Triumph in the athletic world is often an iceberg, with the peak of success visible to the public, yet the submerged mass—comprising unseen struggles and relentless effort—remains concealed. In this episode, Tina and client-guest host Kara, peel back the glossy veneer of before and after pictures and question the portrayal of women in the media, all while challenging the authenticity that diet culture claims to offer.

We share the behind-the-scenes reality of success, revealing the silent battles and the invisible toll of intense competition prep on athletes. This conversation is a stark reminder of the emotional and physical sacrifices that underpin the glossy images of perfection, and it highlights the strength of character required to navigate these demanding paths.

We unpack the fallacy of balance within the extreme realms of competitive sports and the unvarnished truth of off-season struggles, the importance of coaching, and the liberating power of body acceptance .

Don't get weird, use your head, it'll all be OK!
