This is an ABC podcast.
There was just lots of little things.
So, you know, I certainly had some things happen to me in my teenage years from an assault perspective that weren't great and and I've had to overcome and then, you know, just a very difficult marriage which broke down for for both of our sakes in the end was probably a good thing.
And the media definitely was hard.
I am someone who loves to be liked.
You know, seeing some of the negative press on the media, you know, cut me to the soul.
Uh that was tough and then obviously m my marriage breaking down and then I lost a couple of babies as well through miscarriage and things like that.
So it's just little life things that everybody goes through.
Um and obviously I didn't even touch on one of the big ones, which was I never won the Olympic Games.
So if you set out to
To achieve something
Um, you know, it might be that you want a a new job at work and you're desperate for that promotion and you and you deserve it but you just don't quite get it.
It's it hurts.
And I trained every day, hours a day, busting my guts, vomiting most days a week, pushing myself beyond human limits to try and win the Olympics.
Um, I won everything else, all Commonwealth, World titles, everything you can imagine.
And then the only one that I really wanted never came to fruition.
So I think
It's funny because I used to that used to really hurt, whereas now I've achieved my ultimate goal in medicine.
I don't it doesn't bother me as much.
But certainly and around the time I wrote that book, it still haunted me considerably.
