In this episode I discuss Battle Scars; an inspiring book about male mental health written by former SAS soldier Jason Fox. In the book, he discusses adapting to civilian life, struggling with PTSD & the therapy he undertook to find his way once more along with the positive direction his life has taken since.

A celebration of feeling good. In previous episodes I've spoken about why I've felt like crap, it's the other side of the coin today, with 5 reasons I'm feeling emotionally stable & happy at the end of July.

Update on emotional lull. Difficult, sensitive & important discussion on the issue of cluster suicides in society today, inspired by the wonderful film I Used To Live Here by Irish film maker Frank Berry.

Celebrating the work of singer-songwriter Nick Drake & his album Five Leaves Left which I revisited to help get me through a bad patch. I look at what his artistry means to me; what I appreciated then & what I appreciate now.

A football special. I speak about the article I wrote for extratime.ie in which I address the emotional struggles I had in my early days as a coach with Shels 1st team. I focus on the high profile players who have very openly about dealing with mental health issues. Also I look at the superb poem Denis Prose which is an anagram for depression, written by footballer Marvin Sordell.

In this episode I talk about sickness...literally! I celebrate being well...literally! I talk about the new challenge running 247km in 72 hours.

In this episode I revisit the discussion about prejudice having read the book The Choice by Philly McMahon. I talk about what I'm learning about 'purpose' in life & how it's a constant point of concentration. On a lighter note I talk about Wolverine in a musical!
