Really Interesting Women - the podcastEpisode 140    Bianca ChatfieldBianca Chatfield is a former Australian netball player. In fact, she was one of the youngest players to have debuted for Australia.  She's won a world championship, Commonwealth Games gold as well as 6 combined premierships with Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens.  The transition from successful athlete to what I'll call the outside world, is never easy. And it's a testament to her ability, drive and determination that she would become a leading media personality and business owner. Bianca is, without doubt, one of the most prominent female voices in Australian sport. She also works across a variety of TV and radio shows, launched a book in 2016 called Every Girl Needs A Plan and, always seeking new challenges, in 2018 she and a former teammate, became reality TV stars when they were one of the teams on the channel 9 reality show, The Block.

Between 2001 and 2014 she made 59 senior appearances for Australia, was a member of the Australian teams that won the gold medals at the 2007 World Netball Championships and the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

How to actually do what we want to do How to stop our brain sabotaging our activities How to create constructive habits How to step outside your own thinking to evaluate what and why you are doing and feeling that way.

The Adelaide Thunderbirds are through to their first grand final in exactly a decade after an extra-time thriller against the NSW Swifts in the semis.Meanwhile, the West Coast Fever keep their back-to-back title dreams alive after knocking the Melbourne Vixens out of the race.We've got some thoughts about how extra time is played and the umpiring, before we analyse all the action.

In 2012 Irene helped lead her New Zealand team Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic to victory, beating the Melbourne Vixens in the ANZ Championships. She later went on to play for New Zealand's national team, the Silver Ferns. Originally from South Africa, she initially faced a hostile media who didn't accept her as a New Zealand player, but with her success she eventually became a national treasure.
