Dr. Krista Austin is a woman you want on your team.  A sport scientist, currently serving as a performance specialist for professional and Olympic sport athletes, Krista has spent her career studying and coaching elite athletes for peak performance.  A large part of her body of work is focused on mental health in pro sports, but you don't have to be a professional athlete to benefit from Krista's experience. 

On this episode, we discuss many of the key areas that impact a woman's mental health including body image, financial strain as well as professional stress.  Krista shares stories of how she has coached female athletes through personal and professional highs and lows, helping them find or regain their confidence.   During our discussion Krista shares ways we can improve our mental health, tips for finding a psychologist, how our friends impact our success in life and why, now more than ever we need to raise a red flags when we're struggling emotionally.  Her advice is applicable to any woman, pro athlete or not, and is especially timely as we face the impact of a global pandemic.
