In the first episode of Season 2, Sienna and her Dad Ben, sit down with one of New Zealand’s greatest athletes, Dame Valerie Adams - someone she hopes to be like!

With Olympic gold medals, World Championship titles, and a career that has inspired a nation, Dame Valerie’s story is nothing short of legendary.

What makes this conversation so special is Valerie’s honesty about the challenges she faced growing up - from struggling to fit in as a teenager, to finding her purpose through sport, and building resilience through setbacks and injuries.

This conversation covers:

● Growing up with very little and feeling out of place as a teen because of her height

● Finding her purpose through sport and the mentors who guided her

● Handling setbacks, the effort it takes, and what it’s like competing on the world stage at the Olympic Games

● The achievements from Olympic Glory, becoming a Dame, having a Barbie doll made in her honour and where she keeps her medals!

● What Dame Valerie would tell her younger self and will she help Ben move rocks at home on the weekend!?

This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, you can achieve extraordinary things - and you don’t need to have it all figured out when you’re young (or at any age).
