Becoming a mum changes everything. But what happens when you’re also an elite athlete trying to make your way back to the world stage — with twins at home?
In this episode, we’re joined by two-time Olympian and twin mum Morgan Mitchell for an honest, hilarious and refreshingly real conversation about twin motherhood, returning to elite sport and chasing another Olympic dream.
Morgan takes us from finding out she was pregnant with twin girls Honey and Maya, through a difficult pregnancy, giving birth at 35 weeks and their time in NICU, to recovering from a C-section and beginning the biggest comeback of her career.
We also talk about what it really takes to balance ambition and motherhood — training, travelling, spending time away from her girls, missing milestones and leaning on her husband, family and wider village to make it all possible.
We chat about:
The reality of a difficult twin pregnancy and NICU time
Recovering from a C-section and returning to elite sport
The physical and mental side of her Olympic comeback
Balancing training, travel and twin motherhood
The importance of having a strong support system
Making time for yourself as a mum
Her road to the LA 2028 Olympic Games

It’s a conversation about motherhood and ambition existing side by side — and finding a way to keep chasing your own dreams while raising two little people.
