Welcome to our Summer Series where we're replaying some of our most popular episodes over the last 3 years so you can discover episodes you haven't heard before or re-listen to some fan favourites. In this episode, Nicola and Di chat with the unstoppable Di Westaway. The founder of Wild Women on Top and Coastrek, Di is an Australian gymnast champion, Australian aerobics champion and she holds the world record for the highest handstand, which she did on the top of Mt Ama Dablam in Nepal. As if that wasn’t enough, Di is also an author of 2 books, was awarded an OAM for her services to women’s sport and charitable services, and she’s a mum of 3. Di spends her time inspiring, empowering and motivating women to lead adventurous lives they love and through her mission, has raised nearly $50 million dollars for charity! In this chat, we hear about the incredible adventure in Argentina that started it all for Di, and how hiking up a mountain with her girlfriend changed her life forever. We talk about the power of female friendship and how having an ambitious goal that you’re doing with a supportive community, can really help women to finally prioritise their own health and wellbeing. We also chat about the amazing benefits of mother nature, and the way that you can start tuning in to the magic moments in your life. The best part is, Di shares how much she is loving life in her sixties, and how life (and sex) just keeps getting better and better. This is a positively refreshing and inspiring chat with a woman who makes us all want to keep soaking up every bit of juice in life.
