To celebrate the buzz of the Paris 2024 Olympics I’m joined in this episode by ex-professional athlete Danielle Reedy chatting all about her road to the Rio 2016 Olympics, and how her journey to get there was one of learning to overcome self-doubt and understanding your inner critic. So many women lack belief in their ability and worth, resulting in them holding themselves back, only to hold onto these regrets, often throughout their lifetime. Danielle shares her journey of building self-worth and confidence, culminating in her experience as an Olympian, where she competed as a synchronised swimmer. She discusses the importance of reframing challenges and choosing the hard path that aligns with your values, and why faking it until you make it isn’t such a bad thing! The highlights of our conversation are: Hearing Danielle’s story from a little girl age 8 swimming in her local pool to elite athlete at the 2016 Olympics. How Danielle tackled the inner noise and self-doubt she had around her ability and right to be selected for the Australian swimming team. The importance of being true to yourself and why this approach will lead to greater confidence and fulfilment. Inspiring you to know that overcoming self-doubt and pursuing your dreams is possible for anyone. Reframe challenges and choosing the hard path that aligns with your values. How building self-worth is a daily practice that involves taking uncomfortable actions and engaging in self-reflection. Surrounding yourself with a supportive community that believes in you for your own growth journey. Focusing on the journey and personal growth rather than the outcome. Danielle’s 3 simple steps to get started with growing your self-worth and confidence. About Danielle: Danielle Reedy (she/her) is an Olympian, Speaker, Coach, Author and Podcast Host.
