Breaking Her Silence: D1 Gymnast Gracie ...

Dear Media
About this episode

Gracie Kramer, former D1 UCLA gymnast and national champion who famously scored a perfect 10 her senior year, joins Victoria to share what was really going on behind the scenes. For the first time publicly, Gracie bravely opens up about her eating disorder and the silent struggles that came with the pressure to be perfect. She reveals what it was like to perform in a leotard on her worst body image days, the mental toll of being a college athlete, and how she worked to unlearn harmful habits and rebuild a healthy relationship with food, her body, and herself. Gracie and Victoria also get candid about navigating beauty standards as content creators, the pressure to have the “Instagram face,” and why they’ve chosen to opt out in order to show up authentically. If you’ve ever struggled with food, body image, or are craving more safe spaces for individuality and vulnerability, this episode is for you.
