Welcome to the debut episode of Female Athlete Diaries, hosted by Kirsty Sheehan. In this deeply personal introduction, Kirsty shares her motivation for launching the podcast—creating a space where women in sport can share their stories, struggles, and triumphs. Drawing from her experiences as a dietician, triathlon coach, and athlete, Kirsty opens up about the challenges of body image, disordered eating, and the isolation many women feel in the world of sports.

This episode explores the parallels between private struggles and the broader issues faced by women athletes, from body dissatisfaction to the pressures of performance and social expectations. Kirsty’s journey is one of vulnerability, resilience, and a commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering community. Tune in to hear stories of perseverance, body acceptance, and the realities of being a female athlete in a world often dominated by male voices.

Join us as we honor the journeys of women who have suffered, persevered, and triumphed—because this podcast is about all of us, and for all of us.
