Listen now
Description
Former ironwoman and world record breaker Bonnie Hancock tells Sam Squiers about sharks circling her and giant crocodiles stalking her ski paddle, on an incredible voyage circumnavigating Australia (51:12). Before she risked life and limb on that insane quest, Bonnie details her life growing up on the north coast of NSW (1:35), meteoric success in ironwoman competition (8:37) as well as battling body image issues that took years to shake (18:23). And if you've ever wondered why someone would turn their life upside down and paddle themselves around the biggest island on the planet (33:28) you've come to the right place!
