This is my first year fully moving to Europe for the race season and it has been a crazy experience. Despite spending three years living in the US for school, I felt totally unprepared and nervous to spend half of the year living alone in Europe. While some of the things that I worried about might seem silly or childish, until you've moved across the globe during a pandemic, you don't know the struggles. Here are some of my experiences, tips & tricks and a selection of silly questions for you to listen to.

This is such an exciting podcast for me to be putting out because although I've had the pleasure of knowing Alice for years I want to world to be graced by her contagious energy. From day one she's been one of my biggest competitors, inspirations and cheerleader. Don't let her modest demeanor fool you, Alice has proven that she's a force to be reckoned with at the World Junior, World Cup, World Championship and Olympic level. Aside from her numerous athletic achievements she has fought a courageous battle with an eating disorder for over a year now and she's been an inspiration to countless people. Her story has spread around the world and she's even been feature in the Washington Post and NBC Sports. She's helping break the stigma around athletes with eating disorders and showing the world that sometimes the hardest battle athletes face is outside of competition.

When people think of athletes they think of physically fit, motivated people who defy the odds of whats humanly possible. Unfortunately, this way of thinking has developed a very negative stigma around athletes with mental health struggles and I want to help change the way we view athletes mental health. There is no right or wrong way of dealing with these kinds of issues but I'm putting my personal experience to work to try and help people dealing with similar things that I've gone through. PSA I'm not a licensed therapist, just an athlete who wants to help spread some love and remind people that it's ok to struggle!
