Episode notes
Anna-Liza Mopio-Jane moved from Port Moresby to the Central Coast of NSW at just four years old. Her visits back to PNG are always special — reconnecting with family, friends, and the roots that shaped her.
A Learn to Swim program in Australia opened the door to a career in the pool, eventually leading her to represent Papua New Guinea on the world’s biggest stage: the Olympics. In this episode, Anna-Liza shares what that experience was like, how to develop strong training habits, and how she learned to navigate disappointment — in both sport and life.
We also chat about celebrating your wins, the power of manifestation, and her next chapter: opening a private practice to support and guide athletes through their journeys, both mentally and emotionally. This is a story of growth, identity, and giving back through experience.
