She's been riding waves professionally for two decades, shaping young minds in the classroom, and somehow making it all look effortless. But in this episode, my sister Sophia Chapman pulls back the curtain on the reality behind that life.
Sophia has been sponsored by Roxy for 20 years, one of the most enduring partnerships in Australian women's surfing, and she's built a second life as a primary school teacher pouring into the next generation every single day. But this conversation goes somewhere different.
We go deep, and I mean really deep, on Sophia's mental health journey, the battles she's fought privately, and the experiences she's never spoken about publicly before. This is a raw, honest, and at times heavy conversation between two siblings who love each other and wanted to finally tell the truth.
