#160: Jamie Mittelman on Mental Health & the Power of Women’s Stories
Description
Jamie Mittelman is the host of my new favourite podcast - Flame Bearers: The Women Athletes Carrying Tokyo's Torch. The podcast celebrates the journeys of unsung women Olympians & Paralympians.
And she joins me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week!
We discuss:
- the role sport and outdoor activities played in her family growing up,
- sport as a mental health tool,
- her struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) particularly during College and how it affected her love of soccer,
- where the idea for the podcast came from and why it’s so important,
- the episodes that have left a lasting impression on her,
- some of the common lessons or themes her guests have shared, and
- why she feels “athletically unqualified” to host the podcast and her experience with the Imposter Complex.
