Don't Settle Squad: Recent Episodes
Don't Settle Squad
I suffered from chronic pains & injuries from 15-25. At 25, I got numerous diagnosis and was told to settle and give up things I loved to do. But as I found out along my journey:
You don't get what you deserve, YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR
I didn't settle. What about you?
Not settling was the start of my transformation from a broken body to what you see today. After not settling, taking OWNERSHIP and EDUCATING myself were the keys to taking back control over my body and never being at the mercy of healthcare professionals again
This attitude of not settling has spread throughout my life far past mobility training. I didn't settle for my well paid, stable, pensionable job either. I didn't settle for that and started a coaching business to help other not go through what I did. My mess has become my message
I didn't settle for my movement limitations...and it has become the catalyst that change my life. If you don't want to settle for your movement limitations, your mindset, your life.....subscirbe and join the Don't Settle Squad and for weekly inspiration and education to implement in your own life!
I don't take myself too seriously either, so let's have some fun along the way too ;)

This episode covers:* How to understand what you value in life & who you want to be * Steps to start living from value over fear to express your authentic self
Humans are a social species. We are hardwired to fit in, not to be our authentic selves. Living from fear is something we all struggle with. Deep down, we know we live behind a mask a lot of the time. And its no surprise that the biggest recorded regret of humanity is “I wish I lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”. In this episode, I cover a 3 step process to help you start living from value over fear, and express your authentic self.

This episode covers:* One of the main reasons why people never overcome chronic pain long term * A crucial principle I teach all clients on their physical freedom journey
We all know the times where our body is trying to tell us something, but we just ignore it. Those last grindy reps in the gym that you know will mean shoulder pain for 2 days. The astro soccer with the lads that will leave you in bits or the Jiu-jitsu class that you know your body isn’t prepared for. The injury that you never properly addressed and it’s turned into a chronic pain affecting your daily life now. If this is you, I’m not here to judge, just to educate. I’ve made all the mistakes myself. In this episode, I will show you how to start building a relationship with the only body you will ever have, and show you the path from the brink of divorce, back to the honeymoon phase of physical freedom.

This episode covers:* The toughest challenge I have done to date * The experience of the journey along with the lessons from completing it
In 2021, my cardio goal was to complete all separate parts of an ironman triathlon separately. It would ensure I get fit, and also put me in a good position if I ever wanted to do one in future. But I picked too many goals that year, and didn’t prioritise the cardio ones properly. I completed the 3.9km swim, but didn’t even train for the marathon or cycle. Then one weekend in December as I realised this, I said f**k it: I’m going for the marathon tomorrow morning. Untrained. In barefoot shoes. You said you’d do it, now it's time to back up your aspirations with your actions. This wasn’t going to be a test of endurance, it was going to be a test of pure will. It was time to see how far the don’t settle attitude could take me.

This episode covers:* A deep dive on how adaptable us humans really are * Proof that change is not just possible, but inevitable
I used to believe that I couldn't change. That I was resigned to chronic pain & injury, and all the other things I didn’t like about my life. But it couldn’t have been further from the truth. But once I started taking ownership & educating myself, I ended up down the rabbit hole of evolutionary biology. I began to see where we came from, the story of our species, and why we have gone from swinging out of trees in Africa to conquering the world. The truth is we are the most adaptable species on the planet. And most people have no clue about the amazing potential they have. I have gone on to do things I never thought possible since then, but it all started with finally understanding what humans are truly capable of. And that’s what I will show you in today's podcast.

Most of us have got so caught up in achieving goals before, that our self-worth got tied up in it. It was all about the outcome, the end result, and it slowly chipped away at us over time.

