When Lisa Blair was 25, she fell in love with sailing while she was working as a hostess on a sailboat.
Fast forward only seven years later and she became the first woman to sail solo around Antarctica with one stop.
But it wasn’t without complications, having a near-death experience where her yacht dismasted at sea.
Still she kept sailing, quickly becoming the fastest woman to sail solo around Australia and then Antartica as she crazily attempted her record again, and beat it by ten days.
All these adventures took place onboard her yacht, Climate Action Now, which she hopes will inspire others to take action towards sustainability.
Now she's gearing up to break another record by travelling the Artic solo.

Emily Gielnik has played more than 50 games for the Matildas, and counting.
It’s a career that’s so far included an Olympic Games and a FIFA World Cup.
But her journey into that side was far from the textbook. In fact it was a school camp at the Australian Institute of Sport that started her footballing career, when her PE teacher asked if she could join in on a training session with the Matildas.
Fast forward and Emily made her debut with the Brisbane Roar at age 18.
And then with the Australian Under-19s, where she scored a hat-trick on debut, and eventually with the Tillies a year later.
After an extensive career around the world, Emily is back scoring goals at the Melbourne Victory. In her spare time she works with teammate Chloe Logarzo running Future Baller, clinics designed to equip young girls with holistic football skills and mental strength.
This episode is brought to you by Monash IVF. The exclusive Fertility Wellness Partner for the Australian Athletes’ Alliance, providing athletes like Emily with reproductive education and care.

From age 12, Elle Steele knew she wanted to become a Paralympian. Even better, she knew she wanted to become a Paralympic Gold medallist.
At just 17 years old she achieved that dream, representing Australia at the Sydney 2000 Games, and breaking the 400 metres freestyle record on the way.
After retiring from swimming, she made the switch to Wheelchair Rugby and became the first female to represent Victoria in the sport.
But when injury stopped her competing from sport altogether, neurolinguistics gave her a new lease on life.
Elle quickly learnt the power that language can have on one’s perception of disability, but also one’s sense of self.
Now she works as the aptly titled ‘Self Belief Agent’, helping others to unlock their potential.
This chat demonstrates the power of positivity and self belief and we hope you enjoy it.

Noemie Fox is the first-ever Olympic champion in the women’s kayak cross.
While she comes from a family of paddling royalty, the youngest Fox wasn’t always in love with the sport. A self-described, late bloomer, it wasn’t until age 15 that Noemie found her love for water sports.
Growing up alongside her Olympic Champion sister, Noemie kept falling just short of that Olympic quota. That is until she found kayak cross and made it her niche.
While she only left herself two months to qualify for this year's Paris Games, the journey to get there was certainly worth its weight in gold.

The GOAT of Australian Basketball.
Every time we hear that phrase, one particular athlete always springs to mind.
And considering she’s just become the first Australian to win FIVE medals across FIVE Games, there’s no better time to have her back on the pod.
It’s been almost two years since we spoke to Lauren Jackson and during that time she was gearing up for an impressive 5th Basketball World Cup and one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.
It hasn't been the easiest journey to get there with a broken foot, torn Achilles, two ruptured planta fascias and a lot of sacrifices along the way.
But that comeback has become even more impressive, because LJ is not only a 5x Olympian but now also a 5x Olympic medallist.
Chloe sat down with the GOAT just days before
she hopped on the Plane to Paris, full of hope for her last Games. Now she returns to Australia with another bronze medal around her neck.
This series is presented by Nike, championing athletes like LJ, listening to athletes’ needs and supporting them throughout all their journeys.Buy our kids book The A to Z of Who I Could Be, or book for adults GIRLS DON’T PLAY SPORT. www.thefemaleathleteproject.com/shop
