WERE BACK! And we have the pleasure of introducing EP 37 with former bikini competitor, Nutritionist, CBT therapist and one half of @theflourishing.society Charlotte Pickstock @charlypfit.
We’re entering the latter end of the competitive year and with that comes a lot of challenges that a lot of competitors will undoubtedly face, so it was an invaluable opportunity to get Charly on to discuss not only her own experiences and the work she’s currently doing with competitors.
In this episode we cover
- Charly’s competing journey, her history in the sport and what contributed to her decision to step away from stage;
- The Flourishing Society; what motivated you to create this community and what support they provide;
- Common issues which arise for her clients and how common are these in the industry right now?
- How can an athlete separate what is “normal”, post show struggles versus those that are more chronic and may require more intensive support;
- Red flags when it comes to someone’s relationship with food and their body, steps you can take to overcome these;
- Is it possible to address issues surrounding bodybuilding and relationships and return to stage?
- Addressing your identity beyond bodybuilding; struggles people face and how to overcome them;
- Others opinions, the community and the message which is being received externally and impact that has on post show, stepping away from stage;
- Coaching and client responsibilities to manage an athletes exposure to the sport and their journey from start to finish;
And so much more.
This conversation really brought home the importance of addressing and supporting an athletes experience in the sport beyond just the physique.
We hope you loved this just as much as we did.
