#9 From Olympics to Motherhood: Becchara Palmer on 18 years of Beach Volleyball, Pressure & Life After Sport

In this episode, we dive into the journey of Becchara Palmer, whose 18-year beach volleyball career led her to represent Australia at the 2012 London Olympics. She shares the highs and lows of elite sport - the pressure, expectations, body image struggles, and the lessons she loved most, along with what she might have done differently. Becchara also reflects on returning for a second Olympic attempt, which became the perfect place to retire. Now, stepping into motherhood, she channels the same passion and creativity into her digital marketing business, specialising in brand strategy, marketing management and design. Based in a beautiful country town in South Australia with her husband and young son, Becchara brings balance, heart, and creativity to everything she does - both in life and in business.
