Aly Raisman on Learning to Heal and the Power of Authenticity

Six-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman first captivated the world with her incredible floor routines, grit, and grace both times she competed in the Olympics. And she riveted the world again—this time with her vulnerability and bravery—when she courageously shared her story as a survivor of sexual abuse. Inspired by an army of survivors, Aly continues to advocate for systematic changes within the sport of gymnastics and the eradication of sexual abuse. Now retired from gymnastics, Aly is passionate about normalizing the conversation around mental health and encouraging positive body image with partners such as Aerie.In this conversation with Daniella, Aly opens up about her dedication to mental health, explains why it was important for her to try out different therapists before settling on one, and talks about ways she decompresses after a particularly challenging session. She also talked about her approach to business – and how she’s motivated to work with partners and organizations who share the same mission and values.Visit www.wondermind.com for more mental fitness content.Follow Aly Raisman on Instagram @alyraismanView a full transcript of this episode here: bit.ly/3EJ4C8dTell us at Wondermind more about your podcast interests: https://tjlpm217hr1.typeform.com/to/R5hllccO Hosted on Acast.
