Ever feel like like some of life's challenges are just too steep to overcome?

Joining Sarah Grynberg this week is Australian swimming icon and Olympic gold medallist Michael Klim, celebrated for his exceptional career in the pool. Known for his powerful freestyle and butterfly strokes, Michael has secured numerous international titles, including gold at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, where he played a pivotal role in Australia's triumph in the 4x100m freestyle relay.

In this fascinating conversation, Sarah and Michael delve beyond the sporting silverware to explore the mental toughness required when faced with life’s greatest challenges. Michael shares his personal battle with a debilitating autoimmune disease that took him from being one of the world’s greatest athletes to struggling to walk. They also discuss the immense pressure of carrying the hopes of a nation on his shoulders and how he found a new identity and purpose outside of the pool.

Michael is the author of his new book, Klim: An Insight to the Man Behind the Medals, which offers a deeper look into his journey. His story reminds us of the impermanence of everything and the sacredness of each day.
