Editor-In-Chief of Women’s Health Australia Lizza Gebilagin on Facing Fears, Pressures on Women and Diversity & Inclusion

I am beyond excited to share this special episode with you guys. This week I’m joined by the Editor-In-Chief of Women’s Health Australia, Lizza Gebilagin.  She’s also the producer and host of podcast Holy Sh!t I’m Pregnant. We get stuck into so many amazing topics we’re both so passionate about.

Lizza shares the pivotal moment when the loss of a loved one made her realise she had been too scared to live the life she truly desired. From that moment, she decided that everyday for a year, she would do one thing that scared her.

This included stepping into the cage for her first MMA fight with no previous fight experience. She’s since gone on to fight in 16 amateur boxing fights and represented NSW in boxing.

Lizza also shares her incredible insights into what she’s learnt from the inspiring people she’s interviewed, the commonalities that high performing people share, along with how she’s dealt with the pressure on women and the shift in perception around her identity and what it means to be a woman pre and post baby.

We also talk about the importance of representation, diversity and inclusion particularly in the media and mainstream messaging, and the impact it has on the society and culture we live in.
