Stevie Ward, former rugby warrior joins us to share his transformative journey.

Stevie's story is not just about the physicality of sports but the mental battles that often go unseen. He opens up about the pressures of performance, the inner turmoil athletes face, and how he's now using his experiences to fuel a conversation on mental health and resilience that's long overdue.

In this episode, we engage with this paradox as Stevie recounts the moments of surrender that led to his most profound growth.

Stevie and I dissect what it means to captain not just a team, but one's own life, emphasizing the importance of empathy, listening, and the guts it takes to show up authentically.

Our discussion isn't just a tale of personal evolution; it's an invitation to embrace your story with equal parts courage and compassion. 

If you're ready for an inspiring session that interweaves the highs and lows of an athlete's heart with the universal quest for purpose and connection, then this episode promises a profound reflection on the resilience within us all.

Today, my guest Francesc Garrido, a distinguished actor from Spain,  offers a compelling insight into the world of acting.

He shares the journey of his most recent play 'L'alquimista' - a gripping exploration of challenging moral, philosophical and political themes.  This  conversation revolves around the toll and the recovery of such an emotionally demanding role.  

We discuss fear, making mistakes, managing nerves, being present, vulnerability, all topics which both are fascinating as they are challenging, but the sign of someone who is well aware of themselves and the value they have.  

I got lost in this conversation, the outside world stopped. But this is Fransec, a true professional that has the personality to draw you into his story,  should you wish to pull up a seat.

Enjoy!
