When P.K. Subban's ex-fiancee Lindsey Vonn said, "You find so much more happiness and joy", soon after her breakup with the NHL star

Lindsey Vonn, the renowned champion alpine skier, opened up about her positive outlook following her split from NHL star fiancé P.K. Subban in 2021. In a candid conversation on Arianna Huffington's podcast, "What I've Learned," Vonn discussed how she found empowerment and personal growth in the wake of previous breakups.

Reflecting on her divorce from her husband of four years, Thomas Vonn, back in 2011, Vonn expressed that the experience had invigorated her skiing career. She shared that the following seasons in 2012 and 2013 had been particularly successful for her, as she had channeled her emotions into her ski racing.

Vonn had emphasized that it was during that time that she had truly felt independent and in control of her own destiny. Lindsey Vonn had said,

"That was the first time after I was divorced that I really felt like I was doing things a hundred percent on my own. I was able to channel all of my emotions into ski racing and it worked out well."

Agreeing with Vonn's perspective, Arianna Huffington had shared similar sentiments. Huffington emphasized that the lessons Vonn had shared were invaluable for individuals experiencing challenging personal circumstances.

In response, Vonn had reiterated that emerging on the other side of challenging experiences could be incredibly empowering. She had encouraged others to embrace the process and to find joy and happiness after overcoming hardships. Vonn had emphasized the importance of learning from such experiences and discovering one's true self in the process.

Lindsey Vonn had said,

"Obviously everyone has their struggles. Everyone has different parts of their life that are painful and difficult to get through. But when you get on the other side of it, you find so much more happiness and joy."

She added,

"If you embrace that, you can learn a lot and find yourself."
