Support Local.

I always try to shop local where I can. Here are just a few things I buy locally or from Irish owned brands:

•Honey. I love checking out local markets, and if I spot honey made nearby, I’ll always pick up a jar.

•Soap & Deodorant. I use , an Irish brand that makes great natural products.

•Meat. I get mine from .b.butchers in Kildare Town. It’s a lovely, family run spot with a great selection. Their cooked chicken is genuinely the best I’ve had in Ireland.

•Matcha & Babychinos. in Kildare Town is my go to. Super friendly staff, a relaxed vibe, and I usually grab a matcha latte with almond milk and vanilla syrup. (Don’t judge till you try!)

•Fruit. I often buy from roadside stalls or local markets in Kildare. Always fresh and seasonal.

•Eggs . Butler’s Organic Eggs from Carlow are my regular pick.

•Bread, Wraps & Sometimes Fruit. I get these from in Naas, great quality and taste.

I’m sure there are more things I choose locally or from Irish producers. For me, it’s not just about food quality, it’s about building relationships with small businesses, supporting real people, and standing against the big corporations that often crowd out independent shops through sheer greed.

So if you can, think about supporting local, even a little makes a difference.

And if there’s something I’ve missed that you think I could be buying locally, or if you have a great Irish product you recommend, let me know! I’d love to hear what local gems you support.

Let’s talk about something most of us go through but don’t always say out loud: how we’re really doing.

If you’ve ever felt the Monday blues hit hard, you’re not alone. From what I’ve seen, a lot of people reach out for therapy on Mondays, maybe something over the weekend brought up some tough emotions, or maybe it was a rough couple of days with too much drinking, too little sleep, or just… life.

Here’s the truth:

Some days, you’re on top of everything. Other days, just getting out of bed feels like an accomplishment, and honestly, it is.

And that’s completely OK.

Mental health isn’t about being happy 24/7. It’s about being real with yourself. It’s knowing when to pause, when to ask for help, and giving yourself grace when things feel heavy.

A few things to remember:
✨ You don’t have to have it all figured out.
✨ Taking a break doesn’t mean you’re failing.
✨ You deserve support, whatever you’re facing.

If today feels like a lot, you’re not broken. You’re human.

If you’re really going through it right now, please don’t try to carry it all alone. Reach out, there’s support out there, and people who genuinely care.

If you’re feeling like you can’t go on, like you’re about to make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion, pause. Just stay one more day. Then one more after that. Keep showing up, one day at a time.

Even if it doesn’t feel like it now, things can change. And they do. You’re not stuck. You’re not alone. And your story isn’t over yet. 💚

Let’s keep talking about this stuff, it matters more than we know.

Drop a 💚 if mental health matters to you, too.
Share with someone who could use a little reminder today.

Today I did my first parkrun. Here’s how it went:

Naas parkrun #485
⏱️ Time: 19:30
🏁 7th out of 178
🥈2nd in age group( VM40–44)
🎯 First parkrun + new parkrun PB

I aimed for sub 19 minutes, but honestly, I hadn’t earned it. Since my dad passed away three months ago, I told myself I’d train to cope, but instead, I practically stopped. Then COVID hit six weeks ago, and I couldn’t shake it for a few weeks.

Today, I didn’t run on fitness. I ran on pure stubbornness. My average heart rate was 180, maxed at 187, way above the “expected” for someone my age (43). Today’s parkrun reminded me of something simple but true: exercise is the fairest relationship, you get out what you put in.

I’ve spent the past few months dealing with waves of grief, mostly anger at the Irish healthcare system that failed my dad. But today, something shifted and parts of my competitive self switched back on.

I had nothing else to give today, but it was only through pushing to my limits, I realised that I still got fight in me. Adversity will show the real you.

The fire’s back.
I’m back.

When you get rejected, it often feels like confirmation of the doubts you already have about yourself.
“I’m not good enough.”
“I knew this would happen.”
“They saw what I’ve been trying to hide.”

But here’s the truth:
Rejection says more about the situation — the timing, the fit, the preferences — than it does about your worth.

