EP #32 Learning life lessons as an injured athlete

In this episode I was joined by one of my best friends @Daniellelw to chat about the life lessons we have learned through injury (especially through some recent major setbacks this season) and how we have grown through tough times and what we would do differently moving forward. We talked about the importance of having a period as a female athlete, rest & recovery, the damage of overtraining and learning to listen to your body among many more lessons we have learnt through making our own mistakes. Disclaimer: If talking about disordered eating upsets you, you may want to miss this one.
