  • My Journey to Coaching: Dealing with Life, Love and Death (with Wayne Cullen)
    Trigger Warning - Grief/Bereavement 
    Content Warning - Swearing 
    * 
    "Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them" - Sir John Whitmore 
    A more in depth definition of Coaching from 'Real Coaching For You'. 
    Today we're speaking to a passionate coach and Menfulness advocate, Wayne Cullen. We get into coaching and what it means to us both. We also hear about how Wayne found coaching, what he's working on including an introduction to his 'Pioneering Men' concept. Wayne bravely and honestly shares with us his struggle with the death of his brother and how he dealt with that part of his life, so please be aware of that before listening if that might trigger something you're going through.   After listening why not visit Wayne's website to learn more or consider having three free sessions via Menfulness.org/coaching.

  • More in Common, Menfulness and Me (with Pete Quinn)

    TW - Baby Loss/Bereavement

    *

    It's hard to state just how awesome Pete Quinn really is. He's a consultant, coach, speaker and leader. He's an Inclusion Consultant and he's out there working in the education, tech, corporate and arts sectors making meaningful change and harnessing the power of diversity. Pete's consultancy strap-line is 'change through collaboration' and in this episode we learn how challenges have become opportunities, inclusion became a living, and Menfulness became a part of Pete's giving back.

    We travel from Birstall to York, with Tanzania and Oxford on the way! We hear that you don't need a regular upbringing to find a meaningful vocation in life. We also understand.a bit more about how Pete found Menfulness and why he's so generous with his time and support. 

    We're so grateful to have Pete on board advising our group and his honesty in this conversation is truly inspiring. Find out more about Pete's work at https://petequinnconsulting.co.uk/

  • Days of My Life: Hustling, Healing and Helping Others (with Aidan Wheller)

    TW - Drugs (Overdose)/Bereavement/Suicide

    CW: Swearing

    *

    Menfulness member and volunteer Aidan shares some stories from his new auto-biographical podcast, 'Days of My Life'. 

    Aidan's journey has taken him from 90s dance-floors, drug dealing and ditches of Nottingham, to the beaches of India, self-actualisation and finding his purpose to help others. 

    Aidan has been through more in his teenage years than many will experience in a lifetime and even though we only scratch the surface in this chat, his frank honesty and light hearted ownership of his past life is both eye opening and life-affirming to hear. We learn the importance of self awareness, finding a place where you belong and that it's never too late to turn things around and find a way back to where we're supposed to be. 

    We're so grateful to have Aidan as part of our group. Please go check out his podcasts - 'Aidan Rosewell' on Youtube.