What you believe about yourself gets louder in moments of rejection. That’s why it’s so important to build a stronger, kinder inner voice. One that says:
“I’m still valuable.”
“This doesn’t define me.”
“I’ll try again — and I’ll grow from this.”

Rejection isn’t a mirror. It’s a moment.
Don’t let it rewrite your story.

We live in a time where filters aren’t just for photos—they’re for personalities, conversations, and even values. Authenticity is praised, but rarely practiced. People smile when they want to scream, agree when they want to walk away, and post perfection while living in quiet chaos.

And in a world where masks are the norm, honesty feels like an attack.

Tell someone the truth—gently, respectfully—and suddenly you’re “rude,” “negative,” or “too much.” We’ve become so accustomed to sugarcoating and surface-level connection that realness feels abrasive.

But honesty isn’t cruelty. It’s clarity. It’s the courage to be transparent in a world that profits off pretending.

If your truth makes someone uncomfortable, that doesn’t make you wrong. It means you’re no longer participating in the performance. And that’s okay.

Let them be offended. Let them misunderstand. Stay real anyway.

In today’s world, it’s easy to get lost in our screens—scrolling, texting, watching, liking. But if you’re in a relationship, ask yourself: When was the last time you truly connected with your partner—face to face, without distractions?

Communication is the foundation of every healthy relationship. It’s how trust is built, problems are solved, and love is deepened. When we choose our phones over our partners, we send a subtle but powerful message: “What’s on this screen matters more than you do right now.”

That’s not love. That’s avoidance.

📌 Real communication means:
• Listening without distractions.
• Sharing feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
• Checking in emotionally, not just sending a text.
• Being present—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

Phones can connect us to the world, but they can also disconnect us from the person sitting right next to us.

So next time you’re with your partner, try this: put your phone away, make eye contact, and talk. Laugh. Ask questions. Be curious. Be there.

Because no number of likes or messages can replace the warmth of a genuine, in-person connection.

Love grows in conversation, not in notifications. 💬❤️

Accountability is crucial to self-awareness because it grounds introspection in truth and consequences. Here’s why it’s so important:

1. It Forces You to Confront Reality

Self-awareness without accountability risks becoming self-delusion. You might believe you’re being introspective, but without being held responsible—by yourself or others—there’s no check on whether your self-perceptions align with your actual behavior.

2. It Turns Insight Into Growth

You can recognize your flaws, patterns, or blind spots, but accountability is what pushes you to change. It transforms passive reflection into active responsibility. Without it, self-awareness becomes just a mirror—clear, maybe, but useless if you don’t step through it.

3. It Builds Integrity

Accountability reinforces consistency between who you think you are and how you actually behave. It ensures your values aren’t just internal ideals but are visible in your choices and relationships.

4. It Creates Feedback Loops

Others often help hold us accountable. That feedback—whether welcome or uncomfortable—deepens our understanding of ourselves. It challenges our biases and fills in the blind spots we can’t see on our own.

5. It Enables Trust

In any relationship—personal or professional—self-aware people who also hold themselves accountable are seen as trustworthy. They admit mistakes, learn from them, and don’t blame-shift or hide from consequences.

Accountability is the proof that your self-awareness isn’t just performance—it’s character.

With Father’s Day tomorrow, here’s something to keep in mind:

It’s a day to celebrate dads—plain and simple. It’s not a day for people to jump on their soapboxes, tear down men, or take aim at so-called “deadbeat dads” to make the day about themselves.

There’s a strange irony in watching people use Father’s Day to vent about their exes or air personal grievances about co-parenting. If someone needs to post publicly just to get attention or sympathy, that’s a huge red flag. And honestly, it’s no surprise some men don’t want to engage with that kind of energy.

Let’s keep things respectful—for the sake of the fathers and the children who want to honor them. Don’t turn the day into a platform for “poor me” posts or passive-aggressive digs. There are some truly great dads out there, and they deserve to be celebrated without drama.

To the social media warriors: take a breather. Let dads enjoy the spotlight for once. Resist the urge to make it about you.

Just a thought.

And to the men out there—if your partner is posting cryptic or bitter messages tomorrow, take it as a warning sign. If things go sideways, you’ll likely be next in line for those public call-outs. Trust me—run while you can.
