Everyone has their own parenting journey and I had an inspiring conversation with Olympic swimmer Brooke Hanson. She shares her journey from an elite athlete representing her country to a working mum. Brooke has 4 children, 3 earthside and one angel baby, Jack, after he passed away when he was 9 months old.
She has faced my challenges in both her professional swimming career and throughout her motherhood journey, and Brooke shares how she often comes back to her "why" to help her determine what is best for her family at that time, and why we don't need to compare ourselves to others.
[Trigger Warning] Brooke opens up about her experience with infant loss and how it has shaped her perspective on life and motherhood. She shares candidly about the challenges and emotions involved, providing insight and understanding for those who may have experienced similar losses. Brooke also shares how valuable the Starlight Children's Foundation is and the positive impact it has had on her life and family.
Listen to discover how Brooke's story can inspire you to navigate life's challenges with a positive mindset and find joy in the journey.
Brooke Hanson is a proud ambassador for Starlight Children’s Foundation. She is sharing her story in support of Starlight Day on May 21, which aims to raise $1 Million dollars by June 30 to help brighten the lives of 26,000 seriously ill children. To donate visit starlight.org.au
