In this podcast episode, Promly hosts Victoria Garrick, a University of Southern California (USC) graduate and former DI women’s volleyball star. In her 2017 Ted Talk, The Hidden Opponent, Victoria started to share her mental health story and now has a platform that advocates for mental health awareness in the athletic world. Additionally, she is an advocate for healthy lifestyle choices, such as intuitive eating, and uses her social medias to promote the most authentic version of herself encouraging others as well to be real, patient, and accepting of themselves.
