S4 Ep17: Life Beyond the Podium, Post Goal Blues, Identity Crisis, and Strategies for Emotional Recovery

Ever felt like you've been hit with a wave of emptiness after stepping off stage, finishing a race or reaching some other milestone? You're not alone. Tina and Kara, as we unpack the emotional aftermath of some of life's big achievements. This episode isn't just about athletic pursuits; it's about the interplay between our personal lives, professional worlds, and the physical trials we endure. 

Life after stepping on stage or crossing the finish line can be more daunting than the pursuit of and the event itself. Athletes and non-athletes alike can relate to the post-goal blues and the quest for identity beyond our accomplishments. Kara and I explore the challenges of post-competition transition, from the physiological to the psychological, and offer compassionate strategies for self-care and maintaining mental health. We get real about the pressure of social media on body image and self-perception, advocating for authenticity and a measured approach to sharing our journeys online. Listen in for a heartfelt discussion on navigating life's highs and lows with grace.

Wrapping up, we dive into the value of a trusted coach through life's hurdles. Whether it's sports, career, or personal growth, having guidance can illuminate your path to recovery and resilience. We emphasize that while it's natural to encounter tough times, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. So settle in with us for an episode filled with humor, vulnerability, and the unfiltered wisdom that comes from experience. You might just find the camaraderie and support you didn't know you needed.

Don't get weird, use your head, it'll all be OK!
