Aly Raisman: Thirty, Single & Thriving

Join Alex in the studio for an interview with Aly Raisman. Aly
opens up about her childhood and how she struggled to feel
confident in high school. She talks about trying to hide
her muscles from the boys and feeling insecure about how she
looked during school. Aly reveals that her peers had no idea how
talented she was until they saw her compete in the London
Olympics and why she feels women often have to downplay their
success to fit in. Aly also speaks about the darker side of the
sport and how her rigorous training brought on issues with body
image, medical conditions, anxiety, and people pleasing
tendencies. Then, Aly talks dating at 30. She gets real about the
pressure placed on women to be in a relationship by a certain
time, how comparing yourself doesn’t get you anywhere, why she’s
over dating professional athletes, and how to know if you should
go on a second date with someone. Daddy Gang, this episode is
empowering and Aly is full of wisdom plus amazing advice. Enjoy!
