TW: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault. While
figure skater Gracie Gold was capturing America’s heart in the 2014
Sochi Olympics, her new not-so-fluffy sports
memoir, Outofshapeworthlessloser, reveals that her life behind
the scenes was more dark comedy than cookie cutter. Gracie has
always been candid about her mental health struggles, which is why
Vic has always been a big admirer of hers as a female athlete, and
this episode is no exception. Gracie vulnerably reveals new details
from her life, opening up about her father’s affair and addiction,
surviving sexual assault, and being a “failed anorexic.” Gracie and
Vic discuss the stigma women face around sexual assault, the
pressures of competitive sports, navigating a culture and
profession that glamorizes thinness and perfectionism, and you’ll
hear Gracie’s plans for her future in ice skating! Tune in for all
the details and check out Gracie’s memoir, the most interesting
life story Vic has ever read, for a closer look into Gracie’s
journey to finding peace and acceptance.
