    #40 Spinal Surgery to Comeback: Competing When the System Wasn’t Built for You, With Meredith Young

    Watch & subscribe to 4TG on YouTube 📺  Meredith Young has achondroplasia – the most common form of dwarfism. She grew up in a family that lived and breathed sport, represented Australia across basketball, swimming, athletics and badminton, and became the fastest short-statured woman in the world. Without a sprint coach. Just pure heart and Asics on. In 2009, she captained Australia's first ever team at the World Dwarf Games in Belfast. Then in 2013 she competed again – knowing her spine was deteriorating – because sport was her sanity. Months later she woke up from spinal surgery unable to move her legs. This conversation goes everywhere. The netball coach who told a young Meredith she was a "danger" to her teammates. Fundraising Bunnings barbecues to get fifteen athletes to Belfast. Beating her ex-husband in the badminton medal round. Three and a half months in hospital. And what it takes to find your way back to sport when your body has fundamentally changed. Meredith is one of the most generous, honest guests we've had on It's For The Girls. This one will shift how you think about difference, resilience, and what it actually means to belong in sport. In this episode we cover: Growing up in mainstream sport with achondroplasia and finding competitive advantage in differenceThe netball coach who told Meredith she was a "danger" – and the lifelong impact of a coach's wordsBuilding and captaining Australia's first World Dwarf Games team from a Bunnings barbecue budgetBecoming the fastest short-statured woman in the world with zero formal sprint trainingTwo major spinal surgeries, losing the ability to walk, and the long road backThe psychology of recovery – when sport is your identity and your body takes it awayWhy being born different is not a limitation but a pathway to becoming a more whole personFollow Meredith & Links Instagram: @meredith_young Donate towards the 2027 Gold Coast World Dwarf Games Support the show ⭐ Did this episode inspire you?

    #39 Disordered Eating in Female Athletes, With Chelsea Blissett

    Watch & Subscribe on YouTube 📺 Chelsea Blissett is a professional footballer for Melbourne Victory and founder of Style TrackHer. In this episode, she speaks honestly about disordered eating in sport, and what eating disorder recovery can look like behind the scenes. No stereotypes. No fluff. Just the real stuff female athletes are often carrying quietly. Chelsea shares how anxiety, pressure, and a need for control can fuel bulimia and anorexia, plus the physical and mental impact it had on her training, confidence, and day-to-day life. We also talk about the power of support systems, why language matters for coaches and parents, and how she learned to separate “the eating disorder voice” from who she is. If you are navigating body image, performance pressure, or a messy relationship with food, this conversation will make you feel less alone.

    #37 What Sport Builds That No Contract Can Take Away, With Claudia Nielsen

    Watch now & subscribe on YouTube 📺  Claudia Nielsen has played elite hockey, represented Australia in Rugby Sevens, and signed with the NRLW's Wests Tigers. She is also completing a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Sydney. And ahead of the 2026 season, she was released. In this 4TG episode, Claudia gets real about what it actually feels like when the sport you gave everything to doesn't renew your contract — and how you rebuild when your identity takes a hit. We also go deep on the dual-career athlete reality: what Claudia's week genuinely looks like when you're training at elite level and halfway through a doctorate. Not the highlight reel. The real juggle. If you're navigating selection pressure, contract uncertainty, or that quiet fear of not being enough — this one will land. Because sport can take a jersey off you. But it cannot take the person it built. In this episode, we cover: The multi-sport pathway and what cross-code skills actually transferWalking into elite environments as the person who doesn't fully know the game yetContract non-renewal and identity after being releasedHandling uncertainty and staying elite-standard anywayDual-career athlete life — vet medicine and elite sport simultaneouslyWhat the multi-sport athlete sees that the single-code athlete doesn't📲 Follow Claudia on Instagram @_cludes Support the show ⭐ Did this episode inspire you?

    #35 Stop Overthinking This Season + My 4TG Announcement

    This week is a solo episode with me, Kylie Lynch, and it is a proper life update plus a mindset reset for anyone heading into a new season. If you are feeling selection pressure, nerves in a new team, or that heavy fear of judgement, you are not alone. I share why I am going all in on 4TG, and why sport has always been my anchor. Then we get practical. Because the fear is not failure. It is being seen trying and falling short. That changes the solution. If you are an athlete who overthinks, plays safe, or spirals after mistakes, this episode will give you simple tools to get your focus back, control your energy, and play with more freedom. I also share what I am building next through 4TG, including speaking in schools, clubs and sporting organisations on keeping girls in sport, plus 1:1 coaching for young female athletes around confidence, mindset and performance. Know a school or club that needs to hear the 4TG message on the importance of keeping girls in sport, or are you an athlete who wants to build unshakeable confidence so you can perform at your best on and off the field? Then reach out today via Instagram @4tg_podcast or visit our website 4tg.com.au  In this episode, we cover: Life update – going all in on 4TGSelection pressure and fear of judgementWhy “fear of failure” is the wrong frameLocus of control – effort, attention, energyHow to be unbothered without becoming cold3 tools to stop playing small this seasonSupport the show ⭐ Did this episode inspire you?

    Watch and subscribe on YouTube 📺  Janelle Cuthbertson is a former AFLW player and elite tennis athlete who has lived the part of sport most people never see – the lonely rehab sessions, the identity crash after injury, and the mental health battles that can follow. Across her career, she has faced three ACL injuries plus several long-term (and often freak) injuries, and she has recently announced her retirement after the last one. In this episode of 4TG (For The Girls), Janelle opens up about what happened after her most recent ACL when she realised she was not coping, and made the brave call to admit herself into a mental health facility for three weeks to get proper support. She shares the fear and stigma she had to push through, and the practical tools she still uses now to stay steady day to day.

Joining us is legendary sports journalist Marnie Vinall to break down the harsh realities of being a female athlete in Australia: the pay gaps, the corporate greenwashing, the systemic silencing, and what needs to change. In this episode, we cover: Pay inequality across all sports – Why A-League Women earn $30k while men earn $182k, and how this affects entire support systems (coaches, medical staff, trainers)Corporate greenwashing in women's sport – The $125M annual sponsorship gap and why businesses aren't investing despite proven ROI ($1 invested = $7 return)Systems designed to keep athletes silent – Contractual restrictions, fear of losing opportunities, and the consequences of speaking outMedia representation evolution – How coverage has shifted since AFLW began, and why we need to move beyond "isn't it cool women play sport"Mental health crisis in underfunded systems – What happens when athletes can't invest their bodies and minds because they're paid so littleFan power & collective action – How fans and athletes together can drive real change in women's sportMarnie's journey – From ballet dancer to sports journalist, forging her own path when there weren't many women to followFeaturing standout moments:   "These careers are so unsustainable.

It's a mirror to how women are seen, how women are valued.""There's never been one single AFLW player who has publicly said, 'We want equal pay.'
