#51: Daragh Fleming: Normalising Conversations About Mental Health
Darragh is a poet, an author, a public speaker, and a mental health advocate. We chat about so many important topics in this episode, including: How Daragh's passion for mental health advocacy started through the loss of his friend to suicide His own personal struggles with depression Emotional numbness and repressed emotion How creativity saved him Building a mental health routine Normalising conversations about mental health How raw, authentic, and vulnerable conversation with others is so important and also so healing His experience with being blackmailed for nudes and how he dealt with it How Daragh unintentionally realised he had ADHD and how it affects him 'Let The Light Pour In' The thing I love most is his openness and willingness to help others by sharing his story so beautifully. His poems have me in tears on the regular… so raw, so authentic, so beautiful, and so relatable. He actually reads one of his poems at the end of this episode. Daragh and I connected online about 8 years ago and finally met in person for the first time … it did not disappoint!

#50: Sophia Harris: From Pain to Purpose - How Sophia Overcame Eating Disorders, Exercise Addiction, Mental Health Struggles, and Abuse
Such a raw, honest, and incredibly inspiring episode with Sophia Harris. Sophia is a nutritionist and food relationship coach. The information she shares around this is invaluable, but I think the real gold in this episode comes from Sophia opening up about her own struggles and how she has overcome them. Sophia has suffered from anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia, exercise addiction, mental health struggles, and abuse. She has been through so much but has survived, and is now thriving. Her experiences, and overcoming them, are what drive her passion to help others. I think the vulnerability and rawness that Sophia brings to the table here can help so many people who find themselves in similar situations. This conversation will give people hope that they too can get through whatever challenges they are facing.

Such an incredible back-and-forth with Dan Campion. This conversation was just so good. Dan is a top lad, but whatever you do, don’t tell him I said that! We chat about so many invaluable topics including the story behind Dan pursuing his passion, our journeys to developing self-awareness, continually cultivating personal responsibility, our quest for constant self-development, and what happiness means to us. If you generally want to be a healthier, happier, more positive human then you’ll love this one.

#48: You Are Not Broken, You're Just Following A Flawed System
This episode came off the back of a chat I had with a client of mine. She came away from our conversation realising that she was never the problem, she wasn't broken, she had just been following flawed systems. In this episode, I first chat about this topic from a weight loss point of view. Why you've never been able to achieve long-term weight loss in the past! Not because your body is broken or because there is something wrong with you, but because you've been following flawed systems. A system that's been sold to you by people trying to make money, people with no regard for others! I also chat about this topic on a deeper level ... surprise surprise! I talk about how society has sold us a story about how to live our lives, and what will make us happy. How we've been pushed and pressed into a mold that society considers acceptable, and why this is probably making you miserable. It's a flawed system! The beauty of this episode is that I also show you how to change. It's not easy, it's never going to be easy, but it is worth it. Please have the courage to change ... and don't go back. Ultimately, I want you to live the life that you want to live, and not the life that others want you to live. Enjoy lads, and please share with someone who you think is ready to change their lives too x

#47: Paul Scanlon: The Journey To Self-Discovery
This is such a profound chat with Paul Scanlon. This episode will help you on your journey to self-discovery… but only if you’re brave enough! We go so deep into self-awareness, personal growth, personal responsibility, and working towards the authentic self. We also chat about unlearning and reframing, out-growing old versions of ourselves and outgrowing other people, the lonely chapter, and fitting in versus belonging. This episode is heavy but it’s one not to be missed. Head over to Paul's Instagram for more: https://www.instagram.com/paulscanlonuk/?hl=en
