Following her retirement, the AFLW came calling, and Bríd, along with her husband and young son, made the bold move to Australia to pursue a new sporting challenge. However, her journey took a devastating turn when she suffered a serious injury in a pre-season competition, breaking a vertebra in her back.

Beyond her sporting achievements, Bríd has been a powerful advocate for women’s health, speaking openly about her experiences with miscarriage and the crucial role sport played in helping her through those difficult times. She has shone a light on the struggles many women face, including close friends, in their journey to conceive, using her platform to foster support and awareness.
