    Ep.24. Time doesn't heal ALL wounds

    Ep.24. Time doesn't heal ALL wounds

    This episode takes a deep dive into the nature of grief, trauma and loss.



    How this shapes us, impacts us physically, mentally, emotionally as well as it how it can impact your relationships.



    I dive into how and why some people avoid being able to process their pain, grief or loss, why some people get stuck in their wounding and the difficulties that can come from choosing to avoid addressing this pain over a longer period of time.



    I also touch on how this impacts us from a trauma perspective, within the Nervous system as well as how this can spill over into other areas of your life with your relationship with others, your self and the wider world around you.

    Breaking point: why did I stay stuck in that relationship so long?

    Breaking point: why did I stay stuck in that relationship so long?

    In this episode we will be exploring the numerous reasons that people can find themselves stuck in a relationship they know isn’t fulfilling, isn’t making them happy and why they are caught in that cycle for sometimes years at a time.



    We explore the catalysts that lead to change. We explore the fear of the unknown versus the pain of staying, the importance of the relationship with oneself, and the social stigmas and judgments that can keep people stuck. We also delve into the sunk cost fallacy, the impact of therapeutic breakthroughs, and the role of personal growth and self-discovery in relationship dynamics. I highlight the significance of trust, priorities, and the masculine-feminine polarity in relationships. Finally, we touch on the challenges that arise during the holiday season and emphasize the importance of self-care.



    In this episode we will also explore what can act as a catalyst for change that can move someone to create changes to exit this kind of relationship in a safe and empowered way.



    If this resonates with you or someone you know please share this with them as it could provide insight or a moment of clarity that can help them take action.

    Thanks for listening

    EP 21 : Silent Struggles: The Wounding of Men and Why Men need Men to Heal

    EP 21 : Silent Struggles: The Wounding of Men and Why Men need Men to Heal

    In this episode, we delve into exploring the wounding of men, and how this has shaped and influenced how they have coped and shown up in life and relationships. Exploring the impact of trauma, the loss of elders, the lack of rites of initiation and grounded Masculinity in the Western world, a stark lack of masculine examples to emulate i.e role models, and the barriers that make it difficult for men to heal and be vulnerable in life and in their relationships.

    This will provide an open insight into some of the unspoken issues men struggle with, the bind they can often find themselves in, and some strategies that I feel could contribute to this change and allow for healing to take place moving forwards.

    Exploring strategies and mindset shifts that allow men to harness their pain as a catalyst for growth. From overcoming trauma to embracing vulnerability, this episode offers insights and practical advice for men seeking to navigate their own healing journey.

Information GOLD & a must listen

Okay so I am absolutely obsessed with ruairis work and this podcast, I impatiently wait on every episode and the information that’s involved in each one continues to blow my mind with accuracy and his way of explaining everything is so easy to listen to - but the boundary setting episode was absolutely amazing and I feel EVERYONE could benefit from having a listen! also his wording always gives me a giggle. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Great podcast

I’ve followed Ruairi on Instagram for a while and thought his posts were really insightful so tried the podcast and found it so interesting. It discusses a lot of topics and I love the way he can get so into a topic and discuss it so easily with no script. It really gives such good insight into a lot of key relationship/personality traits and as I’m going through a break up it’s really made me stop and assess and think about what was good and bad on my part and theirs and map out what I do and don’t want in the future.
