How Being an Athlete Affects Your Relationship With Your Body with Emily Newton

#121. On this week’s guest episode of the podcast, Carolina had the pleasure of speaking with host of The Balanced Factor podcast, Emily Newton. Emily is a translational researcher and mental health advocate, aiming to be a voice for others who are struggling and at the same time encouraging them to be their true, authentic selves. She created her brand balanced factor to bridge the gap in knowledge translation to help people better their health and live a more balanced life. In today’s conversation, they dove into her own personal journey, how her relationship with her body evolved throughout her life as an athlete, what being in the competitive sports world taught her, what balance means to her, the importance of trusting your instincts and knowing when it is time to move on, and seeking help when you need it. This episode will help guide you toward finding more balance in your life!
