Season 4, Episode 18 – Libby Trickett

Libby was all smiles after winning gold medal after gold medal at three consecutive Olympic Games, but as she shares in this episode of the Imperfects, on the inside she was struggling with a powerful feeling that she wasn’t enough.

Australia has had a LOT of success in the Olympic Swimming Pool. That’s an understatement. But one of our most successful and loved Olympians of recent times is golden girl, Libby Trickett. During her successful swimming career Libby was all smiles after winning gold medal after gold medal at three consecutive Olympic Games, but as she shares in this episode, on the inside she was struggling with a powerful feeling that she wasn’t enough.

Libby tells us all about what that was like, as well as sharing her more recent struggles with motherhood, and how both have led to bouts of depression and anxiety.

Libby displays extreme vulnerability in this episode – more of which is in her new book, Beneath the Surface.

Thank you Libby.
