From her roots in surf lifesaving to the pressure-cooker world of triathlon, Emma opens up about the unspoken struggles female athletes face — from body image battles and funding cuts to fertility concerns and media expectations.

She shares insights on navigating the emotional aftermath of the Olympics, building a personal brand in an underfunded sport, and why athlete well-being needs a serious overhaul.
