In 2016 Tom Boyd was in the first premiership winning Western Bulldogs team since 1954. He kicked the goal that would go down as one of the greatest moments in AFL history and put the Premiership out of reach of the Sydney Swans. 

Giving up a multi-million dollar contract, the story of Tom's retirement just over 2 years later, at the age of 23 is remarkable. Tom speaks so beautifully about the importance of managing your mental health, being happy regardless of factors like money and how retirement isn't the end, it's a career transition.

There is so much to take away from this chat with Tom, and if you want more I definitely recommend reading his book 'Nowhere to Hide'.

I hope you enjoy it x

Our most fresh retiree, David Meade, joins the podcast this week!

Having announced his retirement, effective immediately, just last week, I spoke to Dave about how he knew he was ready to hang up the boots.

We spoke about his remarkable upbringing, family challenges, and where he’s going to be putting his energy now.

Dave was so generous with his story and I absolutely loved our chat! I know you will too!

Susie O’Neill. The iconic Madame Butterfly. One of the original golden girls, in a golden era of swimming. She was a role model for me and many in my generation.

She is one of the most down to earth people you could ever have the pleasure to meet. An undefeated world beater for so many years and kind as they come.

And yet, perfectionism, self doubt and not knowing how to apply her skills learnt through so many years of hard work, impacted her transition into life after sport and in her role as a mother.

I know you’ll love this chat with Susie as much as I loved talking to my childhood role model. Enjoy x

FINALLY! Another episode out and it is a cracker!

Dr Lauren Burns is an Olympic gold medallist from Sydney 2000 in Tae Kwon Do, a sport that not many Australians would have thought about participating in, let alone winning a GOLD MEDAL AT THE OLYMPICS!

We talk about her “alternative” childhood, her fierce desire to ask questions and learn in all aspects of her life, her ability to ask for the space that she needed as an athlete, how she has been able to transition her learnings and passion from her sport into her career after AND LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST FIRST THOUGHTS AFTER WINNING A OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL I HAVE EVER HEARD. Seriously. The best.

I know you’ll love this conversation with Lauren as much as I did!

There are always some people we know in our lives who seem to have been dealt more than their fair share in life.

Meagan Nay is one of those people. When she was just 3 years old she lost her father, Robert, in a car accident. In 2009, on the eve of the Rome World Championships, the unthinkable happened, she lost her brother Amos, also in a car accident.

Turns out lightning can strike a family twice.

Megz is so open about her experiences during these difficult moments in her life and also in the challenges she faced in transitioning to life outside of swimming. But as we discuss she’s finding passion and purpose again, somewhere where she wasn’t sure she would and it’s a joy to watch her to grow and thrive!

I know you’ll love this chat as much as I did!

It’s so easy to judge people we don’t really know. To judge people in the public eye where we see barely 1% of their lives. To judge or be envious of their achievements. To judge their decisions, to judge mistakes. To judge. Even though we might admire or respect, we still judge. Both can be true.

I’ve been guilty of this many times in my life, and I certainly have been guilty of this with this weeks guest.

Geoff Huegill is the first to acknowledge the tumultuous ride of his life and this conversation with him was so was revealing for me. I understood him better and his openness and vulnerability has built even more respect.

I loved this chat with Skip and I know you will too ! Most importantly though,I think you’ll understand him a little better and be able to respect the incredible life he has built!

Darius Boyd. 

He is someone who I have been keen to interview for a very long time. I’ve been fascinated by his journey through the NRL beginning with a premiership and finishing with a wooden spoon. 

I was fascinated how he followed a single coach to different teams, how he openly checked himself into a mental health facility, and how he has now gone on to educate others and do great things in the mental health space.

Darbs (we are in nickname basis now whether he likes it or not ) has quite a story and I know you’ll love this chat! Enjoy x

Fellow Townsvillian, Natalie Cook, captured all of Australia with her beach volleyball partner, Kerri Pottharst winning gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

It was and still is an absolutely iconic moment in Australian Sporting history, right up there with Cathy Freeman’s win in the 400m and the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay at the same Games.

But that’s not where Nat’s story ends. She went on to compete at another UNBELIEVABLE three Olympic Games! Becoming the first Australian woman to compete at an astonishing five Olympics.

Nat was so vulnerable and candid in this chat and I was so grateful to be in this conversation with her. She continues to inspire and advocate for athletes and I just know that she will continue to have a huge impact on sport in Australia!

Grant Hackett. Hacky.

He was one of those athletes that I was lucky enough to admire from afar before making the team and also, had the privilege of being part of the team with him.

He has always been put up on a pedestal in my mind. An exceptional athlete, who always chose to lead by example.

He’s also been through a couple of very public breakdowns and some enormously difficult personal circumstances.

I’ve known him as the leader of our Australian team who I looked up to (literally and metaphorically) and now I know him as someone who continues to grow and evolve and is now an incredible business leader who is capable of vulnerability and who continues to lead by example.

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