Gina Chick: writer and Alone Australia winner on surviving loss and grief

Gina Chick is no stranger to survival - and she's proven herself to be pretty tough emotionally. She famously survived alone in the Tasmanian wilderness for 68 days with barely any supplies and no food during the cold winter months. Outside of the competitions, she's had to battle some personal challenges - she's had cancer twice, tragically lost her three-year-old daughter and endured a young life where she felt like she could never fit in. She says she's always felt connected to the Australian wilderness - and it helped inspire a love of writing stories.  "I can't fake it - I am the world's worst actor, which I discovered when I had my first foray into presenting. I can't do a script, I can't play someone else, I can't pretend - you can see what's going on on my face." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
