I am an ex international athlete sharing stories and "need to knows" from current women in sport. I'd love to say I'm low maintenance but I'm an eldest daughter and I've never relaxed in my life... so let's go against the flow.

    Naomi Ashcroft - Henley Womens Regatta

    EPISODE 50. Yes, it’s a big one - recorded in person (my fav), heavily featuring rowing (predictable), and absolutely packed with jargon (sorry in advance… grab a notebook). I’m joined by Naomi Ashcroft, Chairwoman of Henley Women’s Regatta, rowing legend, and proof that if you stay in a sport long enough, they will eventually put you in charge of it. With 40 years in the game, she’s raced, won (a lot), and now helps run one of the most important events in women’s rowing. Also featuring: lightweight chaos, teamwork propaganda, and me once again banging on about rowing like it’s a personality trait. Thank you for getting this podcast to 50 episodes. Slightly unhinged, but we made it.

    Robyn Hart-Winks - The best of both worlds

    In this episode, we dive into rowing, career pivots, and identity beyond sport with Robyn Hartwink - Atlantic ocean rower, former teacher, and digital marketer. From university rowing at Edinburgh to crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Robyn shares her journey through elite sport, changing careers, and embracing being a multi-hyphenate. We talk about life after sport, athlete identity, confidence, and personal growth, plus the realities of GB trials, uni rowing culture, and “peace and pout.” We also cover career changes, finding purpose, overcoming imposter syndrome, and building confidence outside of sport -with plenty of chaotic and funny stories along the way. Perfect for anyone interested in rowing, student athletes, career transitions, women in sport, mindset, and self-development.
