Our next guest in the Move Over Mama podcast is an Olympic Champion, a Dancing Star, and Sports News Reader and our first OAM. Sally Pearson.

When she was only 14 she started to get noticed by the country for her Athletic ability winning the Australian Youth 100m Hurdles. From there went on to become one of Australia’s most successful female athletic Olympic champions winning a Gold Medal in London, breaking records in the win, a Silver in Bejing, 3 Commonwealth Games Medals and many other world championships. More recently she swapped running shoes for dancing heels for Dancing with the Stars on Channel 7 and now reads the Sports News for Gold Coast News. There is so much to learn from Sally Pearson. Firstly how hard it is to train your whole life, only to have all that training focused into just 12 seconds of time, and how to reinvent yourself when one career ends and its time to start another one…

Raised by a single mum who worked two jobs to fund her dreams, Sally's love of winning, learning new things, and saying YES paid off and she is living her best life. Our favorite part of this interview was hearing when she was able to tell her Mum she didn't need to work two jobs anymore when she finally got a sponsor. With twists and turns along the way, because no journey is ever easy, Sally answers all Millies questions and imparts her wisdom on the next generation. A must listen.

Keep up with Sally on her socials @SallyPearson look for the blue tick and watch her nightly reading the sport on 7 News Gold Coast
