Geoff Huegill: The Pressure of Perfection

Geoff Huegill’s name is synonymous with success. He’s a swimmer and dual Olympian, with 72 international medals under his belt.  At the height of his career, he held eight world records and was known for his incredible comeback after coming out of retirement in 2008 - winning two gold at the Delhi Commonwealth Games, breaking a Games record and even his own personal best time. But he’s had his struggles - getting caught with a small amount of cocaine at the races, being in the public eye and scrutiny over his fitness. In this episode, Geoff talks openly about how he came back from those low points, how he deals with the harder emotions, and reveals the last conversation he had with his Dad - when he was just 12 years old.

Michael Hutchence and Bono. She worries, now, that instead of changing our clothes, we can change our faces too easily and that there is a sameness in beauty today.

Di Sheehan: The Church Stole my Baby

Di Sheehan was a young, unwed mother in the 1970s, and was told her baby died at birth. She signed discharge papers when she left the hospital and tried to move on with her life. Four decades later, she received an email from a man who said he thought Di might be his mother. The discharge papers she signed were in fact adoption papers - a common practice in that time, to force women to give up their babies. Di now has a relationship with her son and has reconciled the lost decades with her first-born.
