In today's episode I sat down with Whitney Otto who is a seasoned executive coach and facilitator who has worked with groups and individuals for more than twenty years. Whitney is also an author, podcast host, mom of two kids, and a former US world rowing champion.In this conversation, we discuss all things body image including:
- How negative body image often stems from past experiences, unmet needs, and societal conditioning.
- How athletes (and anyone with a body) can prepare for bad body image moments and turn those into opportunities for mental toughness.
- The societal pressures and how injuries also play a role in competitive environments and shape body image issues for women.
- Practical strategies that not only female athletes but anyone who has a body can adopt to build a collaborative and empowering relationship with their bodies.
