In this episode, I sit down with Watto to explore the deeper meaning of movement and the role it’s played throughout his life. From growing up in Ireland, where the weather and environment often restricted activity, to discovering the freedom and outdoor lifestyle of Australia, we unpack how place and culture can completely reshape your relationship with movement.

Watto shares how movement has been more than just exercise. It has been a source of fuel, discipline, and even healing through tough times. We dive into the environments that shape us, from joining a run club to leading one, and how ultra running became more than just a physical challenge, offering purpose and perspective far beyond the finish line.

We talk gratitude, positivity, and what it really means to be a product of your environment. Watto reflects on the community and sense of belonging movement has given him, as well as the tough question: what actually is Watto's why for his One Hundred Mile Ultra.

This conversation is about so much more than sport or fitness... it’s about identity, resilience, and the power of movement to transform our lives.

In this episode of The Moore Than Just Movement Podcast, we sit down with Lana from LAB (Live and Breathe) to explore the powerful connection between movement, identity, and healing.

We begin with the story behind LAB and how the brand came to life, the values it was built on, and the deeper meaning behind "living and breathing" through every chapter of life.

In the second half of the episode, we shift into a raw and deeply personal conversation around miscarriage and grief.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey with alcohol and how it became a crutch after losing my dad, and the role it played in shaping (and masking) parts of my identity for years.

This isn’t a lecture. I’m not here to tell you to stop drinking.

I’m here to share the real story behind the nights out, the internal battles, and the quiet moments that led me to step away from alcohol, and eventually, to find something far more powerful in its place.

I talk honestly about grief, identity, people-pleasing, and the turning point that changed everything. And I share how replacing big nights out with early morning runs and real connection helped me start living with more clarity, purpose, and peace.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, felt out of alignment, or struggled to feel like yourself in social settings, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Moore Than Movement Podcast, I open up about an emotion and feeling that movement alone can’t fix... imposter syndrome and a lack of self-belief.

I share honestly about the patterns I’ve been working through in therapy... abandonment fears, mistrust, and pessimism and how these beliefs show up in my life, from launching this podcast to creating projects I care deeply about.

I talk about why, even though movement has always been my medicine, no amount of training can replace true self-belief, and what I’m committing to in order to rewrite these patterns moving forward.

If you’ve ever felt like a fraud, doubted your worth, or expected the worst to protect yourself this episode is for you. Remember, you’re not alone in this.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Tay Jenkins... ultra runner, triathlete, and Hyrox athlete to unpack her powerful journey with movement.

Tay shares what movement truly means to her, how it has evolved over the years, and why she first started running. She opens up about the life-changing impact of joining a run club, finding a supportive community, and pushing herself to new limits.

We dive deep into her experience with injury, from the shock of her stress fracture to the emotional challenges of having movement taken away, and the inner growth she experienced during that time.

Tay also talks about navigating heartbreak and big life changes, and how doing hard things physically has helped her do hard things emotionally too.

This is a conversation about resilience, identity, and finding purpose through movement – even when it’s taken away.

In this episode, I sit down with my amazing wife to talk about her powerful journey with movement, nutrition, and health.

Ciara shares openly about what movement has meant to her throughout her life and why she chose to study nutrition in the first place.

She dives into her personal struggles with food, body image, and training, and how these challenges shaped the way she views nutrition today.

One of the most vulnerable parts of her story is when she lost her period due to under-fuelling while training hard. She talks about what was happening at that time, how it impacted her physically, mentally, and emotionally, and what she did to regain her cycle.

We also talk about how this experience changed her perspective on fuelling her body and how it led her to want to help others find balance with their food, health, and training.

If you’ve ever pushed yourself too hard, felt disconnected from your body, or struggled with food and hormone health, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I open up about my journey into endurance events and how running became my outlet after losing my dad in 2015. From my first marathon to a brutal 48-hour Goggins-style challenge, to becoming an amateur triathlete, I share how movement helped me process pain, confront grief, and rebuild my identity.

This isn't just about going the distance... it's about what happens inside us when we stay in discomfort, when we face ourselves at 2am, and when we realise we’re not just running for the finish line, but for healing.

We’ll talk about the mental shifts that come with endurance, the unexpected connections found in struggle, and why I believe movement can be a form of medicine... if you let it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or like you needed to find yourself again... this one’s for you.

In this first episode, I open up about my personal journey — how I lost my dad to suicide in 2015 and how that moment changed everything. I talk about what it was like to grow up fast, carry pain I didn’t know how to talk about, and eventually find movement as a way to feel again.

This episode is raw, honest, and from the heart. I share how movement became more than just something I did — it became the way I processed grief, reconnected with myself, and found community.

This podcast isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about having real conversations around the power of movement and how it connects us — physically, mentally, and socially.

Whether you’ve experienced grief, felt lost, or just needed a space to heal, this episode is for you.
