#31 — Running Your Own Race with Dwayne Edgar

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 19:00:00 +1000

In today's episode I speak to Dwayne Edgar.......

An FAI qualified football coach, qualified fitness instructor & Lifeguard who takes us on the journey of setting up with his friend and partner Karl Taafe the hugely popular and ever growing Inner City running club in Dublin.

Dwayne bring's us through his humble origins in Dublin's North Inner City, what life was like for him in school being spoken down to and misguided by teachers.

Told he wouldn't amount to nothing from them, to then go on and set up the biggest running club in Dublin a few short years later.

This was an incredibly inspiring conversation to be a part of, I was genuinely in awe on many occasions.

The club started out during the lockdown and gave many Dubliners a sense of belonging and community.

Dwayne also shared some really powerful stories of transformation from some of its members.

The most prominent was Cobey who needs to walk aided by a walker, not to be deterred.

The community supports each other and takes him through the marathons in a wheelchair, and he absolutely loves it.

They all do, including his father who gets to run the races with him.

Dwayne also brought us through what the future has in store for the club and their future ambitions not too far into the future.

This conversation made me feel very happy and proud for all involved, there's some HUGE goals in the pipeline for this club & it's members.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as me.

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 22:00:00 +1100

In todays's episode I speak with Alexandra O'Hallaran.

A yoga and dance teacher from Ballyfermot, Dublin. It was amazing to speak to such a young and wise woman from one of working class area of Dublin.

We covered her life story and what it was like going to school and growing up in Ballyformot.

What life has been like as a kids dance teacher and how she signed up for Yoga Teaching Training for the physical side of the Ancient Eastern healing modality so she could teach it to the kids who attend her dance classes.

Only to be blown away by the depth of wisdom and how far this healing modality dates back, she speaks about the depths of wisdom she learned about herself and what it was like to come to an understanding of why her emotions get triggered in different situations.

What it's like to sit with these emotions for the first time instead trying to distract herself with phones, magazines or anything else.

Alex also told us what her plan's are to bring Yoga into all the children's school in Ballyformot and beyond.

This is an incredibly inspiring story, and great to hear of a local break the mould of what's considered "normal life" in working class area's of Dublin.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

#29 — Mentally You Have To Be Strong with Robyn Browing

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 08:00:00 +1100

The Queen of Quote's Browning swings in today for a very uplifting and inspiring conversation about life growing up in the inner city.

It was priceless growing up in that community spirit, where everyone's door was always open and every woman in the flats was like your mother.

Robyn takes us through her journey from partying every weekend to becoming a mother at age 21, a business owner not long after, and the struggles that came with being a single parent while honouring her heart's desire to continue traveling the world.

Fast forward to today,
where Robyn has gone through multiple career pivots but still works in the beauty industry as an eyebrow technician.

She also has a sound healing business that she uses to give back to her community and bring a different healing modality to those around her.

This was an incredible and inspiring conversation that was cut short because Robyn was heading to Brazil.

Part two will be coming soon.

Enjoy! 🔥

The impact childhood bullying has had on him in his adult life and where his mind was at when he attempted suicide.

He goes on to cover his full recovery story from being told he wouldn't walk or hike again to going on to win and smash a few personal bests in marathons across Australia.

Now his plans to help people suffering with their mental health in the future.

Hearing bombs and bullets flying across the sky's,

to moving to Australia at a very young age not knowing how to speak English.

Her childhood dreams of wanting become a fashion designer and then later in life wanting to support the change in others.

Rebecca started out her professional life becoming successful really fast managing technical data centres before she realized her heart lay somewhere else.

He spoke of the two options you get to choose from after leaving school. One leads to prison or a graveyard and the other leads to living life on your own terms.

He shared some incredible stories of the support he receives from his close family, and what it means to him to be considered an inspiration to the younger generation and all those around him.

Letting go is hard, but rebuilding is the path to creating your masterpiece.

In this episode it's just me swinging in with a few updates after shelving the podcast for 9 month's while I completed my Elementum Master Coach certification.

