I strongly believe that mental and physical fitness go hand in hand. To me this balance is fundamental for my health and wellbeing as well as being there and showing up for those that are important to me. Almost 8 years ago I was on the edge of taking my own life. It was a cry for help. I had a stark realization that the only person who could really save me, was me. That's not to say that there is

n't support & help out there, I took it step by step, first by being vulnerable & letting down the mask, then taking action towards change...

Now with 6 years+ experience working with thousands of people to facilitate, help, support and guide them to a healthier, happier life. Qualifications I hold include:

VS LIFE representing on our home turf & hats off to the organisers, was fantastic to see the town buzzing. So many humans showing up for themselves, each other & causes that reach fair & wide ❤️

I’ll be honest, I’ve been training these Dads & Lads for sometime (over 2 years for some of them). And so I felt a bit of pressure to lead by example - I’m a huge advocate of nasal breathing, I was able to keep it nasal until the last 800 meters or so when I was blowing out my a*** always got to finish strong.

Seeing each one of them over the line, as ever was an honour. So proud of the men they are.

We are a community who give a s**t (and do the odd one in nature 😜)

😉❤️👊

Behind every great man is a great woman.

For me this couldn’t be truer.

Saying I’m a great man sparks discomfort of sorts. Acknowledgment that I am feels like the ego is boasting. And yet I’m leaning to accept that I am. I actually believe everyone is great. Straight up, deep down everyone just wants to love & be loved. And what’s greater than that.

Anyway, back to the point of this reflection, taking a breath on my 45th Birthday run earlier this month, I want to acknowledge my Mrs.

Take this as a prompt to BIG up your angel today

Change is f*cking daunting. I’ve made a BIG one recently.

As humans our instincts are going to want safety first. And yet I believe this is holding people back from their true potential.

I also appreciate that circumstances, experiences, responsibilities can influence our decisions.

However in my opinion we all need to take more risks.

This past decade have taught me so much, it’s giving me a tone or learnings. Now it’s time to reinvest this & continue to grow what I believe is my purpose & mission.

Bring on the second half mate 😉❤️👊

Very much in two minds with posting this. I know my intentions are from love and so I listened to that.

The other week I spent an evening with a large room of Dads & Lads who all chose to be there. Every one of these men seriously pushing the comfort to listen & learn about the biggest killer of our age group.

Honestly, I was worried that attending might be triggering. A decade ago I was experiencing severe suicidal thoughts which took me to the very edge. Everyone knows someone that has ended their own lives. It’s devastating.

delivered a super impactful & useful workshop. An opportunity to flex the listening reflex which by default for us men isn’t natural - we want to fix, find solutions & just crack on with s***
(I’ve shared the listening wheel, something they use & we got to practice).

The recent campaign by provides a perspective that so many of us men can relate to. It’s proper f****** powerful (I’ve taken a clip here but search for it & watch it all).

I’m proud to be part of this inspiring community & my hope is that many other men’s communities follow suit.

😉❤️👊
