Managing Anxiety in Sport with Therapist Sara Davis [RERELEASE]

Everyone has a story, and Sara Davis's story is pretty remarkable.  At 17 years old, Sara watched her sister battle a severe eating disorder, and then take her own life. When Sara went to college, she used alcohol and drugs to avoid feelings and grief. In 2006, months after her father passed away from a heart attack, Sara decided to get sober and found meaning in helping others. This is also when she found triathlon. Sara shares her story in the first half of the podcast and then in the second half, we talk about mindset, negative and positive self talk, how to break out of the anxious "what ifs," and finding the balance between the emotional brain and logical brain.  The book mentioned: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Amelia and Emily Nagoski Sara's charity: https://www.myedin.org https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/sara-davis-alpharetta-ga/262701
