Tayla Clement has been through more in her short life than anyone should ever have to go through.

Born with the rare Moebius Syndrome which causes facial paralysis and also resulted in talipes (otherwise known as clubfoot). This enabled her to gain qualification into para sport and despite going through extraordinary difficulties which we talk about in our conversation, she continued, if only for a short time, to have an incredibly successful sporting career in TWO vastly different sports.

This is a funny, difficult, honest and beautiful conversation with a woman who has been through so much and yet has the most kind, warm and loving outlook on life.

We all have so much to learn from Tayla. I absolutely loved this conversation and I’m sure you will too.

I was going to make a joke about how this is a podcast episode only my mother will love - mostly because it really does feel entirely self indulgent, to dive into my past life and swimming career.

But that’s a disservice to my coach, Stephan Widmer who was the most important person in my swimming career. He radically changed the trajectory of my achievements and without his guidance, drive and singleminded focus/intensity, I wouldn’t have been the athlete I was.

And yes, it did my ego wonders to chat about how, once upon a time, approximately a million years ago, I was really good at something. And to talk about it with someone who was with me every single step of the way, but Steph is also the first coach I’ve spoken to on the podcast, and it was so wonderful to hear about the role coaches play in athletes lives, how they are constantly striving, how an athletes disappointments hurt them as much as it hurts us.

So many retired athletes, head into coaching so this is an opportunity to hear from one of the best.

Jake Edward’s had a family legacy to live up to. Three members of his family had played more than a 100 games of top tier AFL and he wanted to follow in their footsteps.

But what does it look like when life doesn’t turn out that way?

Jake spoke so openly about his experiences with mental illness and drug and alcohol addiction. This two part episode delves into his life through his AFL career, his rock bottom, getting the help he needs and re-learning the lessons when he dove into the darkness again.

So many people will connect with Jake and his ability to communicate his story will help an untold amount of people, especially young men. I’m grateful for Jake sharing so honestly. I think you will be too.

In life, I’m coming to realise more and more, that mindset is everything. That was certainly the case for Kerri Pottharst and her incredible win on Bondi Beach at the 2000 Olympics with teammate Natalie Cook. Their gold-medal winning mindset took them to the top of their sport at a home Olympics and is something that Kerri continues to utilise to this day.

That’s how she was able to push herself on the SAS course at 55 years old and continues to grow and develop to help other women reach their high performance potential.

Kerri is a wonderfully inspiring woman, who doesn’t let anything slow her down. I know you’ll love this chat!! Enjoy x

Katie Walker has been part of netball, in some capacity, for 38years. Playing, coaching, umpiring, commentating. She’s done it all.

But how did she evolve to become the strong, inspiring woman who lifts others up every single day to be their best selves? How does she raise four kids, with her husband Shane, while running her group fitness training business and her kicking goals with her coaching commitments with the Queensland Firebirds?!

Prepare to be inspired, Katie is warm and real and I will be forever grateful for her because the only reason this podcast even exists is because of the incredible community she creates.

I loved this chat and I know you will too! Enjoy x

Incredible Ironman athlete, Caroline Steffen, is remarkable in more ways than one.

The Swiss-Aussie started as a national swimmer, dabbled in some Ironman events and then turned to pro cycling. After realising that she was, in fact, an individual athlete, she decided to put it all on the line, move half way around the world to see if she could make it as a pro triathlete.

Caroline, is so open about her experiences so far in the early stages of this transition (she doesn’t like using the ‘R’ word) and I connected with so much of her story! I loved chatting to my very first international athlete! Oh yeah, and then there’s a little story about how she competed just SIX MONTHS after the birth of her first baby. Like I said.. remarkable!

I’ve known Caroline for a very long time after meeting her in 2011 and have followed her career ever since. So trust me when I say you will absolutely fall in love with Caroline “Xena” Steffen! Enjoy x

You know what I love? People who seem to have their shit together. Who have sat in their pain and discomfort and grow through those experiences. And it’s even better when they can share their wisdom with you.

That’s exactly what this chat with Layne Beachley was for me. So many moments when I reflected on what she said and the wave of recognition and relation washed over me.

I absolutely loved this conversation with Layne. I hope you enjoy it too x

Something a little bit different! Due to time constraints, school holidays and just general disorganisation on my part- you get me! This week, I’ll be answering your questions that you have for me around my experiences in and out of the pool and into retirement!

Let me know if you’d like to hear something like this again and if you don’t, please don’t say anything hahahahhahaha

Jessica Smith is a Paralympian. She was born missing her left arm, is a burns survivor and has battled disordered eating.

She is a mother of 3, an Australian living in the UAE and converted to Islam to marry her husband.

Jess is an advocate for positive body image, diversity and inclusion and disability awareness, and she was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for her roles within the community and dedication to sport.

There is no doubt that Jess is a remarkable woman, but with so many different ways to define oneself, how does Jess define herself?

This was a fascinating chat with a woman who has overcome so much in her short life so far and who will continue to achieve wonderful things!
