Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.

Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches,

change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live

by and what motivates them to get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage,

motivate and inspire, so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal

and professional goals.

Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast. Today I am joined by two-time Olympic gold medalist,

runner, activist and now author of The Race to Be Myself, Kasta Semenia. Welcome to the podcast.

Thank you. Thank you for your time. Thank you for having me.

I'm sure that many of the listeners will know parts of your story, but they've probably never heard it told by you. Casta, the book is incredible. How do you feel now that it is out in the

world, now that people can read your story told by you? I feel, I feel great, I feel fulfilled.

I'll say it's a healing process.

But I think it's the most important thing is that it's always great

when stories being told by its own, you know,

person, making sure that you connect with the people that, you know, support you, people that

have been, you know, behind you. And just to make sure that, you know, they have a better understanding

as much as they had, you know, a long-distance relationship with you. I think now is just part of

a token of appreciation to say, look, this is what has happened to me.

It was just about time to say, you know, I tell you the story when I'm ready, yeah.

When you feel ready now.

Of course, yeah, feel ready.

I feel matured.
