In this episode of Am I Normal, I chat with “Queen V” from Survivor — and there’s a lot more to her than what you saw on screen.

Outside the game, V is a record-breaking powerlifter and strength & conditioning coach, capable of lifting numbers that speak for themselves. But what stood out most in this chat wasn’t just her physical strength — it was her mindset.Her now-iconic line, “think about thinking,” opens up a deeper conversation around self-awareness, overthinking, and how we process decisions under pressure.

We also dive into her story growing up — from being born in South Sudan, to losing her mum at a young age, to finding her way in Australia as part of a big family. It’s a perspective that clearly shaped how she navigates people, conflict, and high-pressure environments like Survivor.

This one’s about more than the game — it’s about identity, perception, and learning how to understand your own mind.
