You can’t be what you can’t see. So Maymah became the athlete she
never saw growing up. Maymah started going to the gym because she
was bored waiting to start university. But then she fell in love
with it. It empowered her to rebuild her relationship with food and
movement after years spent battling anorexia. Now she’s a Gymshark
athlete. Trigger warning: in this episode Maymah opens up about her
experience of an eating disorder. If this conversation brings
anything up for you, there is support available: The Butterfly
Foundation is Australia’s national charity for people impacted by
eating disorders and body image issues. Free & confidential
support is available at 1800 33 4673 between 8am – midnight In the
episode Maymah speaks with Steph & Laura about her eating
disorder and how a crisis meeting with her school and mum brought
her out of it, the anxiety she felt stepping into a gym wearing a
headscarf for the first time, how she trains during Ramadan when
she can’t eat or drink between sunrise and sunset, and becoming a
role model for Muslim women in fitness. FOLLOW US Maymah
