    Supercars to Sex Work - The Renee Gracie story

    Sam Squiers enters some unfamiliar territory as she sits down with Supercars drive turned sex worker Renee Gracie.Renee discusses competing against boys at a very young age (6:30), and what led to her meteoric rise, from go-carts to driving a Porsche on the professional racing circuit (11:15).She outlines the journey she took with Simona De Silvestro, spearheading an all-female Supercars team (17:45), and is circumspect when it comes to those David Reynolds' 'Pussy Wagon' comments (28:32).

    Supercars didn't bring any financial security, but OnlyFans did, and Renee is very open when it comes to her career switch (44.35), even outlining just how lucrative it's been (50:15).

    She also says her new-found financial freedom has become a barrier to a possible return to competitive racing (72:00).

    "No one should be ashamed of what their body can do" - Julia Robinson

    "No one should be ashamed of what their body can do" - Julia Robinson

    Rugby league star Julia Robinson has been a lightning rod for public opinion in her short but illustrious rugby league career so far.

    She sat down with Sam Squiers to explain how she found the sport quite late in life and what it's like having an army lifer for a mum (5:42)!

    Julia then explains how she was caught in a social media firestorm simply because she has some very useful muscles (21:16).

    When you get such vocal support from Sally Pearson and Libby Trickett you know you're doing something special and the #showyourmuslces campaign (26:03) that ensued showed how a storm of positivity can sometimes erupt from the most unlikely places.

JB Empowering women in sport ,

Informed and balanced

I love this podcast. Sam has the ability to bring out the story behind the athlete (or administrator) with empathy and often humour. I started listen to this podcast out of interest but now also use it to grow my own leadership to better understand the barriers faced by female athletes.
