Have you ever done something that absolutely terrified you, but once you were on the other side, you realised it was the very thing that helped you grow? In this episode of Healthy Her, host Amelia Phillips explores the power of fear, failure, and reinvention with one of Australia’s most extraordinary women, Dr. Jana Pittman. From the Olympic athletics track to SAS to medicine, Jana’s story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and continual evolution.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, craving a new chapter, or ready to rediscover yourself, this conversation will remind you that growth often begins where comfort ends.

About the guest:

Dr. Jana Pittman is a two-time World Champion, four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, and dual Olympian. The only Australian female athlete to have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

After her decorated sporting career, Jana reinvented herself more than once. Today, she’s a doctor specialising in women’s health, a mother of six (including twins), a passionate advocate for women in midlife, and a familiar face from SAS Australia, where she was the last woman standing in Season 2 and the only woman to complete the gruelling ladder troop extraction.

Her story is one of courage, reinvention, and what it truly means to step into fear and emerge stronger on the other side.
