My Story
BEFORE YOU TRUST ME, LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF
Hi, I’m Allie
I grew up in Geelong and now call Sydney home, playing netball at the elite level. Sport has given me incredible opportunities but it has also stretched me in ways I never expected. I’ve navigated pressure, setbacks, self doubt, and the quiet identity shifts that come when your performance feels tied to your worth.
What I’ve learned is that setbacks aren’t the end of the story, they’re part of the becoming. They invite you to grow, reflect, and understand yourself more deeply. Real strength isn’t built when everything feels easy. It’s built in the uncomfortable, honest, messy moments.
That’s why I created Air It Out, to give young people the tools, awareness, and safe spaces I wish I had earlier. Because confidence isn’t about being perfect. It’s about knowing who you are, backing yourself, and having the courage to show up as you are, on and off the court.
That’s why I started Air It Out, to pass on what I’ve learned, and create safe spaces where young people can figure out who they are, be proud of that person, and feel confident in whatever they’re navigating.
My passion sits right at the intersection of mental strength, disability inclusion, and youth empowerment. Through storytelling, connection, and a whole lot of heart, I want to make sure no young person feels alone in what they’re going through.
