The Krash Course Roller Derby Podcast
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.
