My secret and untold journey as an athlete.

Send us a text

Ever met a fluffy little girl who could lift more than your average gym-goer? Our guest for today is no other than such a powerhouse. Beginning her journey amidst confusion and societal stereotypes, she found solace and ultimately, a passion in powerlifting and weightlifting, often seen as a male-dominated sport. Her story, laden with tales of maintaining weight categories, and the harsh reality of disqualification for mere grams, resonates with fellow athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

We all know there's no gain without a bit of pain. Our conversation today unearths the less glamorous side of being a fitness enthusiast. While you might envy the perks like multiple gym access, free memberships, and sports massages, the toll it takes on the body is substantial. Listen in as we discuss a journey plagued with injuries carried on the shoulder and a knee that snapped. A shift towards CrossFit, a fine blend of weightlifting and cardio, marked a notable phase in the quest for overall fitness.

Then we touch upon topics that are heavy, both metaphorically and literally. An unfortunate encounter with sexual assault and the subsequent recovery process is a part of the narrative we delve into today. Alongside this, we also celebrate the little victories like current lifting achievements and the joys of comedy and improvisation skills. So come, join in, share your lifting stories and let's create a space to engage, discuss, and grow together.
