You know when the moment when you meet a person and you’ve recognised a sister from another mister? Well it seems everyone feels the same when they meet this natural beauty who stands strong in her own self-awareness, boundaries and what it means to re-build an empowered relationship with your body. I loved every minute (all 100 of them) of recording this Episode with such a magnificent woman creating change for women of all sizes in sport.
