Olympic silver medallist Rach Taylor once defined success by the medals she chased in elite rowing. But after stepping away from the water, she discovered the real challenge wasn’t on the podium—it was navigating life after sport.

In this episode, Rach sits down with Amber Daines to share her extraordinary journey from Olympic glory to surf lifesaving, corporate leadership, and now, coaching and tech innovation. With raw honesty and her signature no-BS approach, Rach opens up about the emotional toll of losing her identity, starting over as a mature-age student, and the clunky but courageous road to reinvention.

Today, she’s the founder of Rach Taylor Coaching and a strategic advisor for an HR tech startup aiming to reshape how we work. Together, they explore themes of burnout, resilience, identity, and why finding purpose after sport—or after any major life pivot—isn’t a straight line.

This is a must-listen for anyone navigating change and craving a life that feels more aligned, human, and fulfilling.
