About

Girl. Woman. Athlete. was an idea that grew when I, host Sophia, was injured and was forced to take much needed rest from my Coast to Coast training schedule. This created time to reflect on the new lifestyle I had adopted, the people I was meeting and why I felt so good.

Suddenly, I felt immensely passionate about the positive impact sport and working towards a physical challenge was having on my life.

I was meeting women and having conversations that inspired me. I was gaining insights I wish I’d known years ago. Hearing stories that helped keep me motivated and, most importantly, I felt immensely proud of being a woman who was daring to take on the longest day of the Coast to Coast. Why? Because there were women all around me that had taken on their own challenges, whether physical or mental, big or small, and I felt part of this collective recognition that we women are strong. We are Athletes.

Girl. Woman. Athlete. is currently only a radio show and podcast however I have dreams to turn it into a not-for-profit supporting access to sports for women and girls. Club memberships, events, clothing, shoes, equipment, logistics all cost money, take time and energy. I want to help remove these barriers so more women and girls can access sports, go on adventures, challenge themselves to a race and feel the proud of what their minds and bodies are capable of!
