Olympian Gracie Gold on Surviving Trauma, Family Secrets & The Pressures of Competitive Figure Skating Feb 07, 2024

TW: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault.

While figure skater Gracie Gold was capturing America’s heart in the 2014 Sochi Olympics, her new not-so-fluffy sports memoir, Outofshapeworthlessloser, reveals that her life behind the scenes was more dark comedy than cookie cutter. Gracie has always been candid about her mental health struggles, which is why Vic has always been a big admirer of hers as a female athlete, and this episode is no exception. Gracie vulnerably reveals new details from her life, opening up about her father’s affair and addiction, surviving sexual assault, and being a “failed anorexic.” Gracie and Vic discuss the stigma women face around sexual assault, the pressures of competitive sports, navigating a culture and profession that glamorizes thinness and perfectionism, and you’ll hear Gracie’s plans for her future in ice skating! Tune in for all the details and check out Gracie’s memoir, the most interesting life story Vic has ever read, for a closer look into Gracie’s journey to finding peace and acceptance.

Allisen Corpuz is an American professional golfer and member of the LPGA Tour. She won the 2023 U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach, but before that, she was a student-athlete at the University of Southern California (just like Vic!) on the USC Women's Golf team. In today’s conversation, Vic and Allisen talk candidly about the moments in their sports careers where they almost walked away, and what it took for Allisen to move past her doubts and fears to achieve her dream of becoming a title-winning professional golfer. They also get real about the mental work and mindset shifts required to compete at that level and beyond, and how she gracefully deals with stress and pressure. Allisen’s outlook is not only inspiring but impressive, highlighting how putting in consistent work (she’s played golf for 17 years!) is just one piece of finding success as a professional athlete. Whether you want to be best in your craft like Allisen, are grappling with the fear of not being good enough, or simply want to be able to show up at an elite level in life, she’s sharing her recipe for success in this episode.
