Listen "Sophie Ward - Swimming Mindset & Lyme"
Episode Synopsis
New episode! I can't tell you how strange it was not having a guest but I put a question out onto Instagram what would you like me to do my podcast on? So many came back to me wanting to know how I have used my swimming mindset to deal with my Lyme Disease battle. So, here we are. I get a bit emotional in parts, as it is a tough journey when it comes to Lyme Disease but also often talking about my past brings back lots of red flags. We see certain traits as massive positives and often they are but when they go to the extreme they can have a negative affect. My swimming days are upsetting and raw to me, in lots of different ways. Often ways I don't realise. In recent years I have run away from all emotions linked to swimming but often forget to give my time in the pool credit for the strong person I have grown into today. I know hand on my heart if I hadn't of been an athlete back in the day I probably would have allowed my Lyme to make me bedridden and defeat me. My discipline, drive and ambition has made me determined to keep 'living' and fighting. I talk about the importance of routine, setting goals, the drive never to give up and pain thresholds. This episode was harder for me than I thought it would have been, so I am so sorry for the emotional break down mid-way. I am only human though and this podcast wouldn't be 'real' if I wasn't open and honest with you all. I hope you enjoy, I hope you feel inspired and find comfort in my journey. Watch out on my Instagram to have YOUR SAY on what you want me to discuss next! Leave your comments and feedback, I love to hear from you. ENJOY!
