I am a Paralympian and professional speaker who has shown time and again that whatever challenges life throws at you, they can be overcome. I was the first Australian above knee amputee to compete in an Ironman Triathlon, setting a world-record time in the process. The event consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km ride, 42km run – a massive undertaking for any athlete. I’m currently preparing for the Toky

Have you ever felt overwhelmed and stressed, saying 'yes' to every work project and sacrificing your personal time, only to end up emotionally exhausted and with strained relationships?
Did you know that not setting boundaries can be a slippery slope leading to burnout?
For a long time, I was in the dark about what boundaries even were. I used to say 'yes' to everything that came my way, even if it meant sacrificing my weekends.
Inspired by Brené Brown, I've come to understand that defining 'what is okay and what is not okay' is crucial for everyone involved.
What Are Boundaries?
Boundaries are the limits we set for ourselves and others.
For example, choosing not to check work emails after 6 pm to maintain work-life balance.
Why Do Boundaries Matter?
Without boundaries, we risk emotional exhaustion. I remember feeling drained when I didn't set limits on my availability. Boundaries create a respectful environment for everyone.
How to Set Boundaries?
1. Be Clear: Define what you can tolerate and what you can't. For instance, I now block out 'family time' in my calendar; that's non-negotiable.
2. Communicate: Discuss your boundaries openly with others. This can be uncomfortable, but it's best for you, them and the relationship.
3. Stand Firm: Saying 'no' is okay. I've turned down speaking engagements that didn't align with my values, which was liberating.
4. Reevaluate: Life changes, so update your boundaries as needed. I've adjusted my 'no meetings' times as my family's needs have changed.
My Journey
I still feel uncomfortable setting boundaries, but I've learned it's best for all parties involved. It's a practice that I'm still perfecting, but I know it's improving my well-being and resilience.
Remember, setting boundaries isn't just about self-preservation; it's about fostering respect and understanding in all your relationships.
Hey everyone! 🌟 I wanted to share a video with you about my recent experience at the Busselton 100 race. It's been almost five years since I last raced locally, and it turned out to be a genuinely eye-opening weekend. I met many amazing people who told me how my journey has inspired them to overcome their challenges.
I've been away from social media for a couple of years, mainly because of how it made me feel during the start of the pandemic. But after my time in Busselton and connecting with these incredible individuals, I realised that it's not about me. What I share can change someone's life, even if just by a small degree.
In this video, I discuss my goal to compete at the Paris 2024 Paralympics and how endurance sports have helped me develop mental resilience. I want to use my journey as a case study to prove that the lessons we learn from facing challenges can be applied to everyday life.
So, I've decided to continue showing up on social media—not for me, but for that one person who might be inspired by what I share. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with all of you, and I hope we can continue to support each other on our individual journeys. 💪
Watch the video and let me know your thoughts in the comments below. See you soon! 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️

Looking for a new approach to teamwork? Then why not take on Yappy for a chance of victory in this tournament?
The Resilience Rumble is an incredible way to achieve team building, genuine appreciation for diversity and seeing the world from other's perspectives, and a life lesson in resilience. At the same time, it supports me in preparing for the road to Paris for the 2024 Paralympics.

There's a lot to love about my sport, triathlon.
The athletes I race against and their incredible stories stand out the most to me.
For example, from Spain, Lionel Morales lost his leg tragically at the age of 24 in a motorbike accident. He entered the world racing scene in 2014 and has always been one of my main rivals.
Lionel's dedication and love for triathlons are inspiring. In 2018 when the IPC(International Paralympic Committee) removed our race from Tokyo 2020. Lionel kept training and racing without any certainty that our race would return to Paris in 2024 when most other athletes quit, but he was ready when in December 2021, they announced our race would be in Paris.
2022 was the best racing season of his career, and he is currently ranked 1st in the world.
Then I saw he turned 50 last week, and I was like wtf.
I was shocked.
50. Most able-bodied 50-year-olds struggle with getting out of a low couch or keeping their blood pressure down, and then you have Lionel in the best shape of his life as an above-knee amputee racing triathlons faster than ever before.
It made me think, and I hope it makes you think. What's my excuse?
Lionel, thank you for what you do. You inspire me, and I look forward to the next time we race.
Hay tantas cosas que amar en mi deporte, el triatlón.
Una de las cosas que más resalta son los atletas con los que concurso y sus increíbles historias.
Por ejemplo, desde España, Lionel Morales trágicamente perdió su pierna a los 24 años en un accidente automovilístico. De esa tragedia, entró en el panorama olímpico en el 2014 y desde entonces ha sido siempre uno de mis principales rivales.
La dedicación y pasión de Lionel por el triatlón son inspiradoras. En el 2018 cuando el IPC (Comité Internacional Paralímpico) canceló nuestra participación en Tokyo 2020, Lionel mantuvo su entrenamiento y competencias sin ninguna certeza que la participación retornaría en Paris 2024. Y mientras varios atletas interrumpieron su preparación en aquel entonces, Lionel se mantuvo listo y en Diciembre 2021 se anunció el retorno de nuestra participación en Paris.
En el 2022 fuimos testigos de su mejor temporada y gracias a ello, es ahora el No 1 a nivel mundial.
Luego, me llegue a enterar que la semana pasada celebró su 50avo compleaños.
Me quedé perplejo!
50. La mayoría de nuestros cuerpos a los 50 ya darían problemas al levantarnos de una silla o manejar nuestra presión arterial, y luego vemos a Lionel, encontrándose en el mejor nivel de su vida compitiendo en triatlones en sus mejores tiempos
Me hizo pensar, y espero que les haga pensar. ¿Cual es mi excusa?
Lione, gracias por lo qué haces. Me das bastante inspiración y espero con ansias el volver a competir contigo.
