Victoria Garrick - Former Div I Volleyball Player, Body Positivity & Binge Eating Advocate, TED Talk Speaker.
Today's guest is Victoria Garrick. Victoria is a former Division I Volleyball Player, TED Talk Speaker, Social Media Influencer, and Mental Health Advocate. Since delivering her TED Talk in 2017, Victoria has become a leader in the mental health and body-image advocacy space.
After graduating from the University of Southern California in 2019, Victoria has traveled the country speaking on college campuses, hosts her hit podcast Real Pod, and creates daily content for her army of over 1.0M+ people who follow her message of authenticity and self-care on social media.
I personally really admire the work that she’s doing in particular around body image. I released an episode talking about my struggles with a past eating disorder, so it’s been really refreshing seeing her positive content out there on my feeds.
In this episode, we chat about her crazy schedule of being a college athlete and how she learned to deal with the stress, her struggles with binge eating and opening up about anxiety and depression, how she deals with expectations of having to be real all the time, and productivity tips she has as a young female entrepreneur.
