“It's okay to not be okay” Sidney Spencer Marlborough

Sidney Spencer Marlborough “Epigenetics of mental health disorders including eating disorders and addictions”. She answers just that on PHIT for a Queen podcast:

1. Cindy said the only way to describe retirement on a sport was almost like the loss of a lifelong friend
   Sydney stated that she had to give herself Grace to deal with the wave emotions in the length of time it took for her to accept retirement
   The woman I am today was because of the values I learned in sport
   Sports help create a natural leadership ability
   Husband was a great support system when Sydney felt like she had no purpose he simply said just put one foot in front of the other
   What comes out of challenging situations can be very rewarding
   During transition, it's important for athletes to know what resources are available and encourage use of those
