#47 "Navigating Life’s Challenges : Finding Routine & Support at Home

Life is constantly happening around us, and we can only do our best to protect ourselves through it all. I’m back in Ireland once again, and unfortunately, it’s under tough circumstances. My mom isn’t doing well, and it only felt right to come home and be with her and the rest of my family. It’s been five weeks now, and though the situation is challenging, I’ve managed to create a routine and structure to guide me through each day.

In this episode, I’ll dive into what life is like for me at the moment and how I’m handling the stressors that come with it. I’ve sought guidance from my good friend Denis Mac to help me stay accountable, keep my strength up in the gym, and support me through this transition.

I’m transitioning away from my Ironman training during the off-season, and with my work in FIFO (Fly In Fly Out), my time commitments have been unpredictable. I wasn’t sure how long I’d be in Ireland, so it was important to get extra help and support to stay on track with my health and fitness goals.

What I’ll cover in this episode:

  • The current state of my life and how I’m coping with the stress of the situation
  • Working with Denis and the structures we've put in place to stay focused
  • Overcoming emotional eating, especially during times of high stress
  • How I’m managing my calorie intake versus output in training and the importance of balance
  • Finding gym structure while also keeping in shorter runs to stay active
  • The generosity of my good friend Kevin, who kindly gave me a vehicle to use
  • Books I’m currently reading or listening to, and how they’re helping me grow
  • Reflecting on the story of Together for Faidh, a beautiful community-driven initiative to support a young girl’s fight against cancer

It’s been a challenging but enlightening time, and I want to share these insights with you, hoping they can offer support, perspective, or simply help you feel less alone in your own journey.
