The RMA Podcast. Episode 39. Transitions in life, mental health and fear of failure with Libby Trickett.

On this episode of the RMA podcast we chat to 4 x Olympic and commonwealth games medalist and swimmer, Libby Trickett! We chat to Libby about her career in sport, her struggles finding her passions out of the pool after retirement, and her journey to motherhood and beyond. 

We discuss the highs of her sporting career, and the crushing lows of finding her identity after retirement, navigating motherhood and struggles with post natal depression. We also chat about Libby's running journey and how being active and healthy is part of her wholistic approach to her life.

This conversation is for every woman who navigates the waters of life, and about seeking out what brings us joy and fulfilment, whilst juggling the balls that life throws at us, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. 

It is about building character through setbacks, seeking opportunities that light us up, and dipping our toes into experiences that take us out of our comfort zones. 

We talk about how to harness our fears to try new things, and how to not take ourselves too seriously when things fail, and that its important to find the humour in our everyday lives. 

We openly share our thoughts on normalising conversations around mental health, and if you are struggling with your mental health, where and how to seek support.   

Libby has moved on from her glory days in the pool to finding her passion in the mental health space, studying counselling, whilst juggling parenting, dabbling in podcasting on her podcast, "All That Glitters", and is now an author of a beautiful memoir, Beneath the Surface.
