In today's episode, Ryan speaks to Eleanor Webster-Hawes, a senior jockey from Bathurst. Webster-Hawes recently became a part of racing history in New South Wales as one of the first to be granted a dual trainer-jockey license, a career path also taken by Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne.

Eleanor had 12 years of being a jockey with over 1,200 competitive races. She grafted from working on the horse racing track to becoming a jockey apprentice before breaking into the men's world of horse racing. Today she's finalizing her degree to eventually become a qualified paramedic.

Tune in as Eleanor shares about:

• How she became a jockey 
• How she recognized her racing career was coming to a close when she started to hate the sight of weighing scales
• How  sexism is diminishing in the hockey space
• How Eleanor became brave by recognizing her future would eventually need her to focus on para-medicines
• Having the courage to experiment till you fulfill your passion 
• Going from an industry that she is so comfortable in but being excited by the next challenge as a paramedic

… and so much more!
