FCPGM032: Charity... does it really help?
FCPGM [Fight Coach, Psychotherapist, Gym Momma]
05/22/21 • 57 min
The Greek storyteller - Aesop - once said “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted”. On the surface, that seems logical, wise and well meaning. However, there are times when kindness, giving or charity cross over the threshold to enablement and other times, when your charity is siphoned off by middlemen to the point that the intended recipient is left no better off than before you gave a penny at all. When does charity really help? When is tough love better than unconditional support?

FCPGM 021: Having Enough - do we ever?
FCPGM [Fight Coach, Psychotherapist, Gym Momma]
10/03/20 • 64 min
There’s not enough hours in the day. There’s isn’t enough food on my plate. There’s not enough instagram followers for me. It’s natural for us to complain and moan about not having enough. How much of that moan is legitimate and how much is based on us trying to keep up with the Jones’s? How can we learn to be satisfied with what we’ve got?
In this episode, we never having enough... or do we? What’s this persistent perception of scarcity we seem to suffer from and how can we overcome it?

FCPGM 019: Drug Addiction & Substance Abuse
FCPGM [Fight Coach, Psychotherapist, Gym Momma]
09/19/20 • 74 min
Solvents, Hash, Marijuana, LSD, XTC, Cocaine and Heroin. For many of us, the closest we get to these substances is watching tv dramas like Breaking Bad. For others, experimentation in their teens was as wild as it got. But for some, the rabbit hole is much deeper and the life consequences that follow are rarely positive. What substances are on the streets nowadays? Why do young teens turn to drugs or pills at all? How can we keep younger generations from venturing down that path? Today’s episode is a bit different to usual. Myself, Mar and Jimmy were fortunate enough not to have be snared by any major substance abuse addictions. Truth be told, I had a very sheltered childhood so I’m as far from an expert on this topic as you’re likely to get. However, we were introduced to two fellow podcasters who have been in the trenches and survived to tell the story.
James Leonard and Timmy Long (aka "The Two Norries") are 2 friends from the Northside of Cork City, who found themselves entangled in a life of drug addiction from their teens into early adulthood. Their addictions were slightly different but ultimately they both ended up on paths that led to the prison system. Having overcome their addictions and re-discovering education, they started their podcast ("The Two Norries") as a way to help others who may be suffering through similar hardships and to help find solutions to the various issues that lead to a life of Substance Abuse and Crime. Check out their podcast on all your favourite podcast apps or by following the links on their website at https://thetwonorriespodcast.com/

FCPGM [Fight Coach, Psychotherapist, Gym Momma]
10/31/20 • 59 min
Negativity, eternal pessimism, lazy body language, constant complaining, the poor mouth. I bet you even visualising those phrases has already begun to drain your energy. We encounter people with negative behaviours every single day and while we can choose to avoid some of those people, others, we may be stuck with, such as family, work colleagues, team members. Where does negativity come from and how can we prevent ourselves being affected by it. On today’s episode.... We’re going to look at tactics to deal with the moaning Myrtles of our lives. We need to be impervious to gloom so that we can keep on firing on all cylinders and not get dragged into a black hole. Gym Mommas Quote of the Week:
"You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to"
- anon
Top Tips:
- Don't go head to head (learn to deflect and disarm)
- Empathise but don't take responsibility
- Set boundaries ["I don't want to talk about this topic anymore..."]
- Learn to redirect the conversation towards something more positive
- You're allowed to say nothing....
- Complainers... put them in charge
- Accept them for who they are
- Make sure to manage your own stress ("It's your heart attack")

FCPGM 009: Depression & Anxiety
FCPGM [Fight Coach, Psychotherapist, Gym Momma]
07/12/20 • 64 min
Depression is said to be the silent killer. While we, as a species, have gotten a lot better at discussing the things that get us down, we still have a long way to go. How do you cope with prolonged sadness that robs the wind for your sails? And what’s the relationship with anxiety and constant worrying?
On this episode, we talk about dark clouds and black dogs. Depression, sadness, loneliness and anxiety. It’s a good job we have a psychotherapist on the team to sort the wood from the trees. Links:

With Social Distancing and successive lockdowns, it seems we’re all experiencing loneliness in 2020 a bit more than usual. For some it’s harrowing to go without daily social contact. For others, alone time is relaxing or productive. It seems to be highly subjective. But what’s the purpose of feeling lonely? And are there dangers to chronic loneliness? On today’s episode, we’re discussing the feelings of being lonely. While Covid has certainly amplified this issue, it’s not a new phenomenon; But has 2020 given us a chance to learn about loneliness and how to deal with it better?
