Me and Katie had a very insightful conversation focusing on the obstacles faced whilst maturing and growing up as an athlete. We explore the varied impacts of injury, expectative pressure, and self-critique on mental, physical and emotional wellbeing. Being passionate about sports and other talents is brilliant, but it is important that we do not allow them to fully define our identity or self-worth. Through Katie's daily practices of positive affirmation, reflective gratitude, and living with self-love, we can learn to accept ourselves more and be proud of how far we have come in our unique paths of life. We really hope you enjoy!

It is MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK, and by having more open discussions like these with each other, we can become more understanding of both ourselves and others. I hope that this podcast has made you feel a little more positive and supported in a period that is challenging for our mental health.
