From victim to survivor, and now thriver.

'My mission is to clear the path ahead, just a little – so that maybe you won't have to endure what I did to live the life you deserve.'

Former world No. 4 tennis player, commentator and body positivity advocate Jelena Dokic shares the tools and insights that helped her reclaim her life – and shows you how to do the same.

Her approach is built on four essential pillars:

- Shattering the myth of perfection
- Vulnerability as a superpower
- Finding self-worth
- Practising acceptance

Grounded in lived experience – from adversity in Jelena's tennis career to the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father to the body shaming and trolling she received online – Live Free offers honest guidance, practical tools and simple exercises to help you break old patterns and move forward with confidence.

No matter where this book finds you – on your darkest day or in the messy midst of healing – you are not alone. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed or held back by your past, there is another way forward.

A way to lead with kindness.

To find strength in vulnerability.

To let go of perfection and build a sense of self-worth so you can live free from shame.
