EPISODE 16: Shantelle Thompson

LISTEN:

Born into a family of 17 children, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and Australian wrestler Shantelle Thompson’s road to success has been a windy one.

Thompson was sent on a path of discovery after an attempt at suicide during her diagnosis with postnatal depression, a path that lead her to a Jiu-Jitsu world championship and now a bid to qualify for the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games in wrestling.

Thompson shares her remarkable story of triumph over mental illness and what she is doing to help the next generation overcome trauma.

A must listen.
