What does it take to be a successful athlete when you have a voice inside of your head telling you that you are not good enough?

Dawn first met Steffie at a talk she was doing up in Buckie, Scotland. She didn't know it, but Steffie had already read her book and turned up to learn more. At that stage she was Scotland Strongest woman, but wasn't able to enjoy her success because she was still just surviving.

In this episode they talk about what it took to reach out to Dawn and what difference it made to her strongwoman journey to work with a therapist.

They also explore the concept of performance coaching in sports and why Strongwoman doesn't get the same coverage as the men's competitions.

Steffie is a competitive strongwoman from Buckie, Scotland, and is the reigning Scottish and British Champion.

A survivor of rape, bullying, and severe depression, she found purpose and power through strength sports — and hasn’t looked back since.

Since starting in 2019, Steffie has built a reputation for raw grit and honesty, both on the platform and off. She speaks openly about mental health and trauma, breaking stigma and showing that real strength goes far beyond what you can lift.

Steffie's next goal- World's Strongest Woman!
