EP #32 Learning life lessons as an injured athlete

In this episode I was joined by one of my best friends @Daniellelw to chat about the life lessons we have learned through injury (especially through some recent major setbacks this season) and how we have grown through tough times and what we would do differently moving forward. We talked about the importance of having a period as a female athlete, rest & recovery, the damage of overtraining and learning to listen to your body among many more lessons we have learnt through making our own mistakes. Disclaimer: If talking about disordered eating upsets you, you may want to miss this one.

This episode I talked about how our experience with pain is influenced by psychological factors and the complexity of the human body/ brain. My own injuries and experiences with pain have allowed me to understand my own experience with anxiety more and I find it incredible how our brains/ bodies work.

Reflecting on the toxic behaviours I did during my eating disorder/ when I was struggling with anorexia and sharing why life is SO MUCH BETTER WITH RECOVERY. Breaking these habits and re-training the brain truly leads to a much more enjoyable life.