This intro alone is a beautiful insight into best practices to maximize your potential in life.

instead of stressing myself so much into overwhelm and burnout.

I put the podcast on hold until I had the capacity and focus required to pick it up again.

Lots of little wisdom nuggets in there too.

This episode blew my mind and was a challenge to follow at times speaking deeply about science. Ben was amazing at breaking this down into Layman's terms for anyone to follow.

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +1100

In this weeks episode we covered all areas of Khadaura's journey so far. Including a scene from a 007 James Bond Thriller. What it was like growing up in different parts of the world. Learning ancient eastern mysticism from a very young age to being blown up by an IED roadside bomb in Afghanistan. And what legacy he is creating in the world today. This one was powerful.

This was a great in depth story of what life was like behind enemy lines being one of the highest ranked soldiers in the field to what it was like being the "dumbest " person at the table when he got back to corporate America. The impact on mental health trying to transition back into "normal" life, Also how the U.S treat their war veterans when they get back stateside.

Khadaura is one of the best mystics I have ever worked with. To witness how quick he can style flex and adapt to any situation with joy and fun has been epic. That alone has been inspiring. In his past life he helped to bring down a big European child sex trafficking ring that we never got around to covering. We'll save those stories for round 2 ... Big Love to you brother.

This ones got lots of WTF moments haha.

What it was like playing at the top of the game for 14 years and what it was like mentally deciding to give it all up to go and live the life he is living today.

Frankie, a doting father and loving husband tells us about the mental struggles of growing up in a dressing room of masculine legends where showing any sign of emotion was a sign of weakness. What life is really like for professional sportsmen behind the scenes and the pressures of being pedestalled by the general public brings.

The mental battles of going contract to contract and what life was like for his Queen, then later two children living abroad so Frankie could live out his dreams.

This was a very inspiring story and conversation to be involved in. To see where he is and the life they as a family choose to live today. Is nothing short of breathtaking. And it is available to us all. I hope you enjoy it.

• To break a pattern, you must do the work from where the seed of the thought was planted
• The power and value in true, honest, and crystal-clear communication in all your relationships

#5 — The Next Generation with Blase Grinner

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 17:00:00 +1100

Today’s guest is Blase Grinner, my dear friend, mentor and brother. What this man has helped me to innerstand has been monumental. There are pivotal people that come into your life and for me this man was one of them. There’s actually a moment at the end where words fail me as I “try” to express my love for him LOL. With Blase’s guidance it has helped me to elevate in all areas of life.

We covered childhood trauma, the importance of owning your story so other people can’t use it as a weapon against you. But mainly to free yourself from the trauma, shame and guilt. Letting go of childhood friends to create the life he wants to live. His transition from boy to man, a conscious man. On why creating leaders is more important than creating followers for the next generation and the wisdom in which he wants to give to his children. There were a few vulnerable moments for both of us and a belly of laughs to wash them out. This one is a real treat. Enjoy

In today’s episode I spoke with Robbie O'Heaire, a dear friend of mine of many years. Our parents have been family friends on the other side of a half century, long before we were ever thought of.

It is a story of grit, determination, adventure and great sadness. Where every cloud has a silver lining.

Growing up in Finglas, Dublin.

A 16 year old child living in a 24 year olds body. In short, what life was like travelling the world for a boy who’s just had the silver spoon taken out of his mouth and no longer had his mammy to change his nappies. Love you bro - haha.

Robbie goes deep into all aspects of his life and what he enjoyed most about his evolution into the man he is today. His battles with alcohol demons and mental health, relationship with himself to finding himself at a plant medicine retreat in the Amazon Jungle.

How living in Toronto, Canada for 10 years has helped shape the man he is today and now the extreme predicament he finds himself in based on his medical choices. The immense amount of sadness and pain brought forward from his mothers experience and injuries from this same medical situation.

Really powerful episode and I hope it is heard with compassion and love in one's heart.

