Dreaming is my way to be in touch with myself. It's my connection to God. And when I go too long without it, I miss it.

It's hard: For someone who travels as much as I do - who has to make her living on the road eight months out of the year - relationships are incredibly important. But at the same time, they're incredibly hard to maintain.

I couldn't make it work, in the end, in Tulsa or Dallas - in the middle of this foreign country without my support system.

My mental health has negatively impacted my ability to do my job.

Eventually I returned to the W to play in Dallas, because of my coach Fred Williams. But once Fred got fired, I knew that my support there was gone. And that the only way I could stay in the league would be if I were living near my family on the West Coast.

I matured a lot.

When I joined the Australia team, I was 17 or 18.

We are women and we are passionate and we are playing hard.

I'm plant-based and don't eat animals.

People don't realize how fast fire can move.
