One of the greatest female basketball players of all time reveals just how tough life was for her as a high school student in Albury.
We hear about Jackson's life-changing move to Seattle and the heart-wrenching dilemma which immediately followed an Olympic final when she was told a family member on the other side of the world was dying.
The two-time WNBA champion talks injuries, mental wellbeing and what inspired her to use her voice to speak up for other women around the world.
There's even talk of approaches by reality TV producers and Jackson explains why shopping in Lavington Square appeals more to her than living in any of the world's most glamorous cities.
