#54 - London Marathon and Hyrox Mindset

First off apologies for any coughs and sniffs this episode was recorded whilst battling a cold as you will no doubt hear about throughout.


A few of you have asked a bout a pre and post Marathon/Hyrox podcast so here comes your pre episode.


It feels self indulgent but I hope it is helpful and provides you clarity on your goals and confidence that we all battle mentally with you our own demons as we look to improve and chase down new challenges.


So nothing left to do but to do it London I'm coming for you!

#49 - Where Focus goes Energy Flows

#49 - Where Focus goes Energy Flows

This weeks podcast is a recording of a webinar I filmed so you can choose to watch it on you tube or listen via podcast. 

I wanted to talk about the importance of what might seem the small stuff, the stuff that gets overlooked whilst prioritising training, but actually the important roll it can play. 

Stress, sleep, movement and nutrition... plus much much more.

#47 - Anxiety Around Lockdown Easing

Thank you for so much feedback, positivity and support following the latest podcast episode. 


This week I am bringing a requested topic to the table and one that I really think I break down in a clear and concise manor. We are all creatures of habit and we have all had our lives changed in a number of differing ways for over a year now and the thought of normality probably doesn't even make sense right now. 

Take you time, move through the roadmap gear by gear, have conversations, communicate your feelings and if you think you really need help/support then reach out to a support structure. 


The same goes for any goals you may have achieved or want to achieve go forwards, look at the habits/routines that they need, can you balance it whilst enjoying life and decide what you fundamentally want as a person. 


You have more control than you realise!!

#45 - Life is Beautiful with Terri from The Positive Movement Project

#45 - Life is Beautiful with Terri from The Positive Movement Project

Wow! What an Episode.

Terri has an incredible story to tell and for me the beauty lies in her reaction, her decisions and her drive for life following the events that happened to her and her young family. To say she is a strong and inspirational women would be a disservice to Terri. 

So many things can happen to us in life and the important fact that we can control is how we react to them and Terri talks about how she reacted to her 20 month old daughters Cancer diagnosis, losing her home and transitioning into being a single parent. In a year that has had so many of us wondering what next, Terri has qualified as a PT and launched The Positive Movement Project which has already started supporting so many with their Mental-Wellbeing at such a crucial time, and the project is only going to get bigger and better as restrictions lift and its true effects can start reaching people. 


We talk through running, how to support your own mental-wellbeing and much much more. It's honestly one of my favourite conversations so far!!

Wow! Where do I start?

You find out more about Tom's Trust at the below link too 

https://www.facebook.com/TomsTrustPsychology/

I have known Ben for a few years now and he is someone who undoubtedly gives 110% into everything he does, and he certainly does a lot! We started this podcast talking about his latest challenge, 31 Marathons in 31 days through December 2020. What a way to finish the year, a year that has been challenging for all. Completing 31 Marathons in 31 days in this podcast Ben discusses the mindset, the prep, the Nutriton, how the event became something much much bigger than he could have ever imagined, pain, suffering, the weather and much more. I can't wait for you to hear all about it!! 


We also discussed some of Ben's previous challenges, how he got into running, what he thinks is next for him and we finished with some incredibly wise words and words that I think will inspire everyone who listens to this podcast. 


Share this podcast far and wide, on Instagram and Facebook because this is story that needs to heard and a Charity that will benefit hugely from all the support it can receive. If you want to reach out to Ben or myself our socials are below:

#21 - Coping with life changing events, what on earth stress even is and how can we understand it with Dr Bernadette Dancy.

When you record a podcast and you literally can't wait for it to be out in the big wide world! This sis that episode!! We could have talked for hours and I'm sure we will do a part 2 one day as well! 

So Bernie is a Health & Lifestyle Coach, Running Coach, amazing mum of 2, Asics Ambassador and so much more. With a Phd in Sports Psychology and and a Masters in Lifestyle Medicine which together Bernie combines into her Body and Mind approach to coaching she truly is an expert in the topics we discussed.

Bernie kindly talks you through her own incredible journey which I found emotional and how that spurred her to make the career change from academia to the coaching she does today. 


We covered running and its positive effects on mental health to start and spoke about how running needs to implemented with a plan like everything else, especially right now. 

We then went on to discuss what stress actually is and how we can understand our of own thresholds and red flags, specifically from a mental health point of view. 

The stress bucket analogy we focussed on paints such a clear a picture and we discussed varying tools and tactics you can use to manage your own individual bucket. we spoke about a vide on YouTube which demonstrates this and that is linked below 

https://youtu.be/ld5JypUYT-o

Bernie provided some great references to books which are linked below along with her instagram and website, which I have no doubt you will be looking into after listening to this.

EP18: Understanding Menopause plus a Q&A with Dr Hannah Short (Specialist in Menopause and Premenstrual Disorders)

EP18: Understanding Menopause plus a Q&A with Dr Hannah Short (Specialist in Menopause and Premenstrual Disorders)

Wow, where to begin.... This podcast is worth every single second plus 10x over. Hannah truly is an expert when it comes to all things female hormonal health and she provided information, care, support, answers to all our questions and gave tips both holistically and mendicity throughout this podcast. 

We went over the stages of the Menopause journey and how that can vary so much person to person, symptoms, signs, and tips for dealing with them. We always highlighted that if any of your symptoms are severe you were unsure on anything to speak to your GP or seek outs Hannah's support at her private clinic, which at present is operating through video conferences. 

Hannah provided so many examples of the websites to go to in order to gain a further understanding on certain topics and they are listed below including her website first as I really do think reading through the information on there is a great starting point. 

I am incredibly honoured that Hannah took the time out of her busy GP and Private Practice schedule in order to answer the wonderful questions that had been asked and I truly hope that the information shared by Hannah in the podcast is helpful in many ways to the women that will no doubt listen to it.

You can also find the link to Hannah’s business Facebook account below too should you wish to contact her further and she shares a superb information all for free to that page which may continue to help you after this podcast.
