On todays episode of Long Story Short, Vicky sits down with  Justin Caffrey.

Justin is a certified Health & Wellness coach and is one of Europe's leading minds in resilience, leadership, business strategy, radical transparency, psychological safety and practical neuroscience. He holds a Master's in Psychological Interventions using Neuroscience and Mindfulness and is one of the few Westerners to have endured a week-long training with monks in the remote mountains of Northern Japan.

On today’s podcast, Justin shares with us his advice on leaning in to facing life’s challenges as well as how his highly driven personality & successful career was a way for him to avoid grieving the loss of his son Joshua for many years.

This eventually led to him having a panic attack during a business meeting. This was the moment Justin decided to take action by asking for help with his mental health.

So despite this being a very tragic topic, Justin describes his son’s death as somewhat of a blessing as this made him realize the importance of slowing down and living in the present moment.

Justin’s story is really inspiring and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did chatting.

One of the main reasons I decided to start this podcast was because I wanted to launch something that was really informative but also full of fun & interesting chit chat.

I’m a big talker myself (if you haven’t already realized) but I also love to learn & listen from people that are incredibly smart and have some really interesting stories. Which is why over the next few weeks I’ve got some brilliant conversations coming your way from leading experts in the fitness industry.

I will also be sharing some of my own and very personal experiences, especially when it comes to my health and fitness journey. Many of you may know my background, however, many of you may not but I guess you could say it is pretty interesting.

My aim with this podcast is for you to gain as much knowledge as possible about how to create a healthy lifestyle that is both enjoyable & sustainable. And yes, that is very possible!

So if you’re looking for a podcast that touches on all aspects of health & wellness, as well as a show that feels like you’re catching up with your best friend, grab a cup of tea because this is the one for you.
