'I'm NOT just a MUM'

THERE AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH FOR THE FORMER BARDOT FRONTWOMAN

When you’re trekking, climbing, balancing, and swinging your way through 180 kilometres of tough terrain to reach 2400 metres in New Zealand’s South Island, the tears will flow, naturally.

But what’s essential for any great physical and mental endeavour is a great soundtrack, which is where Tiffani Wood comes in. As a former member of Aussie girl band, Bardot, the 46-year-old has some pipes on her – and while it’s easy to picture her spinning around on a mountain top Sound of Music style, Wood’s journey on The Summit was more cathartic than theatrical. As a mother of six, Wood has put her career, and life, on the backburner for more than a decade. Now, she’s reclaiming her sense of self, one treacherous step at a time. “I thought, you know what? I don’t care anymore. I just want to do something for me.”
