Guys I know I get excited about every single guest we’re lucky to have on the show, but this week’s is particularly special for so many reasons

-      we’ve all had Matilda’s fever

-      before we even get to the Tilly’s, this guest's journey is absolutely incredible

-      she’s basically Ang’s ultimate idol so Ang actually joined in on this interview

-      and she has barely done any other interviews and we are SO grateful that she said yes to the yayborhood because this is genuinely one of my favourite episodes in a long time!

In fact, we enjoyed it so much and it was so jam packed with pearls of wisdom that we went longer than usual AND are coming back for part two because there’s so much more we wanted to cover. I can’t quite believe we’re saying this but we are thrilled to welcome to seize the yay, the Matilda’s team doctor, Dr Brandi Cole.

She tells the story best herself so I won’t go on too long in this intro but just quickly, there are few things Dr Brandi hasn’t excelled in! Early in life, she began as an athlete herself being the former captain of the Australian Women’s Oztag team, playing both touch and hockey for NSW in the past and being an Australian and World gold medalist in beach sprint relay in Surf Life Saving. She then did her undergrad in Physio at Sydney Uni in 2003, which is enough for many, but went on to then do Medicine in 2008 and become a Specialist Sport and Exercise Medicine Physician having gained fellowship of the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians in 2019. Dr Brandi completed a PhD on optimising the management of rotator cuff dysfunction through the University of New South Wales in 2018. And all this before she became the team doctor for the Matilda’s INCLUDING at this recent captivating World Cup tournament (as well as working with Sydney FC and numerous mens and womens rugby teams). AND she’s a Mum of two and has her own practice… like WHAT A WOMAN!!!

I could rave about this woman for hours, which I kind of did in this episode, so I’ll stop myself there and let you enjoy. I hope you guys are as inspired by this one as we were!!!
