A Life of Greatness

Leisel Jones: The Pain Then The Rising


Listen Later

Is our life measured by public perception, or by the ideals that we hold true for ourselves? Sitting down with Sarah Grynberg is former Olympic swimmer Leisel Jones, OAM, regarded as one of the world’s greatest-ever Australian female competition swimmers. With a career spanning seven World Championships titles, nine Olympic medals, 10 Commonwealth Games gold medals, Leisel is no stranger to excellence. But in this in-depth conversation, Sarah and Leisel sit down to discuss life beyond the glory of the pool: the importance of exercise for a healthy mind; the pain of discomfort; and the discipline it takes to conquer your dreams. If you are looking for ways to reshape your inner landscape with more courage and conviction, then this inspiring exchange and Leisel’s fresh, driven perspective will not only remind you that what we perceive to be perfect may not always be so – but that the purpose of our existence essentially remains the same for us all: to live and breathe the entire spectrum of the human experience.