#3 — Awakening to your Souls Purpose with Karly Ashworth

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 16:00:00 +1100

Today's guest is an old friend from our party day's Melbourne.

In this episode she talks about growing up in Scotland in nature by some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Being trust into the celebrity spotlight overnight. What life was like in the big brother house and life was like after she left. Coming to terms with everyone believing she was there sibling and having no privacy in the public eye. Her struggles with Bulimia and the power that dominant control made her feel.

Life in the fast lane to being treated sub human. From a celebrity papparazzi hotel living lifestyle to an office and back to the 9 to 5. The importance of not being afraid to tell your story if you're struggling in silence. The mental and emotional transition of that journey and deep into her spiritual awakening.

The importance of trusting your intuition and living life on your own terms. Her vision for the future and the world we get to live in.

Really really enjoyed this conversation.
You're in for a treat.

#2 — Cheating Societal Life with Mathew Pritchard

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 14:00:00 +1100

In today's episode I am talking to my friend Matchew Pritchard about growing up in Wales and going on to the life of his dreams. Learning to skateboard at what seemed like an old age to cracking life's myth at such a young age. Feeling like he was an imposter and cheating life.

To how Dirty Sanchez came about and all the crazy stunts and party lifestyle that came with it. Dealing with the drugs fueled a mental and emotional rollercoaster. Stopping drinking to help with mental health battles. Loving animals wondering why the f*ck he's eating them. Becoming Vegan, , a triathlete and still living the all or nothing lifestyle.
Crossing the Atlantic with two paddles, a boat and no snacks. The moment of surrender to nature and 30 meter swells to peace and tranquility and a frozen moment in time. Pure stillness, bliss and at one with nature.
Mathew Pritchard is a Welsh professional skateboarder, stunt performer, and celebrity chef. He regularly appeared as a stunt performer on Dirty Sanchez, Wrecked, and Balls of Steel. In 2019, he hosted the first BBC vegan cookery show, Dirty Vegan. He authored two cookbooks: Dirty Vegan and Dirty Vegan: Another Bite.

All round legend, full time mad bastard.
Be prebared to be blown away.

#1 — Riding the Waves of Life with Darragh Byrne

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 14:00:00 +1100

Welcome to The Waves of Change Podcast with Darragh Byrne

This is episode 1. My story.

It’s one of adventure, transformation, and ambition. A story that sets the stage for this podcast and my message of embracing the change in life based on Health, Spirituality, Personal Development, Intuition and Trust.

From my childhood growing up to a single parent in inner city Dublin. My wanderlust curiosity brought me into all parts of Dublin leading to me growing up fast. Being looked down upon by society and having a chip on my shoulder to those from the "outside world".

The alcohol and drug fueled lifestyle. Rolling (literally) around every dance floor in Dublin. Then onto different continents to carry on in this drug fuelled haze. Wearing the mask of dream living but it was really just chewing up most of my days.

The journey from Ireland to Australia and Boy to a Man. Or what I thought was a Man. Living life in the fast lane eventually led me to facing off with this whole game. The moment of sorrow and dark night of the soul.

Following hitting rock bottom mentally and emotionally exactly 10 years ago, almost to the day. My spiritual awakening which has led me to where I am today. The long and winding road to get here. And all the times I burned myself along the way.

Burning Man in the dust and meeting my Queen, Giving up my whole life in Melbourne and trusting my heart. The story of anger and mistrust and childhood trauma's bubbling up. Eventually my curiosity and wan't to heal and save our relationship led to my purpose landing on my lap. Wondering what I do with it now?

This premier episode tells the tale of one man’s journey from the emotional bottom to the energetic top and shines a light on all of the tools and principles that have paved the way so that you, the listener, might be spared some wasted time, overcoming fears and allowing the world hear what you have to say.

Thank you for joining me on this sometimes wild, sometimes funny, summary of my life. Not proud of everything I have done in my life. But grateful for it all. As I would not be where I am today without every moment & experience. May it provide inspiration to anyone who is somewhere along the road of my journey. .

Much love to you all
