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

Sparta Chicks Radio: Mindset | Confidence | Sport | Women

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.

Get the full show notes for the episode here.
