Just Keep Going

Trigger warning-

On this episode I discuss my take on men's mental health after my lived experiences losing my partner who struggled with mental health.

I talk about how I see it, how I raise my sons and also challenge you to think about how you contribute to problems or solutions in tackling the epidemic that is men's suicide.

Please listen to this as a woman, as a mother, as a partner, a sister, a wife, a daughter. The men we love in our life need us, so let's do more. xo

I chat to Claire one of my high school friends about her journey to motherhood and the struggles and trauma she experienced with pregnancy loss and an ectopic pregnancy.

I never had fertility issues and didn't realise the extent of it until working closely with women in their health and fitness and hearing first hand how difficult and traumatic this can be.

We cover her story, her feelings and I also ask how we can support women going through this.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this episode if you have had a similar experience, OR just learnt something new which can help you navigate supporting friends or family who might be going through something like this.

This is a special one for me... my daughter turned 20 in feb so she really is an official adult now.

We talk about her childhood and what type of mother I was. We touch on her experience going through so much loss at a young age, and the tough times we had together.

Even though we have a sad story, we also have lots of joy.

I am a little more healed after talking to her about this all. She told me things I never really knew.

I hope you like this one x

In this episode I discuss being an adult and navigating friendships and checking in not only for our own wellbeing, but for our friends as well.

I also issue you a little challenge to do today, or whenever you listen to this.

The stats are scary, and we can all do a little better in this department.

Let me know your thoughts or what you do, or how you go with the challenge!

This is a hard listen.

I do cry, a fair bit as I try to explain my feelings and the grief I went through, and still navigate.

Around the 28 minute mark is where the coaching session with Levi begins. @awaken_her

I am so pumped for you all to listen to this one.

Levi takes us through her journey of finding fitness as a mum of 1, to having an awakening during the birth of her 4th baby which led her to finding her true purpose.

Strap in, it is a long one but full of goodness and wisdom! So keen to hear what you think, or take away from the episode x @awaken_her

Welcome to another episode of Just Keep Going. 

In today’s episode I speak to Kasey who is an amazing mother of 2 who happened to join my boot camp years and years ago. 

Kasey and her sister Kara used to come and were so full of energy, and such a joy to be around. One day Kasey did mention to me she had been to rehab for drugs and I remember thinking, wow I never would have picked that about her. But then again, addiction doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to anyone. 

We have split this conversation into 2 episodes as it is a long one. In part 1 we go over what lead her to drugs and the slippery slope you can find yourself on when you just keep saying yes. Kasey also gives some amazing insight to what is going on inside the mind of an addict and I took so much from this as someone who was the partner of someone struggling with this as well. I am so deeply traumatised by my experiences and still have work to do in this area, but this conversation definitely gave me some healing. 

But I do just want to remind you that we do talk about sensitive topics around drug addiction so if this is something that may trigger you please listen to this in a safe space or reach out to someone you love after to chat about what may come up for you. 

I hope you enjoy. And please don’t forget to share with a friend or to your stories when you listen. I LOVE feedback so appreciate to hear it all. 

Feeling a little stressed out?

Or you are burning the candle at both ends?

In todays ep I revisit a coaching call I did with my clients on some practical ways to take a look at your stress levels so better your health.

Get your pen and paper ready, and come away with steps to start improving on this.

Don't forget to please subscribe to the pod and share with a friend!

I have a question for you… do you take your wellness for granted? The privilege to wake up each day and kiss your kids, sip on a coffee, walk to the toilet, even go to work?

What would you do if one day that was all taken from you?

In today’s conversation, I speak to KG who lost all of this after falling sick with a mystery illness. She also almost lost her life. 

But what I learnt from this amazing lady, is the power of having people around you who love you, a will to live and never giving up hope!

Don’t forget to share this with a friend and let us know what you took away from her courageous story.
