Australian Olympian Brooke Hanson is this week's guest on This Is Your Journey – thanks to Tobin Brothers.

As the show continues to countdown to the Paris Olympics, Hanson was a perfect guest given she competed in the 2004 games in Athens.

At those games, the breaststroker won gold in the 4x100 medley and silver in the 100 m breaststroke.

Hanson’s success didn’t just occur at the Olympics either as she won a ridiculous six World Championships golds in 2004 (SC) in the 50m + 100m + 200m breaststroke, 100m + 200m medley and 4x100m medley.

She also won two golds at the 2006 World Championships (SC) in the 100m medley and 4x100m medley and 2005 World Championships (LC) in the 4x100m medley.

Hanson also retired with two Commonwealth Games silver medals.

The Manly native’s swimming career came to an end after the 2006 Commonwealth Games and she’s since gone on to be a media talent and motivational speaker.

The Aussie great discussed her career and much more in this week’s episode.
