Show Notes

Have you had to work extremely hard to get what you're dreaming of? Joining Sarah Grynberg this week is Australian swimming legend Stephanie Rice, renowned for her remarkable achievements in the pool. A triple Olympic gold medallist, Steph made history at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where she broke world records in the 200m and 400m individual medley events and contributed to Australia's victory in the 4x200m freestyle relay.

In this heartfelt conversation, we recount the highs and lows of Steph’s incredible career, what it’s like to swim a race as an Olympic finalist, and her battle with mental health. Steph bravely opens up about the darkness of media scrutiny and how she found a newfound love in religion.

This powerful conversation highlights the mental health struggles and hard-wrought journeys many Olympians face to find success.If you have dared to dream, to reach the pinnacle of your sport or industry, and have felt isolated along the way, this episode will remind you that even those with the most stoic facades and impressive achievements have their own messiness behind the scenes. May this episode shine a light on the limitless capabilities we hold within us and how we alone carry the keys to unlocking their power.

 

Steph has a new collaboration with Ancestry DNA, exploring how genetics may influence athleticism.
