This week I’m joined by my very good friend Gillian Skahill, a conscious parenting coach based in Galway.We have a fascinating conversation about what happens when our children trigger us, how our own childhood can influence the way we parent, emotional regulation, connection and understanding children's behaviour.Gillian explains why behaviour is communication, why children need to feel safe, soothed and seen, and why repair is such an important part of parenting when things don't go right.We also chat about technology, getting children outside, family life, managing multiple children, our inner child and why there is no such thing as perfect parenting.The big takeaway?Have compassion for yourself.We're all learning.We're all going to get things wrong.But we can pause, reconnect, repair and keep moving forward.A brilliant conversation with Gillian.Stay classy.Keep it organic.Get on that good stuff.

I was delighted to join my good friend Karen O’Sullivan on her Ordinary Extraordinary podcast for a proper catch-up and a chat about health, fitness, organic food, mental health, adventures and enjoying life.We go back around ten years, so we get into plenty — from how I ended up studying horticulture and working with farmers, to becoming a personal trainer, developing Organic Fitness and creating the events and adventures I’m involved in today.I share some of the things I do for my own health and wellbeing, including journaling, walking, weight training, grounding and getting enough sleep, as well as why I believe physical, mental and gut health are all connected.We also chat about the Camino, Strawberries & Cream, sea swims, positive people, getting outside your comfort zone and why:You won't know unless you go.But the biggest message for me is simple:Make sure you're actually enjoying life instead of just going through the motions.Have a laugh. Get outside. Do something challenging. Surround yourself with good people.And enjoy the journey.Stay classy.Keep it organic.Get on that good stuff.
