I’m Done! Now What?

Episode 286: Resilience at the Edge with Extreme Cold Water Swimmer Nuala Moore

Nuala Moore is an Irish open water swimmer and adventurer who has pushed human limits in some of the most extreme conditions on earth. With two Guinness World Records and decades of experience in the ocean, she’s learned what fear, discomfort, and resilience really mean.

In this episode, Nuala shares:

• What happens in the exact moment you face fear, and how to know if it’s protecting you or holding you back
  
  
• Why avoiding discomfort costs you more than facing it
  
  
• The lessons silence and solitude can teach when you’re stripped of all distraction
  
  
• The difference between just enduring and being truly resilient
  
  
• What the ocean has shown her about real limits — and the ones we create ourselves
  

A powerful conversation about resilience, choice, and the strength you only find at the edge.

• The moment I said “I’m done” — and what scared me most about giving it up
  
  
• The identity wobble that no one prepares you for

Episode 283: Busy Is Not the Problem — Let’s Talk Choices

In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest patterns that keeps women stuck: saying “life got in the way.”

But you know what? — life is always busy. There’s always something pulling at your attention. But skipping your workouts, dropping your routine, or abandoning your healthy habits is still a choice — and one that leaves you feeling worse.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about taking back your power.

You’ll learn:

• Why “life got in the way” is often a sign of deeper habits

• How to stay consistent even when things feel chaotic

• What to do when you're tempted to give up

This episode is your reminder that you can be fit and healthy even in a full, busy life — and that showing up because of the chaos (not in spite of it) is what changes everything.

Episode 282: 10 Brutal Reasons I Couldn’t Lose Weight

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, the weight just won’t shift? 

I know that feeling all too well. For years I was stuck in the same exhausting cycle of starting over every Monday, eating well for a while, then crashing back into stress, wine and sugar.

It wasn’t just about food or exercise. 

There were hidden reasons I couldn’t lose the weight, and in this episode I’m sharing the 10 most brutal ones. These are the habits, thoughts and patterns that kept me overweight and stuck, and the shifts that finally set me free.

Tune in because you’ll discover three big takeaways: the surprising reasons I couldn’t lose weight no matter how hard I tried, how stress and overwhelm had far more power over my weight than I realised, and the exact shifts I made that changed everything.

Episode 281: Wine, Stress, Food, Busyness… Avoidance Nearly Broke Me

Are you pouring a glass of wine, reaching for food, or keeping yourself endlessly busy just to cope?

I know what that feels like, because I did it too. Wine to switch off, food for comfort, busyness to avoid slowing down. I thought I was protecting myself from stress — but in reality, I was avoiding the deeper pain underneath. And it nearly broke me.

Here are 3 reasons to tune in:

• Discover the hidden ways avoidance might be showing up in your own life (without you even realising).
  
  
• Learn the real cost of numbing with wine, food, or busyness — and why it keeps you stuck.
  
  
• Hear what happened when I stopped running from stress and started facing it — and how you can do the same.
  
  

Avoidance feels easier in the short term, but it always comes at a high price. This episode will help you see what it might be costing you — and what’s possible when you choose a different way.

Episode 280: Are You Choosing Inner Excellence—or Settling for Mediocrity?

Most people want change… but when the discomfort comes, they quit.

You can either choose the temporary discomfort of building new habits — or live with the long-term discomfort of an unfulfilled, unhealthy, stuck life.

In this episode, I’m asking you straight: are you choosing inner excellence, or are you settling for mediocrity?

We’ll talk about:

• Why discomfort is the price of growth
  
  
• The difference between the short-term pain of new habits and the lifelong pain of staying stuck
  
  
• How to shift your mindset so you lean into the right kind of discomfort

Episode 279: You Can’t Get Organised If You Have No Boundaries — Here’s Where to Start

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to get organised… this episode is for you.

In today’s chat, I’m sharing why the real problem isn’t your time management or how busy you are — it’s your boundaries.

We’ll dive into the hidden ways you’re giving away your time and energy without even realising it, and why you keep saying yes when you know you should be saying no. I’ll walk you through three simple boundaries you can set this week that will instantly help you feel calmer, more in control, and finally able to focus on what matters to you.

This is the stuff no one teaches us — how to protect your time, your energy, and your emotional space without feeling guilty.

Episode 278: Exercise Feels Like a Chore? It’s Not Laziness — It’s This

Whether you’re showing up and doing the workouts — or avoiding them altogether — if exercise feels like a chore lately, you’re not alone.

It’s not that you’re lazy. It’s not that you need more motivation.
There’s something deeper going on — and in this episode, I’m diving into it.

We’ll talk about:

Why movement can start to feel flat, draining, or like pressure

The emotional undercurrent that’s often missed (especially in women over 40)

And how to shift the energy — so workouts feel doable, even enjoyable again

If you’re stuck in that “I can’t be bothered” feeling, this will help you understand what’s really going on — and how to get your spark back.
