I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow mob.

Welcome to slow mob. Welcome back. My guest today is the Australian boxer, Kickboxer Karate. So she started at age 12 with karate then transitioned into kickboxing where she won five out of the seven fights she fought and then found her true calling in boxing I'm very curious about that because I would

surely not find my calling in boxing and then basically had a remarkable record of

41 wins out of 51 fights, including seven state titles, five Australian titles, three oceanic titles, and two international gold medals, and so many accomplishments for a female in that sport.

When we got in touch on social media, Claire told me her story very quickly and I thought there is so much in this that's behind the

spotlights that we all learn to ignore when we look at the glory and the winds rather than the suffering and the losses.

Claire Gabriel is truly an example of what sports will tend to teach you, but what you don't see in the background of being

what Claire became a renowned sports icon. Claire, I am very grateful that you're here with me today. I had to read actually

because of the number of wins and medals and and disciplines which I have to say, you know, as I said in the intro, I wouldn't do, I would never

choose boxing as a reason to be in my life. I hate pain and I hate pain for me and I hate pain for others.

So what made you do that? Why would you pick up karate at 12 and then end up being beating so many people

if you're like? Well just for the record I actually hate pain too. I'm actually

known as probably one of the toughest

horses going around, like us my petition.

I'm crying when she plucks my eyebrows,

I've got tears rolling down my face.

It's, I guess it's a different adrenaline.

The fact of, yeah, being punched doesn't actually hurt.

So yes, I have no pain tolerance either.
