Episode 8: Body Changes, Self-Love, and the Journey of a Former Athlete
Episode Summary: This episode dives deep into the challenges faced by retired athletes as they navigate the often-difficult terrain of body changes. It's a candid conversation about the pressures to maintain an "athlete body," the emotional and mental toll of these changes, and the importance of self-compassion. We explore practical strategies for managing these transitions, including:
Redefining Health: Shifting from a performance-based definition to a holistic approach encompassing mental and emotional well-being.
Intuitive Eating: Learning to listen to your body's cues and nourish it intuitively, rather than adhering to rigid diets.

The importance of recognizing that an "athlete body" is not a sustainable norm.
