Description:

Does a 7 time Olympian have their life and motherhood together?

This is one of the first questions I asked, Libby Trickett. I’m sure she needs no explanation but just in case - Libby is an ex competitive swimmer who was a gold medalist in not one but THREE Olympics, and held the world record for the 100m free style. 

We’re chatting about everything, including why being an Olympian does not mean you have your life together, what it’s like going from being the best in the world, to living a normal life, and what she’s seeing happening too often with kids and sport right now (this part’s really interesting).

We chat about:

> “What did we even do before kids?” because somehow there was SO much time and now there’s none

> Libby’s morning routine with 5 kids

> Getting five kids out the door in the morning (and how that that alone feels like a huge win)

> The devastating race Libby didn’t watch for 15 years… and what happened when she finally did

> The shift in your 40s where you genuinely don’t give a f about what other people think of you 

> That feeling of “am I even doing a good job?” (and why it doesn’t just go away)

> Why we’re seeing less “body trust” in women + how that all links back to kids not moving as much

… and SO much more
