Anika Dy - Turning Pain into Purpose - Former University of Michigan Women’s Golfer
from Playing Through · host Jillian Barend
This week, I interviewed Anika Dy, who is a former University of Michigan women’s golfer. Anika competed at one of the highest levels of college golf, being in the Big 10 conference; however, her road to success was not always smooth sailing. As she talks about in our interview, Anika went through bouts of anxiety and depression that eventually led her to take a step away from the sport she loved to focus on her own mental wellbeing.We discuss everything about her journey from seeking help for the first time to making the transition back to college and every lesson she learned along the way. Anika’s vulnerability in sharing her story is truly remarkable, and I know that anyone listening will be able to take something away from this episode.
