The Comeback Mindset

In this episode of Through The Eyes of Adversity, I sit down with Ste Holland to hear his incredible story — from a troubled childhood, to serving on front-line combat operations across the world with the army, to now making life-or-death decisions that determine whether millions of people in Gaza have food on their tables. Ste’s journey and achievements could never be fully captured in just 40 minutes, but we’ve done our best to give you a glimpse into his extraordinary life and selfless mission. In recent years, he’s worked on the ground in places like Ukraine and Gaza, bringing aid to countless people — many of them children. His tireless humanitarian efforts have even been featured on programmes such as ITV News. I hope this conversation helps shine an even brighter light on the incredible, life-changing work Ste is doing. #army #humanitarian #food #adversity #help

In this episode of Through The Eyes of Adversity, I sat down with Darcy Coss. Darcy grew up with a passion for basketball and played the sport right up to a great level. However, his time playing the sport was cut short by something all too common to so many people - back pain and dealing with sciatica. He talks all about the mental health battles and physical battles he went through to get to where he is now helping others.

In this episode of Through The Eyes of Adversity, I sat down with Rob McMurdo. Rob talks about his journey from finding out he had testicular cancer, the diagnosis, his recovery process, and how it helped pivot his life in a positive way with the power of exercise. Not only did Rob decide he was going to start running, but he turned it into his career as a running coach, and he mow inspires and helps others. Have a listen to Rob's inspirational story.

In this episode, I was able to speak Dr Mark Martin, Founder of We Track Health. We discuss topics on Inflammatory Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis.

It was an honour to sit down with Loz Moore and talk about his amazing journey from leading a life preparing for the military, serving in the military, and going on to be part of a brilliant group of people who set up Cockleshell 22.

This is a group of former Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, and British Army veterans who provide UK and overseas expeditions based in historic military raids, and it provides people a place to come together and experience something special helping them both physically and mentally.

Loz is an inspirational leader, and he has an amazing story. It was an honour to listen and be part of the process of sharing this.

It was great to sit down with former LFC midfielder Kevin Stewart in the latest episode of Through The Eyes of Adversity.

As successful as a footballing career Kevin had, in the theme of my podcast, we got to speak about how he dealt with moments of adversity in life both on and off the pitch.

It was really interesting to understand how he managed the pressures of playing at the top level of football around some of the best players in the world. How he bounced back through difficult periods of his career and how his mentality helped him achieve so much.

With all of Kevin's experience, he now helps so many people around the world reach their own potential in life wether that be in business, sport or even as parents.

I am just truly grateful to have spent the time together in this podcast, and I hope everybody else enjoys it, too.

in this episode I sat down with Chris Beavers, also known as Farther Fit PT.

Chris spoke about his experience becoming a new Dad during Covid and how he fell into the common situation of letting go of his fitness routines and not prioritising his own health. This is all common, leading to the well know phrase - Dad Bod. But its more than just a physique problem.

Once you become a Dad it can be easy for a lot of people to forget who they used to be. You may not be able to live the same life prior to kids, however it can be the perfect time to start thinking about your health.

Chris helps Dad's feel at their best and we talk about some of the most common things Dad's face daily including himself. We talk about why its good to set the right example for our kids when it comes to habits, movement and nutrition.

As always, I'm so grateful for people believing in the mission of my podcast and coming on to share their own experience of overcoming difficult periods of life and how exercise, nutrition, and healthy habits help them.

Episode 15 will be out this Sunday, and if I can just ask people to follow my page and subscribe to the YouTube channel in my bio, it really does go a long way to supporting the podcast and it helps get more eyes on the amazing guests - Thank you!
