So I knew I would be the first, but I probably didn't expect the reaction.

But...

Now I can appreciate a bit more with the feedback I've had.

Not about the individual calls, but just about, you know, lots of people saying you're such a great role model for my daughter and now my daughter's going to grow up.

And that gets me as a mum.

Anytime anyone says anything about their children and being a role model, I almost get emotional because I think, well, that's what I want for my daughter.

So some people will like my call, some people won't.

But the reaction to me...

kind of creating history and going after something that hasn't been done before.

That's the stuff that I have appreciated because I think, well, that makes me happy and puts a smile on my face because I hope that one day my daughter thinks that too and thinks that her mum's really cool.

I hope so.

I think my message would be that...

believe in yourself and don't let the opinions of others hold you back.

Because, you know, I always knew I could do it, but I sort of let my own belief and my own confidence kind of be squashed by outside opinion or...

She does it and tags me in it.

So it pops up and I think...
