Jimmy Bartel

Ever wonder how a Brownlow medallist, three-time premiership hero, and AFL icon becomes a gentle force for change?

In this deeply moving episode, Jimmy Bartel joins Sarah Grynberg to explore the man behind the medals, the father, advocate, and quiet survivor of domestic trauma. From playing through pain to raising sons with softness, Jimmy opens up about what it means to break cycles, rebuild after heartbreak, and redefine masculinity on his own terms.

You’ll learn:

*Why vulnerability, not victories, has become Jimmy’s proudest legacy.

*How he transitioned from elite athlete to present dad and purposeful mentor.

*Why healing is never linear and the most meaningful wins happen off the field.

This episode is a tribute to growth, grit, and the kind of strength that shows up long after the final siren.
