The Silent Battle: An Elite Athlete's Battle with an Eating Disorder-- Kamila Tan

Mar 14, 2019

This week we discuss a very serious topic on the podcast. I have a deep and intimate chat with former UCLA beach volleyball standout: Kamila Tan. She is a pioneer in the collegiate beach volleyball world and now hopes to become a pioneer in advocating for bringing awareness to the sporting world about the taboo subject of eating disorders. This San Diego native has had an incredible career in the sand at UCLA and has many awards to back it up. This episode is not only for female athletes but also for all women who struggle with body image, disordered eating, self-confidence and anxiety. Please share this with the girls and women in your life because you may be helping save a life as Kamila hopes to do through sharing her journey.

 
In this episode we discuss:

• Kamila's personal journey with an Eating Disorder
• Why Eating Disorders are so prevalent in athletics
• The negative stigma surrounding eating disorders
• Finding meaning in her life through her recovery
