After a good hearty chat with Michael O'Brien about finding life-long love the old school way with a personals ad in the newspaper (we never quite know where a conversation might start or finish on this show hey) we get into talking about life.

The only thing scarier than almost dying can surely be the thought of only almost living, right? When I speak to people like Michael who have been landed with a pretty heavy hit from life and almost had theirs taken in the process, it leaves me wondering how many of us are only ‘almost living’ our whole lives. Living with worry, anxiety and fear around things that perhaps don’t really matter. Michael and I unpack how a near-fatal cycling accident shifted his entire perspective on life, work, and chasing that ever-elusive 'happiness.' He takes us through his journey from corporate hustle and grind to a life grounded in mindfulness, gratitude, and living fully in each moment. We also dig into his post-accident recovery, both physically and mentally, and how he found peace and purpose through small, daily practices like his life-changing ‘Pause, Breathe, Reflect’ method. From redefining success to embracing life's imperfections, Michael’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes you’ve got to get knocked down to rise stronger than ever.

Whether you’re a workaholic, a cyclist, or just someone who needs to slow the hell down, this conversation is for you (and certainly me).
