Motherhood fuelled her Olympic Dream.

from Something Shifted | Stories of Identity, Loss and Life Transitions · host Sean Loots - Award-Winning Broadcaster & Human Storyteller

For most, becoming a parent is a seismic shift, a lifequake that transforms everything we thought we knew about ourselves. It's a journey that challenges us to re-evaluate our priorities and make some tough decisions. Like how to balance our own dreams with the responsibilities of raising our children? In 2022, Vicky became a mom for the first time. Two weeks later, her dream to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games was born. With a newborn in her arms and just 2 years to prepare for the 2024 Olympic Games, Vicky set out to pursue her passion - not just for herself but to inspire her son. As parents, how do we carve out time for self-care without compromising precious moments spent nurturing our children's world? Ultimately, we find ourselves grappling with two powerful questions - am giving enough and am I enough? Vicky Botha is an inspiring business owner, triathlete, wife and mother of one who shares how she balances it all.
