In this episode Natalie discusses what she would have done differently when she first started dealing with mental health issues as a teenager competing around the world in snowboarding. She discusses why we shouldn’t beat ourselves up for how we dealt with things, because a lot of this has to due with the stigma of mental health, especially in sports and with athletes, as well as the lack of education around it. Natalie also provides advice for those looking to support other athletes, themselves, and create change around how mental health is dealt with and talked about in sports.
