Best of Special | Shaped with Ash Barty

21.01.2026

51 Minuten

To celebrate the Australian Open, we’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations on Shaped - our special best of episode with Ash Barty, one year on.

Ash Barty is one of Australia’s most loved champions - a former World No. 1, three time Grand Slam winner, and a proud Indigenous woman who shocked the world by stepping away from tennis while still at the top. In this special Best Of episode, Ash sits down with Trent Cotchin to share the real story behind the milestones: the foggy headspace, the pressure, the homesickness, and the moment she realised she’d attached her worth to results and public opinion.

This conversation goes far beyond tennis. Ash opens up about the lonely years between 14 and 18, why she walked away the first time at 18, and how her “2.0” comeback was built on courage, boundaries, and a strict no dickhead policy. Together, they unpack identity beyond sport, learning to separate the athlete from the person, and what success looks like when you choose happiness, family, and values over endless achievement. Ash also shares the purpose behind the Ash Barty Foundation, and why helping young Australians find their own “lightbulb moment” matters most now.

You’ll learn:

How Ash navigated the pressure of fame at 15, and why junior Wimbledon was both one of the best and hardest moments of her life The mindset shift that changed everything in her comeback, from building the right inner circle to separating “Ash the athlete” from “Ash the human” Why she retired at 25 despite reaching the top, and how she defines success now through happiness, values, and family

This is a timeless episode about slowing down, trusting yourself, and choosing a life that actually feels like yours — even when the world expects you to keep going. If you’ve ever struggled with identity, pressure, perfectionism, or people’s opinions, Ash’s honesty will land hard, in the best way.

Shaped with Rennae Stubbs

14.01.2026

55 Minuten

Rennae Stubbs joins Trent for a grounded, insightful conversation on belief, performance, and life beyond the scoreboard. From growing up in a working-class household in South Coogee to being recruited into the Australian Institute of Sport at just 15, Rennae reflects on the moments that shaped her independence, resilience, and competitive edge — and why being labelled “just” a doubles player never told the full story.

This episode explores the real differences between singles and doubles, the mental demands of elite sport, and why success often creates pressure rather than relief. Rennae opens up about subconscious doubt, aligning belief with performance, and the honesty required to win — not just matches, but partnerships and respect. The conversation moves beyond tennis into identity, authenticity, regret, and redefining success on your own terms.

You’ll learn:

Why doubles isn’t easier than singles — just misunderstood How belief (and doubt) quietly shapes outcomes before they happen What elite athletes struggle with after winning Why honesty and accountability matter more than talent alone How to define success without regret

A powerful reminder that success isn’t just about trophies — it’s about alignment, integrity, and giving yourself the best chance to win, on and off the court.

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
