  10k before 40- Single Dad life, padel and the algorithm

  Sep 27, 20261h 13m

  What starts as a challenge to hit 5K Instagram followers before the World Cup somehow turns into a mission for 10K before 40 … but what happens when Max actually gets there? This week, we’re chatting to Max about his accidental Instagram career, the memes that unexpectedly took off and the real life behind the posts. We get into the reality of being a single dad - juggling parenting, work, friendships, dating and somehow finding a bit of time for yourself as well as men’s mental health. We also talk about Instagram becoming an unexpected outlet and community, why humour can sometimes make the harder stuff easier to say, and how padel has become Max’s escape from everyday life. 10K before 40 — is he actually going to do it?

  Men Stepping Up - The Conversation We Need To Have

  Jul 19, 20261h 13mS3

  This week on Heart Full Mind Heavy, we're joined by Cormac Dorian, a campaigner working to end violence against women and girls. For years, the responsibility has sat with girls and women - dress a certain way, walk a certain route, watch your drink, don't walk home alone. But real change doesn't come from women managing risk better. It comes from raising boys who understand consent, respect, and accountability from the start and who are willing to challenge it when they see it in their friends, not just stay silent. In this episode, we talk honestly with Cormac about: Why the conversation has to start at home, and start early What it actually looks like for men to step up, not just speak up How silence and "banter" can quietly protect harmful behaviour What parents, especially those raising sons, can do differently This isn't a comfortable conversation, but it's a necessary one.

  Confidence Isn't Something You're Born With - Emily McGuirk

  Jul 14, 20261h 8mS3

  Confidence isn't something you're born with, it's something you build. In this episode of Heart Full, Mind Heavy, we sit down with confidence coach and founder of Small Steps Big Vision, Emily McGuirk, to explore what it really means to find your voice, overcome self-doubt, and take action before you feel ready. Emily shares her own journey through anxiety, rebuilding her confidence, and the small, consistent steps that helped her create a life and business with purpose. Together, we talk about why so many of us hold ourselves back, how fear shows up in everyday life, and the practical ways we can start believing in ourselves again. Whether you're facing a difficult conversation, stepping outside your comfort zone, or simply trying to rediscover who you are, this episode is a reminder that lasting confidence isn't built in giant leaps, it's built one small step at a time. Because sometimes the smallest step is the one that changes everything.

  Rebuilding from the Inside Out with Gemma Hall

  Jun 28, 202654 min

  Heartbreak doesn't always arrive with divorce papers. Sometimes it comes quietly through loss, resentment, people-pleasing, or waking up one day and realising you've forgotten who you are. This week we're joined by relationship and communication coach Gemma Hall, who helps women navigate some of life's hardest chapters with honesty, practical tools and compassion. Together we explore why so many women lose themselves while trying to keep everyone else happy, the conversations we avoid, and what it really takes to rebuild after life's biggest emotional setbacks. Whether you're navigating a relationship, recovering from one, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, this conversation is a reminder that healing isn't about becoming someone new, it's about finding your way back to yourself. For any more information on what Gemma does please contact her: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmateamyoucoaching/ https://www.instagram.com/gemmateamyou/ https://www.teamyoucoaching.com/ Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartfull_mindheavy/ Email us at: info@heartfullmindheavy.co.uk Thanks for listening!
