Zoë McBride is a double world champion in the women's lightweight single scull rowing. She held the world record in the lightweight single scull and is only the second New Zealander to win a double national championship in both the lightweight and premier single sculls.

Zoë stepped away from rowing in 2021 and has been open about how the need to make weight took its toll, not only on her body, but also on her soul. 

In this episode, Zoe shares her heart-wrenching journey. Her hope is that it might be useful for anyone else facing similar struggles. It’s a searingly honest conversation, and ultimately an uplifting one.
