Am I worthy of love if I don't perform? A deep dive into identity, performance and body image with Sally Shokry - Shot put and discus QUEEN

A decorated junior athlete now pushing her way into the senior ranks. Sally Shokry is a discus and shot put athlete, chiropractor, and academic who has represented Australia on the international stage since she was a teenager — and spent most of that time convincing herself she was only as good as her last throw.In this episode, Sally opens up about growing up tying her entire sense of worth to performance, how sport became a shield against insecurity, and what happens when that shield starts to crack. We talk about the moment she won her spot at the Youth Olympics by two centimetres, what it really means to put on the green and gold, and how the same identity struggles that showed up on the track followed her all the way into the clinic.This is a really honest conversation about learning to love the space you take up — in sport, in life, and in yourself.
