Description

Send me a message, how did you enjoy the show?

In this empowering episode, we dive into the transformative BodySelf approach to body image healing, a framework designed to help female athletes redefine their relationship with their bodies and unlock their full potential. 

Together with my guest Whitney Otto, we explore how societal pressures, and competitive environments shape body image and why addressing these challenges is crucial for mental and physical well-being.

You’ll learn about the key “muscles” of the BodySelf approach—mindful awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion—and how they not only enhance self-perception but also improve athletic performance. 

We discuss practical strategies for navigating “bad body image” days, turning emotions like frustration or jealousy into tools for growth, and building a collaborative, empowering relationship with your body.

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or simply interested in fostering a healthier connection to yourself, this episode offers actionable insights for you to try.

We also delve into how mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can integrate into the BodySelf framework to support mental health in sports.

Tune in to discover how you can use these tools to strengthen your mental toughness, embrace your unique athletic journey, and thrive—inside and outside of competition.
