S2E21. Lucy Davis: The Price of Extraord...

Cassia Tierney Clarke
About this episode

A real honour to be joined by athlete, ultra marathon runner and businesswoman - Lucy Davis - on today’s episode. 


I’m so proud and feel very privileged that Lucy felt 9 Lives was a safe enough environment to open up about the impact of competing and participating in multiple endurance sporting events has had on her self esteem over the years. We discuss her life growing up as a swimmer and gymnast as well as her experience recovering from an eating disorder in her early twenties. 


Lucy is nothing short of extraordinary in her endeavours but her daily anxieties and worries are extremely ordinary. We talked about finding peace among your people, recognising when it’s time to pause and how exhausting it can be existing in your masculine energy in so many areas of your life. 


I hope you can all take something away from this episode that encourages you to be kind to yourself and to relieve the pressure. 


Love always

Cass xx
