Casey DellacquaEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

In this episode of Shaped, Trent Cotchin sits down with Australian tennis great Casey Dellacqua, a seven-time Grand Slam finalist, doubles champion, mum of three, and one of the most respected voices in Australian sport. From growing up in a working-class Perth family to moving across the country at just 15 to chase her tennis dream, Casey opens up about the grit, sacrifice, and heartbreak behind life on tour. She reveals what it was really like to navigate body image pressure, financial struggle, and loneliness as a young athlete — and how friendship, resilience, and authenticity shaped her into the woman she is today. Casey reflects on her incredible partnership with Ash Barty, her journey as a proud LGBTQ+ mum, and the lessons she’s learned about hard work, failure, and self-worth. She shares how therapy, motherhood, and perspective helped her find happiness beyond the headlines — and why she now defines success as “contentment and courage, not trophies and titles.” This is one of the most heartfelt and inspiring episodes yet — a reminder that failure doesn’t break you; it builds you. You’ll learn: What elite sport taught Casey about hard work, failure, and resilience How she navigated body image struggles and media pressure as a female athlete The power of friendship and trust in her partnership with Ash Barty What it means to live authentically as a same-sex parent in Australian sport How Casey redefined success, identity, and joy after retirement This episode is proudly supported by Ezee Mobile.
