Girls Talk Welcome to the Girls Talk podcast, where girls talk, girls talk, girls share, girls listen, and girls take control. I'm Andrew Abba and I started girls talk because of my own struggles with mental health. The thing that brought me out the other side was knowing I wasn't in this alone, talking

about my problems with my girls and moving my body to clear my head.

Which is why every episode I'm going to invite my friends to talk, share, listen and take control

of our shit.

Because together, we will become individually and collectively

stronger, inspire each other and create a badass community. So, listen to us when you need to put your

headphones in. Block out the noise and surround yourself with the tools to control whatever chaos

is in your life.

Hi girls, we're recording from Milan. We've gone all international and the whole girls talk

team have flown to Italy for a really exciting girls talk event. By the time this episode goes out,

hopefully all you Milan listeners will have come down to the talk and listen

to me and the panel speak. I can't wait to meet you all. So this month, we're on the theme of

representation and today I have the honour of meeting one very exceptional person who's

also on the panel of today's girls talk event. But I wanted to take more of her time and get her on the podcast.

I know I say this every time, but her story is going to blow you away.

I actually can't believe what she's accomplished as an athlete

and the strength and positivity she's approached it with.

And I just know all my girls are going

to want to hear everything about her. So like I always say, without further ado, let's start

the first part of the podcast.

Your full name is too long for me and my Italian accent isn't good enough.

But your full name is Beatrice Maria Vio.
