Shien is a Melbourne based open water marathon swimmer, who originally fell in love with the open water after clearing the bush in NZ. Upon moving to Australia, the open water became a solace for healing after a challenging period in her life. Shien has since done several marathon swims of 20+ km and tells of her experiences with dolphins, overcoming severe jelly fish stings and how she mentally manages long hours in the water. 

Shien is absolutely inspiring and I know after hearing this podcast, you will come away feeling empowered and inspired in your own ability to face your next challenge.
