About this listen
Episode Title: Life After the Game – Mental Health, Body Image & the Athlete Identity
In this episode, we tackle a powerful and often unspoken challenge faced by many former athletes: the mental health and body image struggles that can emerge after stepping away from competitive sports. I dive into how the transition out of peak physical condition can impact self-worth, and how social media often fuels body dysmorphia by promoting unrealistic expectations and idealized identities. We’ll also look at real perspectives from online communities and how digital personas can both reflect and reinforce these struggles.
This conversation is for anyone navigating life after sport—and trying to find peace in a new version of themselves.
