A few favourites from Glasgow 💙
I’ve returned home from the Commonwealth Games and had the best time being part of @7networksport’s swimming coverage.
I spent the week commentating the swimming, alongside a fabulous team, and also got to sneak down to pool deck for a few interviews with the athletes.
There’s something pretty special about speaking to someone just moments after they’ve done something they’ve spent years of their life working towards and hearing what’s going through their head.
There were so many great stories at these Games.
Cam McEvoy continuing to challenge decades of accepted wisdom about how a world-class sprinter should train, adding Commonwealth gold to his Olympic and world titles. I love watching someone question the way things have always been done and prove there might be another way.
Scotland’s Archie Goodburn competed at the highest level while living with an inoperable brain cancer diagnosis, and is using his platform to advocate for better treatment and change for people with brain cancer in the UK.
And then there was 18-year-old Victoria Belando-Nicholson.
Victoria was pulled from the water as a small child after a migrant boat journey, having lost her birth mother. She and her sister spent time in an orphanage in Malta before being adopted. In Glasgow, she won a Commonwealth Games bronze medal. Watching Victoria celebrate that bronze alongside Gemma Sellick, who won silver, was one of my favourite moments of the Games.
It made me think about how much para sport has changed. When I was their age, our races were often squeezed into television ad breaks. This generation is having a very different experience. Their races are part of the prime time coverage and their performances are being celebrated for what they are. And there was Victoria, moments after becoming a Commonwealth Games medallist, being interviewed on pool deck by @ariarnetitmus_. Very cool.
And I got to do all of this alongside a brilliant team. @giaan.rooney @ariarnetitmus_ @alisternicholson and an incredible team behind the scenes. There’s something very special about working with people who are exceptionally good at what they do, care enormously abo
#Glasgow2026 — one for the record books! 🏴
I was so proud to watch the history-making performances from our @dolphinsaus, and to call the results alongside the most incredible commentary team in @giaan.rooney, @alisternicholson and @ariarnetitmus_
What we lost in sleep, we made up for in fun 💚💛
What a joy to bring these remarkable stories into Aussie living rooms with the entire on-air and behind-the-scenes crew at @7sportau and @7commgames

Delighted to be joining the broadcast team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
It’s one of my favourite events on the sporting calendar and I’m looking forward to being back behind the microphone.
Glasgow, let’s go! 🇦🇺🏴

There are some sentences that sound made up.
“I made martinis with Stanley Tucci, and then drove around the Formula One track in Monaco.”
Yet here we are.
I’ve got my AI on the future 👀 🤖 🙈
Okay that might be daggy 😜 but it was a lot of fun to MC the monō ai launch recently - a company that’s thinking big and bold about how to take large organisations AI native.
I know it feels like AI is everywhere right now, but seeing companies use it to automate the "busy work" is what actually gets me excited.
Why?
Because it gives us back the one thing we need most: Time 🙏
Time to do what we humans do best that robots can’t - make authentic connections, strengthen relationships, unlock creativity and push the boundaries of what’s possible.
As a speaker and host, my work has always been about the power of human potential. Seeing how AI can support that potential is a space I’m becoming really passionate about 🚀

There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a room full of women comes together to lean in, listen, and lift each other up✨
I recently had the pleasure of spending a morning with the incredible team at @sheikeandco, presenting a keynote on grit, resilience, the power of a growth mindset.
We talked about how to reframe our perspective when we hit obstacles, because some of our greatest challenges are often just redirects toward the version of ourselves we’re meant to be 💜
In a world that can sometimes feel like it pits women against each other, I believe our greatest strength lies in our community and how we continuously show up for one another 👯 #YTG
