Book excerpt: Buoyant tells the tale of how Wella guided her children Aaron and Hayley from single-parent welfare circumstances to world prominence in the sport of swimming, resulting in Olympic medals, world records and world rankings. Wella stumbled into exercise as a young adult, discovering it helped her focus on the positive, despite ADHD and anxieties, through daunting emotional and financial challenges. Instinctively she put her children in sports as well. Interwoven in the story are bits of new neuroscience research that corroborate the choices Wella made. Her story is a clear lesson that we have the capacity to change our own lives.
