The One with Heath Thorpe

Heath Thorpe has spent years representing Australia on the world stage in the world of gymnastics, where he's already accumulated more medals than you can shake a stick at! 

When he’s not competing at the very highest level, Heath is representing for the LGBTQ+ community in sport – and building his own brand as an athlete, an advocate, a model, a social media star and so much more.

We’ve been wanting to catch up with Heath for a little while – and since his schedule brought him to Belgium this spring, it was the perfect time to get him back onto the podcast for a catch-up about life over the past few years.

This is a cracking chat about Heath’s journey over the past few years – from becoming a national champion to changing his discipline within gymnastics, to becoming a broadcaster and discovering a strength of character he hadn’t always been certain he'd had.

We also talk about queer joy and visibility; becoming a role model and inspiring others; his release and being himself and loads, loads more besides.

It’s fantastic to get Heath back on the podcast, and we can’t wait for you to hear this one.
