Do you identify with this statement? I am an athlete. If you said “No,” after listening to this episode, you might change your answer. Especially if you’re a woman. 💪
Dr. Amy O’Hana, licensed professional counselor and Assistant Professor, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, at University of Western States, joins Mike and Helena to discuss women’s athletic performance. This episode is NOT just for women, the concepts are for everyone.
In this episode:
🎙️Athletic identity and identifying as an athlete
🎙️Blocks to taking on the identity of an athlete
🎙️The role the evolution of identity and values play and how they can help or hinder your goals
🎙️The inspiring work of Dr. Stacy Sims (a must read for all active women!)
🎙️Dr. Amy digs into Helena’s psyche 🧠 around her athletic identity as a dancer and the reason why Helena runs (Hint: It has to do with the movie 📽️Terminator 2 🤖)
🎙️The difference between disordered eating and eating disorders
🎙️Dr. Amy’s definition of disordered eating (Helena LOVES!)
🎙️”Normal” is a myth when it comes to food 🥗 and dietary patterns, because food is so subjective, context-driven and culturally dependent
🎙️The Female Triad: Disordered eating, loss of a menstrual cycle, loss of bone mineral density
