Very important for people recovering from eating disorders or any issues to

understand that doesn't mean you're not a winner that doesn't mean you didn't

recover that doesn't mean you're not doing something right it just means you're human and

something has affected you in your life and you might have a thought come up you might give into a

thought once or twice but like that's a part of being human, and if it's not eating, if it's depression or anxiety, like I went through depression and I went on meds and I had to do all this work and then I got out of it and I'm much happier now but I still have sad weeks that's not failure

that's just the reality of mental health you know yeah

now let the magic begin.

Hello, Hello Jemma, J. Miami's, it's Rakelle, and this episode. This episode was so fun, it's so special, especially since it's with a fellow USC alumni,

Fight on.

This is with Victoria Garrick, who is a Force of Nature, Mar I say, and she's a voice for body image advocacy and the

mental health space.

And at USC, she was a Division I volleyball player and now raises awareness on the many

pressures athletes face through her non-profit advocacy group, the hidden opponent, which, by the way, partnered with and supported by the

late legend, Kobe Bryant.

Legend, indeed. And Victoria and Victoria is also known for her TED Talk her podcast real pod and she just

has an awesome super real social media presence that I love as she helps

people embrace their authentic self and love their bodies and develop a healthy

relationship with food and she's just so positive and I love

her optimism but also so real you know I have chills right now talking about it but she's moved me in many ways and so I was

excited to have her on and I'm drawn to Victoria as well because I love having

people on that are really thriving and living their magic, living their own magic,

by being so open and vulnerable with their messaging and seek to shake things up a bit, you know, as we make changes
