Victoria Garrick Browne: Athlete to Advocate

This week, Tay is sitting down for a girl-talk solo episode with former Division I athlete and mental health advocate Victoria Garrick Browne! Victoria opens up about her experiences with mental health as a student-athlete and reflects on how the high pressures of sports can affect mental well-being. She shares invaluable advice for student-athletes on maintaining a healthy headspace and delves into her personal journey with body image and eating disorder recovery. Victoria also discusses the inspiration behind her #RealPost movement and the importance of not comparing your life to others on social media. She talks about her nonprofit organization, The Hidden Opponent, which was recognized as a standout resource for athletes by Kobe Bryant in his novel, Geese Are Never Swans. To wrap up, Victoria shares which crucial steps are needed to make mental health resources more accessible for athletes! Be sure to find Victoria Garrick Browne on Instagram @victoriabrowne!
