#160: Jamie Mittelman on Mental Health & the Power of Women’s Stories

Jamie Mittelman is the host of my new favourite podcast - Flame Bearers: The Women Athletes Carrying Tokyo's Torch . The podcast celebrates the journeys of unsung women Olympians & Paralympians. And she joins me on Sparta Chicks Radio this week! We discuss: - the role sport and outdoor activities played in her family growing up, - sport as a mental health tool, - her struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) particularly during College and how it affected her love of soccer, - where the idea for the podcast came from and why it’s so important, - the episodes that have left a lasting impression on her, - some of the common lessons or themes her guests have shared, and - why she feels “athletically unqualified” to host the podcast and her experience with the Imposter Complex.
