I Got Back Up: Getting back up with...

“The biggest moment in my life of getting back up was from feeling absolutely worthless and learning to appreciate myself”, describes Faith Dickey, Professional Highliner and Owner of Elevate Outdoors. After a car accident gave Faith a wake-up call, her life completely changed direction. Her path led her to a slackline festival, which shortly after led her to become a professional highliner and beat world records.

However, her twenties led her through injuries and burning out which in turn took her to rock bottom. Feeling totally worthless, and questioning “Who am I?” If she wasn’t Faith Dickey the highliner who sets records and highlines all the time, then who was she beyond the sport? Challenge your fears and you walk them. One small step at a time. So how has Faith’s life fast-tracked her and forced her to engage with her fears? How did she navigate through rock bottom, and discover her new purpose in highlining?

“I was born in Romania, and we escaped Communism to America,” explains Andre Popa, founder of Badassery Factory. With no English, no money, and eating out of trash cans, Andre had the ideology that if he can find food in trash where most people won't even look because it's a problem, then there's also a solution inside of that same identical problem, food to eat.

Andre has built the life he wants. Building Badassery Factory from a moment of suicide, and after an anxiety attack hospitalised him, this led to him understanding his past, his thoughts, his blueprint and that two pieces of matter can never occupy the same space at the same time. Your power is now, and as soon as you go into the future, the past, or escape this moment, you give your power away.

“I was recovering from an ACL injury, I was the fittest I had been, but my body felt broken”, explains Ellie Mitchell, Tier 3 footballer. Recovery from two ACL injuries and hanging up her boots for a while, Ellie was training excessively, and her eating didn’t match up. Now struggling with an eating disorder too, Ellie understood that she had to sort things out. When looking back, she doesn’t know or recognise herself, but that time in her life has taught her so much about herself, and even though she hated it, she is grateful. Football has always been a part of Ellie’s life, but why did it answer all her questions? Did social media contribute to her eating? And why has her experience only made her a better person?

“I had to get hurt a lot to write this book, I wish I didn’t, but I had too”, explains Jennifer Woodward, author of Ninety Days Without You. After learning that when she tried to put drugs and alcohol down, she couldn’t. The word co-dependency began to resonate, and the understanding that she liked to be in romantic relationships with people emotionally unavailable.

Taking a deeper dive into her childhood, Jenn learnt that although her parents were there physically, they weren’t there. She didn’t see intimacy modelled between her parents, and she felt emotionally abandoned. “My husband’s early complaint was I would like to spend more time with you, and nobody had ever said that to me”, describes Jenn. Why was looking back on her childhood so beneficial? And how did her triggers, habits and coping mechanisms affect her life?

"I don’t want to be vulnerable, words not in my vocabulary", explains Lisa Hepner, director of the The Human Trial. A movie driven by a desire to cure her own type 1 diabetes. Diabetes has been completely debilitating for Lisa, effecting her career trajectory, her personal and family life, and how to survive every day, making 180 decisions from the moment she wakes up. How does Lisa live with type 1 diabetes? How did the idea of her own journey spark the creation of the film? Why is diabetes debilitating? A question most of us don’t understand the answer to unless we either know someone or have it ourselves. She persisted. Keep persisting. Making this film for a decade, parallel with having this disease, it was a test of resilience, of perseverance for Lisa, and yet she persisted.
