imagine. Thanks for holding down the fort at home constantly & putting up with my craziness 😜❤️ (also 3 of my favourite living beings do happen to be in this photo, that’s why I chose it 😊)

Working hard or hardly working 🙃 I have an office at home, but sometimes a change in set up is needed for some deep thinking.... (and to be near a TV to watch some 90 Day Fiancé 👀) and of course @ivydoodleyyc is never too far away 😂

Pure happiness 🥰 🏠// arrived back in 🇨🇦 last night & officially in quarantine. For 2 weeks of racing in the USA, I (by the end) will have had to complete just over 3 weeks of isolation/quarantine. Craziness, but it was so worth it. Post quarantine I will be on my way to @whistlerslidingcentre to finish out the season!

We came for a good time, not a long time. ✨ Unexpectedly having to cut our trip short to return to Canada. While I wish we could stay in Lake Placid, I know I can’t wait to get to 🇨🇦 soil! ✨ A shoutout to @bobsleighcanskeleton for the opportunity to slide & race safely!

Happy Women & Girls in sport day! ✨ I can’t explain how much sport has enriched my life. Even before skeleton, there was skating, my first sport love. ✨ To all the young girls out there, I hope you find a way to move your body that brings you joy - It doesn’t have to be competitive sport! I promise, it will make you feel better & introduce you to some great people.

Until next time Park City 🙌🏼 Off to Lake Placid tomorrow to sleigh another week of NAC racing 🛷❄️

Thanks @utaholympicpark @ibsfsliding & @bobsleighcanskeleton for the chance to finally compete this season!!! A week of ups & downs ended with a 6th place finish, my best ever in Park City 🙌🏼🛷 onwards to Lake Placid! #nuunelite #teamnuun #canfund #150women

Just another day of learning. @utaholympicpark you are starting to grow on me 👀 also, can we talk about this @karbonsports @qwixskinz kit?! Straight 🔥

On the eve of the first race of 2021, @brendanluge (who is holding down the Fort at home!) told me my @canfund @150women package finally came! So cheers to you all #150Women I’m racing with you all behind me tomorrow 🙌🏼🛷

It’s been a while Park City!! Happy to be back - race week is a go starting tomorrow!! 🛷 @canfund @150women @bobsleighcanskeleton @ibsfsliding

The hardest part of leaving home is leaving this crew💜😭

❕The competitive season is finally a go & we are heading to where my international sliding career began - Park City!!! ❕BUT FIRST - an isolation period at a hotel & then my first plane ride since Feb 2020 😳. Stay tuned for more adventures!!

to the athlete who is told they can’t, or that they aren’t good enough. Keep pushing.... // Many of my “wins” over the last few weeks have come after numerous instances of doubt & failure by myself & by others. Honestly, it makes every success that much sweeter 😉🙌🏼

On this day in 2017, I stood at the top of #PizNair in 🇨🇭 and out of everywhere, I think this might be the best view I’ve ever seen 😍 @joannedafoe remember this?!?

I can’t describe the gratitude I have for @canfund @150women for believing in me & my dreams 🛷 // welcome to #TeamGrace 👊🏻

The best feeling in the world 🛷 // current mood: missing sliding & looking forward to being back on track soon!
