Ep 27 - Mimi Cesar - Challenging the Narrative of Never Good Enough


Listen Later

The first episode after a year-long hiatus (sorry - I went AWOL!)

Conversation with 2 x Team England Commonwealth Games representative in rhythmic gymnastics, Mimi-Isabella Cesar. 

In this first part, we speak about the highs and lows of Mimi’s competitive career and lead into her journey into entrepreneurship, inspired by righting the wrongs she experienced to be a better coach and leader to the next generation of rhythmic gymnasts. 

Some topics explored:

  • Suffering emotional abuse about her body weight and shape, and subsequently her age

  • The best feeling of rhythmic gymnastics - the silent moment

  • Top highlights in the sport

  • I’ve never felt enough

  • Holding sports leadership to account - coaches, judges, key decision makers

  • Recognising abuses of power and what that may look like in those you love - parents and guardians 

  • The hope with a new coach - Australian coach and sports psych - helping her gain confidence and rewrite the decade-long narrative 

  • At the end of the episode, we lead into what the second part will feature - introduce MIC and entrepreneurship, her growth and how MIC started during COVID, her global reach and extensive support network for gymnasts of all age ranges on MIC, her media and broadcasting work, and her vision for the future.
