“When I lost my hair, I lost my identity” - England Rugby player Heather Fisher on overcoming alopecia and a life changing injury
Should I Delete That?Show Notes
Today’s episode is all about finding your purpose and redefining your identity.
Heather Fisher - aka Fish - is a retired England rugby player. She was part of two Women’s Rugby World Cup teams, she represented Team GB at the 2016 Rio Olympics and if that’s not enough she also represented Team GB in bobsleigh!
This woman has had an incredible sporting career - but she has also faced and overcome numerous challenges which made her question her identity and purpose. After overcoming an eating disorder at a young age, Fish broke her back and subsequently lost her hair due to alopecia.
We spoke about what drives her to overcome life’s challenges, how she has found her feet after retiring and how she finds the balance of being a strong role model, but also accepting her vulnerability.
