Welcome back to the She’s Gutsy Podcast!
In this episode, our host, Juli Kleinhans, sits down with the incredibly inspiring Tamsyn Gerrits (formerly Tamsyn Jack). Tamsyn is a powerhouse entrepreneur, a Miss SA 2022 Finalist, a devoted wife, and a mother to her beautiful son, Elan.
But this conversation goes far beyond the highlight reel. Tamsyn opens up about “The Great Interruption”-the moment her dream life was violently put on pause by a sudden and terrifying cancer diagnosis.
In this episode, we dive deep into:
- The Builder Phase: Stepping onto the Miss SA stage and launching a business during a global lockdown.
- The Gutsy Catalyst: The terrifying hospital visit, discovering a massive 17cm tumor, and the reality of fighting cancer while raising a one-year-old.
- Redefining Beauty & Strength: How her definition of what makes a woman powerful has completely shifted.
- Practical Magic: Her vital advice on trusting your intuition and advocating for your own health.
This isn’t just an interview; it’s a real, honest, and safe conversation about true resilience, the power of a support system, and finding your footing when life hits the pause button. Grab a coffee (or listen on your morning walk!), and join us for a chat with no pressure, no performance, and no perfection.
