I Give You Permission with Vanessa Atler, Part 2, S2E2
Vanessa Atler, US National Champion, World Team member, and Goodwill Games gold medalist, is authentic, bubbly, and humble. She is also determined to follow her heart and care for the kids she coaches and teach them how to use self-compassion and mental health skills for life.
Vanessa talks about her own healing process with self-compassion, seeing a dietician, and learning to overcome the big emotions she felt growing up in gymnastics. She is also inspired by her dad and how he influences her to keep learning new things and be the best person she can be. Finally, she discusses how she is using the Resilience curriculum (by Zen Tiger Mind) with her team - Vanessa says it's helping her too! They practice short exercises together to build inner strength, clarity, and self-awareness. Some of the kids are resisting, which is normal, and Vanessa is opening up to them with patience and teaching the kids patience. What she's most excited about is showing them how much she loves them and helping them to grow up to be happy adults.
Vanessa is eager to do this good work for herself and the kids, and she encourages everyone to buy Resilience and practice mental health exercises for sports and life.
