Izzy Wagner first came onto our radar after getting involved with this year’s Rainbow Laces campaign — but for tens of thousands of people, her social media has long been a trusted source of health and fitness advice.

It’s been one year since Tim Koleto, the 2022 Olympic silver-medal-winning figure-skater, announced his retirement from a sport that shaped him for more than 25 years. During a remarkable career, Tim competed around the world, earning more medals and titles than most people could dream about in a sporting lifetime – and doing it in circumstances that were far from normal! Two years before retiring, Tim also shared another defining part of his story — coming out publicly as bisexual, helping to increase visibility for LGBTQ+ athletes in winter sports and beyond. Now, he reflects on what authenticity has meant throughout his career, the pressures of elite competition, and navigating life after sport. In this episode, we talk about: Winning Olympic silver at Beijing 2022 Representing Japan on the global stage Coming out as bisexual in elite sport Identity, visibility and allyship in figure skating Life after retirement and redefining purpose This is a thoughtful, powerful conversation with one of ice dancing’s most compelling voices — and a must-listen for fans of the Olympics, figure skating and LGBTQ+ stories in sport.

Tom Miazga is, quite simply, a powerhouse. A Paralympian, a record-breaker, a multiple-time CrossFit champion and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community — his journey is one of resilience, reinvention and relentless drive. Tom first made his mark in the pool, representing Team USA at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing. Over his career as a swimmer, he smashed eight American records, set two Pan-American records, and collected more than a dozen international medals along the way. But if you thought that was impressive, Tom was just getting started. Switching to CrossFit took his competitive career to another level. To date, he has been crowned “Fittest Seated on Earth” an incredible nine times, cementing his legacy as one of adaptive sport’s most dominant and inspiring athletes. Away from competition, Tom is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, raising awareness and money through high-profile fundraisers — and with modelling also on his résumé, it’s fair to say he’s a man of many talents. So we’re thrilled that Tom found time to join us for a powerful, honest and uplifting conversation about: His journey from Paralympian swimmer to world-beating CrossFit athlete What drives him to push beyond limits, again and again Pride, visibility and supporting the LGBTQ+ community His favourite memories from a remarkable sporting career Why showing up authentically changed everything This is a motivating, energetic and deeply inspiring chat with one of adaptive sport’s most impressive champions — and we think you’re going to love it.

Mitch Brown spent years living the ultimate Aussie footy stereotype — a tough, reliable defender running out nearly 100 times in the AFL for the West Coast Eagles. A Rising Star nominee and a much-loved teammate, Mitch’s career looked every inch the image of the “straight” Australian sportsman. But behind the scenes, Mitch was carrying a secret: he was bisexual. And in a league where no male player had ever spoken publicly about being part of the LGBTQ+ community, the pressure to keep quiet was immense. That changed earlier this year, when Mitch Brown made history by coming out publicly — becoming the first male AFL player to do so. His story sparked global headlines, inspired countless others, and became a landmark moment for representation in Australian sport. In this powerful, honest conversation, Mitch joins us to talk about: His journey with his sexuality and the challenges of keeping his secret in elite sport What it was like to come out publicly as bisexual — and the worldwide reaction Inspiring others across Australia and beyond with his bravery and visibility His proudest and most unforgettable memories from his AFL career Authentic, thoughtful and deeply inspiring, this is a landmark episode with a trailblazing athlete who changed the face of the AFL forever.
