In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips discusses all things motivation with sporting legend, mental health advocate and bona fide national treasure, Layne Beachley. From adopted baby to a seven-time world surfing champion and the only surfer (male or female) to win six consecutive world titles, Layne’s is a journey forged through grit, guts and a commitment to personal growth.
Having grappled with injury, mental health challenges and personal loss, Layne knows more than most what it takes to do hard things. Here she shares her hard-earned insights and challenges us all to dig deep to find that missing motivation.
About the guest:
