All That Glitters - Giaan Rooney

Hello! We're back and this week we're so excited to bring you an new interview with one of my all time favourites of Australian swimming - Giaan Rooney. 

Giaan joined the Australian swimming team at 15, and went on to participate in multiple Olympic and Commonwealth Games and World Championships. She's collected a host of medals for relays and individual swims, and today is a much loved and respected part of the swimming commentary team. Her transition from swimming to real life wasn't entirely seamless, but my goodness, it was close. I am in awe of what she has achieved and her process to work through everything.

Parents, we give you permission to say no to kids sport

We're doing to mid term check in, and the vibe in our households is a-v-e-r-a-g-e. Why? Because we've accidentally signed our families up to too much sport. So in a move which is very off brand for us, we're giving parents permission to say no to sport - NOT ALL SPORT - just too much of it.

So What Happened Next? Kim Ravaillion

Kim Ravaillion is one of the most electric players to watch on a netball court. But her ability to play and move almost came to complete end in 2023, when she woke up one morning to find that she couldn't move her leg. So what had happened to bring Kim to this point? And,  what happened next...?

All That Glitters - Anna Meares

We’ve got another special conversation from the archives, this times with Australia’s Chef de Mission and all round brilliant human, Anna Meares.

Anna Meares is Australia’s most decorated cycling Olympian, with six medals to her name. While she had 16 years of podium-level performance, there was nothing easy about that career, and things certainly didn’t get easier when she retired. I love this conversation as much now as I did two years ago!

Running is the IN THING at the moment so of course we're talking about it. Do we run? Yes. Do we run fast. ABSOLUTELY NOT. We are also in awe of the six amazing Aussie women who have qualified for Paris in the most Olympic sport of all ... the marathon.

All That Glitters - Layne Beachley

All that Glitters is back with some of our favourite conversations from the archives!

Layne Beachley learnt a lot from winning 8 world surfing titles and breaking new ground for female athletes, but some of the biggest learnings happened when she finally became still and listened. Layne has sat through pain and discomfort and my goodness, has she grown through that experience.
