Then Sarah talks to Jessica Bartley, the Senior Director of Psychological Services for the US Olympic and Paralympic committees, about working with elite athletes and how the Ben Simmons situation can inform conversations about mental wellness. Finally, Sarah talks athlete moms and the "motherhood penalty" with Molly Dickens, a PhD, stress physiologist, and co-founder of &Mother, a nonprofit focused on gender equity and working motherhood.
