Annie Thorisdottir has stood on the CrossFit Games podium six times and built a career as one of the most recognizable and respected athletes in the world. But some of the most defining moments of her life happened far from the competition floor.
In this episode, Annie opens up about the raw and disorienting experience of seeing herself just days postpartum and not recognizing the woman in the mirror. That moment became part of a much bigger story — one not just about winning, but about identity, resilience, recovery, motherhood, and learning how to rebuild on the other side of elite sports.
Annie shares:
why she waited years to write a book
what her sports psychologist taught her about the “neutral zone,”
why setbacks often became her most reliable path forward.
the cultural shift needed around postpartum recovery and how she is now channeling what she's learned into programming that helps women work with their bodies
