You co-wrote Sister Secrets with your sister Bronte, what was it like turning your personal stories into a book? Were there any moments that surprised you in the process?

It was a very cathartic process trawling through my memories and putting them down on paper. Bronte and I laid out the outline of what we were each going to write and then wrote separately. For me, the more surprising and rewarding part was reading Bronte’s work. I felt like I got to know her better because I was seeing an experience we had shared from her point of view.

If you and Bronte were to co-write a novel next (instead of a memoir), what kind of story would it be?

This is a tough question! We are very different people and therefore would probably write very different books! But if we were to write one together, I think we would fictionalise elements of our sibling relationship. Relationships endlessly fascinate me and while we have not been perfect, we have managed to juggle being sisters and rivals for a long time, which was both challenging and rewarding.

You’ve long been a role model for women in sport. Are there any books by women that have shaped how you see leadership, resilience, or ambition?

I recently read Kristin Fergusen’s book Head & Heart talking about the evolving styles of modern leadership. It was a new and refreshing take on leadership and one which I resonated with.

As someone who’s spent a lot of time travelling, do you have a go-to reading ritual or a favourite book you always pack?

I recently went on a road trip with Quest Apartment Hotels driving through north Queensland and a book is essential packing. Road tripping is my favourite way to holiday and while on a road trip I will listen to and read the same book. When I am in the car, I can listen to the audio version of a book, and then when I reach my destination, I can pick up the hard copy of it and read it either by the pool or laying on the couch. It’s the best way to see Australia and still indulge in some good reading time.
