Change Is Key: Recent Episodes
Shane Conaty
I am a qualified life coach and I want part of this podcast to involve connecting with people of similar interests. I will cover themes of mental health and wellbeing, mental strength, life coaching and experiences of overcoming life's challenges. Guests will include authors, podcasters, motivational speakers and life coaches. I will also discuss educational issues and the need for reform in terms embedding wellbeing and mental health into the educational system. Guests to reflect these themes will include members of mental health charities and academics.
In this episode, I spoke to a coach who I've gotten to know well over the past few months. He's someone who's been very helpful to me, as well as his clients and people in general.

This episode is a bit different. A lad I know in Australia is involved in some legal issues related to Covid and is facing a possible prison sentence, which-when you listen to our chat you'll see-is completely unfair.
So, I'd really appreciate if people could share this one as much as possible.

In this short solo episode, I chat about some of the reasons people hire me as their coach. It's good to see coaching as an investment in yourself, your future and your personal development.

In this episode, I chatted to someone I've known personally for quite a while. Aaron has become well known for his adventures cycling around Ireland-and Europe-without accomodation! This is an episode I've been looking forward to recording for a while, and it's the first one I've done for about six weeks. Aaron is great for motivation and inspiration, so this is well worth a listen. I'm planning a goal setting and journaling workshop in the near future so keep an eye on my social media (links below) for details. It would be a great step in the self-care direction early in the year.

I decided in this episod to rehash my video about imposter syndrome and explain my seven-step-guide to overcoming it. This is a topic I've talked about before, and it's something which has showed up for me a lot in the past, especially when starting this podcast. I've worked on navigating myself and I've helped clients overcome it too. Imposter syndrome usually shows up for us when starting a new challenge or moving outside our comfort zone, and can leave us feeling unqualified or unworthy of the opportunities presented to us.

In this episode, I wanted to focus more on the positive things you can do when going through a break-up, and some of the things which really helped me get through it.
You might also find listening to episode 4 with Niamh Fitzpatrick helpful in terms of dealing with grief/loss. Lads need to talk about these kinds of things and know that it's not the end; too many have been lost to suicide/addiction etc.

This episode is a little different, partly because it's one of a two-parter and also because I delve into some of my own experiences more than I've done before. I speak about some of the things I did after going through a break-up which are not advisable (!) and tips on what to try to avoid when going through a break-up.
I decided to let this episode be the closer for the first season also (big thank you to everyone who listens) as I thought it would be interesting for the more positive part two to open a new season.

In this episode, I chat to Gary O'Sullivan, middleweight boxer who hails from Cork. He speaks about his career, training, and future ambitions. Seeing as both of us are avid Man United fans, we diverted to football towards the end too! It was fascinating chatting to Gary given my own interest in the sport of boxing, so I hope it makes for interesting listening.
I did have to cut a bit here and there due to connection issues and the sound may not be the best in places, but stick with it.

In this episode, I chat to Gerry Murray, founder of Walk Into The Rainbow, life coach and author. We discuss Gerry's journey from crime and drug use to setting up his own business and writing his book. We also chat about the beliefs we have, gratitude and the law of attraction. Gerry is someone I've gotten to know over the last couple of months and has been very supportive of me and the podcast. He, along with his team, have helped many clients walk away with a new found confidence and positive mindset.

In this episode I chat to Kayleigh Payne, an activist for sexual education and healthcare. Kayleigh bravely speaks about her experience of sexual assault and we also chat about the need for change in education and healthcare in Ireland. Public and well known cases such as the Belfast rape trial and, more recently the Harriet Robson case, also come up, as well as Repeal the 8th.
It's important to consider that you may find the topic(s) raised here upsetting or triggering, so keep that in mind. I consider this episode a unique one in the sense that it's a change from the previous two discussions with guests around mindset, but it is a no less important subject and can be linked back to mental health education. I felt it was important as a male to give someone like Kayleigh a platform to share her thoughts and experiences, especially when, at the time of recording, Harriet Robson had just been through an awful experience that week.

In this episode, I go into more detail about myself and my background and my ideas for the podcast. I take the opportunity to describe what it was like being coached and why it's important for men to speak about their mental health.
I also talk little about how I came up with the title and what it refers to.
