I CAN’T BELIEVE I FINALLY GET TO SHARE THIS! . The other night the emotions overwhelmed me as I stood up on stage representing Australia for the final time. After 18 years in the sport, I am finally ready to hang up my bathers, cap and nose clip to step into the next chapter in my life - and I mean that quite literally! . As one door closes another one opens! As I have been preparing for the end of my synchro career I have been working at starting my next one, I can’t believe I am saying this but… becoming an AUTHOR!! . As I sat across the chair from one of my sports psychs a few months before the Rio Olympics he said to me - “You know, your journey would be an amazing book!” That comment sparked the kindling inside me to make something greater of my story, something that is bigger than just me. I tried and tried to write it over the past few years but something just didn’t feel right about it all, but then through the beautiful experiences of life and meeting divine souls who have inspired me - something cracked open inside of me. After trying to write a book for three years, it flowed out of me in 3 months at the beginning of this year. . Because I realised that it isn’t just about me. That doesn’t feel good. It is about sharing the beauty of my journey, the raw, the real, the difficult and the beautiful so that others can do it to! So that others can go after the impossible, MAGICAL dream that exists inside of them! . So with the proudest of hearts that is overwhelmed with love and appreciation for this insane weekend I present to you: “THE UNLIKELY OLYMPIAN: STEP INTO YOUR FEARS TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS” . In my ideal world, this all worked out perfectly! But curveballs come as they do and I was just so excited to announce this I just thought - HECK - I’ll do it anyway. Right now only the Kindle Version is available for Pre-Order (the cover photo should be up soon), the Paperback version will be up in the next couple days as well as being available on AUDIBLE! . And if you are in PERTH and want a copy before anyone else and want to celebrate this moment with me I would LOVE for your to come along to the BOOK LAUNCH on August 11th from 4 - 6pm!! . . . .

Sometimes there are no words - just an overwhelming feeling of gratitude ❤️ . . . . . . #artisticswimming #synchro #synchronisedswimming #mixedduet #australia #olympian #worldchamps #worlds #gwangju #southkorea #fina #mixedtoolympics

Tomorrow if finally the day we compete 🙌🏼 . Four years ago I sat at World Champs in Kazan in absolutely excitement and honour getting to watch the first ever Mixed Duet event compete. I was so proud to be there to witness history be made in the sport🇷🇺 . Two years ago at Worlds in Budapest I watched the Mixed Duets in awe at the massive improvements and achievements all of them had made, so proud to be part of a sport that was continuing to push the boundaries 🇭🇺 . Now this year, tomorrow, I am absolutely humbled and honoured to say that I get to take part in the event I always watched in absolute amazement. Not only that but I get to do it with Ethan, an amazing ambassador for men in the sport, while we make our little mark in the Australian Artistic Swimming history 🇦🇺 . After 10 training days here in Gwangju, we are ready for our moment to take the stage 🕺 . You can watch us live a finatv.live @ 11am South Korea Time - we are competing #1 out of 11 competitors! For those in Perth that is 10am, Friday July 19th. For those in Vancouver that is 7pm Thursday, July 18th 📺 . #artisticswimming #synchro #mixedduet #mixedtoolympics #synchronisedswimming #synchronizedswimming #gwangju #southkorea #worlds #gwangju2019 #australia #perth #perthathlete #olympian

One of my favourite things in the world is to be a C H E E R L E A D E R 🎉 It has been my honour and greatest pleasure to cheer these girls on the past few days as they go and put their heart and soul into their swims! . I am so proud of all of them, so proud to be standing in the stands chanting the Aussie cheer from the stands and radiantly proud to say that T O D A Y these gals qualified Australia for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics 🇯🇵 Congratulations my lovelies ❤️ . I’m beaming with joy for you all beautiful ladies! And Just itching to get my chance to dive in the pool to represent Australia one last time! . T-Minus 2 days!!! . #artisticswimming #synchro #australia #gwangju #olympicqualifier #synchronisedswimming #southkorea #worldchamps2019

We’re here 🇰🇷 . It’s so cool to be in Gwangju staying in the athletes village which is giving me flashbacks to Rio! I feel so blessed to be able to experience World Champs for the 3rd time! Especially to be doing it with this fella 🕺 . T - Minus 6 days until we compete! You can watch it LIVE on Fina TV if you want to cheer us on. We have been drawn first out of the 11 Free Mixed Duets 🏊‍♀️ . . . #mixedduet #mixedtoolympics #synchro #synchronizedswimming #artisticswimming #fina #fina1908 #gwangju #worlds #worldchamps #perth #perthathlete

We’ve been working on something else that’s a little special for worlds 🌎 But you’re gunna have to wait to the Gala on the July 20th to find out 😉 . Stay tuned 📺 ✌🏼 . #artisticswimming #synchro #synchronisedswimming #worlds #finaworlds #mixedduet #gwangju #worlds2019 #gwangju2019 #mixedtoolympics

Create your own f*cking box 📦 . I used to think I could be someone that ADORES the glitz and glamour of my sport AND love understanding consciousness, spirituality and meditation at the same time 🧘🏼‍♀️ I didn’t see a box where I fit in. So I thought I couldn’t be proud of both 🙅🏼‍♀️ . I created this story that I wasn’t a fully “conscious” person because I don’t LOOK like all the other people out there that do those things. I couldn’t meditate before training because that’s not what synchro swimmers do. I’m not fully aligned and I can’t be both because I’ve never seen anyone do it before. There was no box for me 🙅🏼‍♀️ . But recently I realized - SCREW the F*CKING box 📦!!! . I don’t have to find a box to feel myself. I’m not NOT aligned because no one has done it before. I don’t have to stop loving one to embody the other. I love synchro and I LOVE weaving spirituality into my life - and I can create my own bloody box! . So many of us walk around trying to figure out how and where we fit in. What people we resonate with and niches we identify with. If we don’t perfectly slot into one we feel like we don’t belong. Screw that. Let’s get rid of that bloody mindset 🙅🏼‍♀️ . If we are doing what feels good to us, TRULY good to us - so much so that our heart swells with love - we are in the right place. No matter if we fit into a certain bloody box or not ❤️ . Now peace out as I go and meditate with my crystals before I go to bed to get ready for a couple days left of training tomorrow before Worlds ✌🏼🧘🏼‍♀️ ☮️ . . . #worlds #synchro #fina #gwangju #synchronisedswimming #artisticswimming #australia #ais #spiritualsport #veganathlete #fina1908

T-Minus 3 weeks until Ethan and I compete at World Champs ✅ as we jet off to the AIS to join the team for a training camp before Gwangju 🇰🇷 . I am feeling so blessed that someone who was once a stranger a couple of years ago is now not only a close friend but my partner in making our little mark on the World of Synchronised Swimming 🏊‍♀️ . We work hard at training knowing that we want to make Australia proud when we are up there on stage in South Korea 🇰🇷 but every session is also filled with lots of silliness and laughter as we try and soak up every moment of this crazy beautiful experience 🙌🏼 . It’s not always gunna be easy, but it will definitely always be worth it ☺️ . . . #mixedduet #synchro #australia #synchronisedswimming #gwangju #fina1908 #artisticswimming #synchro #
