Outside The Lines: Ep 11 - Pasifika Sportswomen, Eating Disorders and Body Image

“I would be standing on scales eight times a day, before and after every meal and my happiness was dependent on whatever the scale said to me….I just always felt like I had to lose weight…… I got to a point where I finally felt like I fit this netball aesthetic but behind the scenes, I didn’t realise my body was shutting down.” - Maia Wilson, Silver Ferns Shooter

Silver Ferns Maia Wilson and Former Rugby Player Sene Naoupu share their struggles as Pasifika sportswoman and the pressures of being a certain weight and having a certain look, they also openly discuss the dark side of falling into patterns of behaviour that without realising; can take a life of its own.
