Mollie Gray has a personality larger than life at times. She's bubbly and personable, she's strong-minded and driven but at the height of her Rugby Union playing career she was carrying a lot more than what was saw on the surface. A member of the Australian Army, Mollie returned from Afghanastan experiencing bullying and asult from a male superior. She threw herself into anything and everything to compress her trauma and found herself playing both XVs and Sevens for Australia.
It's been a long road to recovery both physically and mentally for Mollie Gray and her free spirited chat with Sub Her In is inspiring on so many levels. Professionally and personally she has an incredible story to share and I was so grateful to be able to do that with her.

This is the incredibly strong in stature and in nature wahine toa, Megan Signal. Our first and favourite [I can say that on the first one] chat of season 2 for Sub Her In.
Megan openly shares her slightly indiffrent journey into the elite levels of sport through a pure want for better health at a later age. From humble crossfit beginnings to the prestigous honour of earning the Fern on the World stage as an Olympic Weightlifter.
Megan is so humble and grounded in how she articulates the journey she is on. It is an extremely refreshing conversation to listen in on for the importance of trust. Trust for the people you surround yourself with and trust in the values and path you are currently on.
The most relevant and anchoring take away for me was the importance of conversation. The weight it can lift by engaging in one, and the burden it can leave beause we chose not to have one.
Thank you Megan for selflessly giving up your time. Good luck for the upcoming Commonwealth Games this year! We'll be watching x

For me creating something with purpose and integrity to contribute to a space I support and believe in, is more fulfilling than any 9-5 will ever be able to offer. Thanks for chiming in and jumping on board to a new season of SUB HER IN. It is one of my slowest but proudest achievements.
