In this deeply moving and inspiring episode of At Your Best With Roselynn Onah, Roselynn is joined by Ivy Watts, a former All-American student-athlete and Top 30 NCAA Woman of the Year finalist, who shares her powerful journey from silently battling anxiety and depression to becoming a passionate advocate for mental health.

Despite the pressure to appear perfect on the outside, Ivy opens up about the turning point that led her to therapy and ultimately to reclaiming her power through storytelling, self-care, and radical self-love. 💛

What We Talk About:

• The moment Ivy knew it was time to get help—and how a teammate’s vulnerability changed everything.

• The invisible weight of perfectionism and high performance, especially for women of color.

• How therapy helped Ivy unpack years of suppressed emotion, reconnect with her worth, and start healing.

• Why talking is more than just venting—and how a trained therapist helps reframe your story.

• What real self-love looks like (spoiler: it’s not about being positive all the time).

• Ivy’s favorite self-compassion rituals, including her healing bingo board and celebration practices.

• The story behind her book You Are Worth Fighting For—a tribute to her mom, legacy, and life lessons.

• Advice for high-achievers who look like they have it all together but are struggling inside.
  

Tools + Takeaways:

• Self-love = compassion + consistency. Affirmations matter, but so does allowing yourself to feel hard emotions without shame.

• Celebrate yourself daily. Whether it’s eating lunch or surviving a tough conversation, give yourself credit with a ritual that feels good.

• Healing isn’t linear. There’s no timeline. Create practices before things fall apart to stay grounded on hard days.

• Gratitude Shift: “I have to” becomes “I get to.” That small mindset shift can be game-changing on low days.
  

Ivy's Book:

“You Are Worth Fighting For”12 heartfelt chapters inspired by her mother’s life lessons—each filled with Ivy’s reflections on mental wellness and how to choose yourself, every single day.

Until next time:Stay grounded. Stay resilient. And always remember—you’re worth fighting for.

In this episode of At Your Best with Roselynn Onah, we're talking about something so many of us struggle with—how to self-reflect without falling into a shame spiral or becoming our own worst critic.

You know what I’m talking about—those moments when you're replaying a mistake over and over again, spiraling into "why did I do that" or "what’s wrong with me?" This episode is all about finding that balance between honest self-reflection and radical self-compassion.

Here’s what we dive into:

• The difference between healthy self-reflection and toxic over-analysis
• How to avoid "rabbit hole syndrome" when you're trying to grow
• Creating sustainable practices like five-minute reflection windows
• How to talk to yourself like you would your best friend (seriously—try it)
• Baby steps to overcome analysis paralysis when even a grocery list feels overwhelming

💬 Real Talk Moment: Over-analyzing is often a strength in disguise. You think deeply. You notice the details. You care. But it can also stop you from taking action. Let’s tweak the habit, not trash it.

• Overwhelm often stems from over analyzing—baby steps help break the cycle.
• Tools like gratitude journaling or breaking tasks into micro steps (hello, Goblin Tools!) can really help.

Note to Self

• Rest is productive. You don’t have to burn out to prove your worth.
