Excited to welcome Victoria Garrick to the show today, host of Real Pod, former D1 volleyball player at USC, mental health advocate (the list goes on!). Garrick went viral after she gave a Ted Talk as a junior, highlighting the mental struggles many college athletes go through — labeling these as the “hidden opponent." In today's episode, she talks me through how she navigated her mental health journey, at times battling disordered eating, deep depression, and a packed schedule leaving little-to-no time for herself. We also address some helpful resources for anyone struggling to prioritize theirs — including inspiring professionals including psychologists and psychiatrists offering up free tools for the masses — as well as what it was like for Garrick to go on anti-depressants (and then, come off of them). Plus: How she navigates being someone that others look to for advice, and how she squashes negative self-talk.
