In this episode we discuss Annie's journey to becoming one of the most feared goal scorers within the Women's National League. We delve deep into all the trials, tribulations and blessings about becoming a mother as well as the stigma behind how it can affect a women's career, that most don't think about. We also speak about Annie's battle with alopecia and scoliosis.

What would you do if you were made to choose between stopping something you love and becoming a parent? Growing up can be difficult enough but, when you're diagnosed with an auto immune disease that makes this more difficult, how does one cope? What does it really feel like when you have that "Pinch me, this doesn't feel real" moment?

A huge thank you to Annie for coming onto the podcast to talk about challenges and successes that many women face which I know no doubt, will help break stigmas, inspire many and get more people talking. Hopefully Annie has paved the way for not only women to continue to go and pursue their dreams regardless of the environment but also for more women to come onto the podcast to tell their incredible story.

In this episode we discuss mens mental health and the ways we can create a better and more supportive environment for them to be more authentic. We delve deep into the simple balance todays generation misunderstand the motto "It's okay not to be okay." Is there a trend with those that struggle with addiction and what is the recovery process like?

What is the simple thing men do that they think is right however, get so wrong? What can you do to support a man you love that is struggling to open up? Do men really need to be strong all the time?

A massive thank you to Seb for this empowering, enlightening and real honest conversation that reiterated to me just how crucial communication and our authentic morals are. If you can take a few things away from todays episode its: Tell someone close to you, that you're grateful for them, organise a coffee with someone and encourage a real honest conversation. Finally stop being so stubborn and "strong" all the time, be vulnerable as all you're doing is affecting your relationships negatively.

In this episode we discuss the challenges that women's football faces and what makes the game truly special. We delve into the life of all the struggles Jamie has faced off the pitch with loss and how he found a new positive perspective from what was his worst day.

How far can one act of generosity go? Just how important is it to be truly self aware and to question deeply why things actually happen in our life? What is the catalyst that will help grow the women's game to another level?

This was an incredibly inspiring conversation with Jamie that made me ask myself more deep and meaningful questions and reaffirmed why we should be more grateful every single day. If there's two things you can do from this episode its "Ask yourself what you are truly grateful for today. Secondly if you've had one person that's given you an opportunity out of nowhere, let them know that you are grateful for it."

In this episode we discuss exactly what you need to know to hack your mindset, how to be your most authentic self as well as build happier and more successful relationships. We also discuss Carltons passions as well as the legacy he is trying to leave through his business ventures.

How do you know when you're experiencing unacceptable behaviours within your relationships? What should we be asking ourselves each and every day to help ourselves feel happier and more fulfilled? Should you accept income for your business if it doesn't sit right with your values?

This conversation completely changed the way I think as well as given me a new perspective on questions I should be asking myself each and every day. If there's one thing you can take away from this episode is... Each and every thing you do, always ask yourself "Does this sit within my own values?"

When you sustain an injury that quite literally changes your vision on life that's been covering up a long standing, sub conscious, hidden addiction. Do you believe you are truly a person with good morals? Just what impact can doing one good deed have on someones life? What is life like as a professional footballer?

In this episode we discuss the struggles of addiction, the reality of prison life. We also speak about women's football and all the stigmas they still face. We discuss how he turned his life around and found his identity after being lost for several years.

Marks story is one that will have significant impact and inspire many people. If you can take one thing from this episode its that regardless of what you've been through, you can still quite literally live the life you've always wanted and can still pursue your dreams.

Sometimes in life, pressure can become too much to handle. Do you ever find yourself comparing others to you? Do you ever feel like you cannot speak to anyone about the troubles you find yourself in? What happens when this continually occurs over a long period of time and you don't see a way out?

This is an episode that will no doubt have a huge impact on many others and will hopefully showcase the need for such a conversation surrounding depression, the pressures of life and suicide. Do you think most suicide attempts are regretted once attempted? What would happen to those around us after its attempted.

Massive thank you to Tom for breaking these stigmas around suicide and mental health. These conversations are needed due to the amount of silent warriors suffering out in the world and by Tom kindly sharing his story, I hope it will inspire others to reach out for help and save a lot more people that are suffering.

If you can do one thing after this episode, it is simply check in on those around you as you may not truly know they are struggling.
