33. Fitness, Confidence & Healing Your Mind

About this episode

Maya and guest Sierra discuss the impact of competitive sports on women's mental and emotional health, including topics like fitness, confidence, and eating disorders.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion around eating disorders. This week on Mom Dump , I’m joined by Sierra, founder of Indie Sea Wellness, for a real and honest conversation that goes way beyond the surface. We dive into the world of competitive sports and how it shapes you. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. We talk about the duality of competition and sisterhood… how women can feel both deeply supportive and quietly competitive at the same time. Sierra shares her perspective on the power of Pilates and fitness, not just for your body, but for your mindset and confidence. We also get into the importance of shifting your mindset as you grow, evolve, and redefine what strength looks like. We also touch on eating disorders and the complexities surrounding them. This episode is honest, layered, and one so many women will relate to.
