In this episode we have an incredibly inspiring guest whom I’ve been eagerly waiting to introduce to all of you – Sarah Watson.
In this episode, Sarah shares her transformative story from her career in the Australian Army to finding new passions and purpose post-service. She opens up about her healing process after experiencing PTSD, the role of sport in her recovery, and how participating in the Invictus Games led her to fall in love with triathlon.
Sarah's story is a testament to resilience and the power of community. She walks us through her experiences as a competitive triathlete, achieving remarkable accomplishments like competing in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. Her passion for the sport inspired her to start a triathlon club in her hometown of Yass, which has grown to 70 members and even secured a trophy in the New South Wales Inter Club Championships.
Sarah also dives deep into her work with trauma-informed yoga, where she explores the impact of mindfulness and breathing exercises on mental health. She recounts her initial struggles with yoga, the breakthroughs she experienced, and how teaching trauma-informed yoga to veterans and first responders has been both rewarding and healing.
Throughout our conversation, Sarah drops nuggets of wisdom that will resonate with anyone navigating their own journey of healing and self-discovery. Whether you’re curious about competitive sports, looking to explore yoga, or simply need an inspiring story to uplift your spirits, this episode promises to deliver.
