Show Notes
[Watch episode here] In this deeply honest episode of Shaped, Trent Cotchin sits down with AFL Hall of Famer Wayne Carey, widely regarded as one of the greatest players the game has ever seen. But beyond the accolades and on-field dominance lies a story of pain, personal growth, and redemption.
Wayne Carey opens up like never before, sharing the raw truth about his childhood, including a difficult relationship with his parents and running away from home at just 13 years old. He reflects on the moments that shaped him, both as an athlete and as a man.
No stone is left unturned as Wayne addresses the infamous Anthony Stevens scandal, his biggest regret in football, and how it took him until his 50s to truly begin to forgive himself. He shares how speaking to someone changed his life, giving him clarity, perspective, and healing.
This episode dives deep into mental health, emotional growth, personal accountability, and the truth behind the headlines.
