MISS TEA MAVEN Special Guest! - 072 - Recovering from Injury, Mindset, and Stopping Stigma

We have a special guest this week!! Miss Tea Maven is an all star jammer who skates for Gotham Girls Roller Derby. She sustained a serious knee injury earlier this year and is on the journey of getting stronger and coming back BETTER than ever. She gives a great perspective on your mindset while injured and ways to help your team and stay engaged from the sidelines. This episode was recorded immediately after the Saturday night game at the 2019 WFTDA International Championship in Montreal, Gotham vs VRDL where Gotham emerged victorious in a close, exciting match up! We also talk about her personal mission to stop the public stigma of living with mental illness and bring awareness by encouraging others to keep talking.  Miss Tea Maven is an all around great person (and pretty funny too!). It would be wise to share this episode with anyone you think might need a listen. Photo by David Dyte ***Don't forget to send in your thoughts for our special Thanksgiving episode!
