Victoria Garrick—mental health advocate, the host of “Real Pod” podcast, and former D1 athlete with more than 1.5M followers—is back on the show this week. Victoria hasn't been on the show since December 2020, so there's obvi a lot to catch up on. Victoria tells Aleen why she’s not shedding for the wedding (she was also on Betches Brides recently—check it out) and then they chat about Victoria’s “alternate reality” videos, where women actually celebrate their body insecurities. Next, Victoria tells us what it was like to be a collegiate Volleyball player, who was struggling from mental health challenges and how that experience has helped her to love her body for what it is, and not what it could be. Victoria then tells Aleen about her non-profit, The Hidden Opponent, which raises awareness for student-athlete mental health and aims to end the mental health stigma in sports culture. The episode wraps up with Victoria confessing something that she doesn’t share on social media. Get excited, Victoria's coming back again this week for DST Thursday.
