In 2011 Turia was running an ultramarathon in the Western Australian outback when she got caught in a grass fire. She suffered burns to 70% of her body - she had to learn to walk again and learn to live in a new reality. Now not only does she host her very own podcast, but she’s also the mum to two little boys, runs ultra-marathons, writes books, and wears a lot of hats. This is why today on the show she’s joining Leigh to talk about how she’s instilling resilience into her toddlers and how we can do the same.