This episode covers:* The realisation that changed my life and made me the man I am today * How it can help you on your own path
I used to be a people pleaser and a pushover. I had no confidence. I would never say what I think. I lived behind a mask. I had social anxiety & would even get embarrassed looking at myself in the mirror. I thought that’s just the way I was. But through my own self-development journey over the last 8 years, I saw the truth that I never knew before: I didn’t respect myself. But I am not the exception here, a lot of people are the same. In this episode I will bring you through the process of how I gained my own self respect, and became the hero to my younger self. Now I am proud of myself and at peace. I’m confident in myself & my abilities, and I’ve created the life I always wanted. And you can too.

Eoghan’s client testimonial: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxvmiIoM6dt/?img_index=1
Eoghan is an ex-client from the Physical Freedom Program.
We go through his journey from chronic back pain and being held back in hurling & life, to not settling and regaining his physical freedom. Eoghan has also gone on to start his own coaching journey since then!
If you suffer from chronic pain & injury holding you back, this episode will give you an insight into what the journey to regaining your physical freedom is like behind the scenes.
There is no quick fix, there is no hack. But with the right attitude & approach, progress is inevitable in time.
This episode covers:* The fallacy that resting injuries heals them * The best way to recover quickly from injuries
We have all rested injuries, and taken ages to come back. Most of the time still feeling fragile. Leading to us calling that area ‘bad’. My bad ankle, my bad back and the list goes on. At best, the rehab does the job but it takes too long. At worst, it takes ages and doesn’t even rehab the area properly. Resting injuries isn’t the answer, attentive progression is. In this episode I will show you how to recover quickly from injuries to regain your physical freedom for sport & life.

Exercise cues are great, but they can only take you so far. We have the same anatomy, but we have different length of limbs, different injury history etc. The same cues won’t work for everyone, and I remember hitting into this roadblock many times of my own journey to Physical Freedom. Where certain cues didn’t work for me, and only caused pain. In this episode I will go through a crucial concept that enabled me to overcome the flaws with cues, and keep moving forward and get the progress I wanted with my body.

This episode covers:* What overthinking is & why it happens * How to stop overthinking and use your mind more skillfully * This is info from a module in the Mental Freedom Course
The average person has 60,000 thoughts per day. How many of these are necessary? How many of these are looping, repetitive thoughts that lead to anxiety & stress? A lot. Our mind has evolved to become a problem solving machine, it loves stimulation & working through problems. But unless we actively train to gain more control over our extremely powerful mind, it runs riot. Most people’s minds are like a noisy nightclub, when they could be like a calm cosy local pub. Once we understand that overthinking is just an unskillful use of our imagination, we realise it doesn’t have to be this way. We can train to have a more skilled mind, and that’s what I go through in today’s episode.

This episode covers:* What emotions are & why we have them * The 3 different ways we can handle emotions * This is info from a module in the Mental Freedom Course
Emotions are a fascinating and vital aspect of human existence. We don't remember facts, we remember how we felt. Emotions are what we know as the experience of life. The people we meet, the things we do, the relationships we have, it all funnels into our own meaning of these events through our emotions. If you don’t understand your emotions, you are in for a tough, chaotic experience of life. It’s time to learn what emotions really are, so you can get on the path towards deeper self awareness. The key to skillfully navigating your own mind & life.

We are all going to die, that’s inevitable. But are we all going to really live?! That’s down to the individual. The majority won’t, and they will be on their deathbeds with regret. In this episode I will show you the perspective that the great Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius used to live a good life. One that has echoed through the ages as a part of Stoic philosophy. Most people fear death and let it paralyse them. But I will show you how to flip it and fear not living instead. This will propel you from paralysis into action to design the life you want. To live true to yourself and die with no regrets.

We all know that feeling of being triggered. In work, in relationships, in life. We usually ignore it and let it linger all day, or else we lash out. Either way it’s a disempowering way to live your life. Without deeper self awareness you will never understand why it happens, and you will repeat the same patterns in your life forever until you do. Your emotions are indicators of what you believe. And once you understand this, you can decipher why you are getting triggered. I will show you how in this episode.
