From “I’m going to die in my first game” to “I won MVP.”

In this episode of The Krissy Krash Podcast, we’re joined by Joanne Gianotto, aka PlatinumArgy, a roller derby skater from Sydney, Australia who turned “I’m going to die in my first game” into “I won MVP.”

Joanne shares her transformation journey—from struggling with weight, self-doubt, and morning alarms to building real strength, cooking for her family, and treating herself like an athlete. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt like their goals were too far away or that they weren’t cut out for the athlete lifestyle.

We talk about:
✅ Finding progress through tiny consistent wins
✅ How mindset + gratitude journaling rewired her confidence
✅ What changed when she stopped waiting for perfection
✅ Her unexpected love of meatballs (and single-leg deadlifts)
✅ Losing 17kg and 63cm—not by starving, but by fueling like an athlete

Joanne’s story is proof that you don’t need to be perfect. You just need a plan, a support system, and a willingness to start.
