Welcome back to Speaking of Her. This week, Jess and Luce are joined by Justine Barwick — a woman whose strength and resilience in the face of a terrifying ordeal is nothing short of extraordinary.

While taking a swim in the Whitsunday's, Australia, Justine experienced a life-altering shark attack — a terrifying event that nearly claimed her life. But her story doesn’t end there. In this episode, we delve into Justine’s extraordinary journey:

  • The harrowing moments of the attack and the race to keep her alive
  • The quick-thinking heroes whose actions made all the difference
  • Her long road to recovery — from those critical first hours to what healing looks like today
  • And most powerfully, how Justine’s experience reveals the true meaning of resilience, perspective, and strength in the face of the unimaginable.

This isn’t just a story of survival — it’s a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of the unimaginable.
