"For a number of years, success to me was operating in a really unhealthy manner. I would need to be under significant duress away from the game to then step over that white line and go perform, as it was the only time I would feel like I was in control of my life." This episode is with Nicole Bolton - Australian opening batter and arguably one of the best Western Australian cricketers of all time. Bolts has a fascinating story, battling inner demons for the majority of her career, yet find...

He had a deep drive to succeed, however, an inability to control this desire and fall into the trap of the fear led to a continuous rollercoaster, jumping to 22 different clubs in 17 years and eventually ending up alone - bankrupt, suffering from addiction and contemplating life. As always, the lessons le...

Naomi is the captain of Middlesex in the UK, has played and won the KIA superleague with the Western Storm and is contracted with the London Spirit in The Hundred.

Sh...
