In this episode of Fully Fearless, I dive into deep waters — literally and emotionally — with the wonderful Fiona Basile. Fiona is a gifted photographer, writer, and storyteller who’s found magic in the morning rituals of open water swimming in Seaford, Victoria.
What began as a way to shake off the heaviness of lockdown turned into a full-blown lifestyle shift, a thriving community, and an internationally awarded coffee table book called Immerse.
We talk about:
How one cold morning at Seaford Pier changed everything
The mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits of cold water immersion
Her documentary trip to Rwanda with her friend facing terminal illness
What it means to be truly present and part of something bigger than yourself
The profound stories behind her photography and the humans in her community
Whether you're a swimmer, a creative, a seeker, or someone navigating a big life shift, this one’s for you. Come hang out with us in the salt and sunrise. 💙

Let's remember: life doesn’t have to be perfectly planned. Sometimes the best chapters begin with a cold plunge and a sunrise.
