Ep. 403: The Emotional Fallout of an Injury - a podcast by Danny-J Johnson & Jill Coleman
from 2023-11-29T19:06:14.879570
As former athletes and fitness professionals—and hell, just as women in general—it’s easy to tie our identities and self-worth to our bodies. But as we all know, bodies are constantly changing and sometimes those changes are well out of our control, due to illness or injury. When your core identity (or worse—your income) is wrapped up in what your body looks like or does, it can send you spiraling. Trust us, we’ve been there. As shitty as it is, an injury or illness might be exactly the thing you need to teach you acceptance, patience, and show you that you’re so much more than your body.
