    The Power of Breath, Cold & Coming Back to Yourself with Níall Ó Murchú

    Shake The Ground Podcast | S02EP04  Can something as simple as changing the way you breathe change the way you handle stress, anxiety, sleep and even the hardest moments of your life? This week on Shake the Ground, we are joined by Níall Ó Murchú, also known as Breathe With Níall, author of The Blissful Breath and The Power of Cold, and a breathwork and cold-exposure teacher with more than 25 years experience in health and wellness. We talk about his early basketball days, struggles with asthma, his deep yearn for something more, and how he became an expert in the Wim Hof Method, teaching alongside Wim himself. Níall breaks down what breathwork can actually do for our nervous system, stress, anxiety and sleep and we even try a breathing exercise together towards the end. We also get into cold exposure, some of the myths within the wellness world, and the simple practices we can use to feel calmer and more connected in everyday life. A fascinating conversation about the power of the breath, the body and learning how to come back to yourself.

    Áine O’Boyle & Nathalie Lennon have an open conversation about relationships, safety, trust & trauma

    Shake The Ground Podcast | S02EP03  This week on Shake the Ground, Áine O’Boyle shares a story she has carried privately for years. While on Erasmus, Áine experienced a sexual assault, an experience that changed her relationship with safety, trust and herself. In this episode, she speaks openly for the first time about what happened, the aftermath of that trauma, and the journey of finding her way back to herself. We also talk about Áine’s experience with an eating disorder and body image, and what recovery has looked like for her. There is also chat around her current love for runnning & Pilates, with lots of girly giggles between some heavy topics. But this conversation is also about so much more than what Áine has been through. It’s about healing, rebuilding, learning to trust yourself again, and recognising that the hardest chapters of our lives can shape us without having to define us. An incredibly honest conversation about trauma, recovery, strength and the woman Áine has become on the other side of it.

    Brian O Loughlin on The Hidden Cost of Always Pushing, Burnout & Identity

    Shake The Ground Podcast | S02EP02  This week on Shake The Ground we are joined by Brian O’Loughlin for a conversation about burnout, identity, nervous system regulation and learning how to actually live the life we’ve worked so hard to build.  What if the very things that make us successful; ambition, hard work, responsibility and always pushing forward, are also the things keeping us stuck?  We talk about Brian’s experience of burnout and the uncomfortable realisation that so much of his ambition had become tied to worth, safety and constantly needing to move forward.  We explore what fight-or-flight can look like in a highly functioning person, the limits of “mindset” work, our obsession with self-improvement, and whether we can stay ambitious without constantly being at war with ourselves. We also chat about fatherhood, presence, why rest can feel so uncomfortable, what Brian calls “midlife reorganisation”, and how we can become so good at managing our lives that we forget how to actually live them.  This is a conversation for anyone who has ever looked at their life and thought: everything is good… so why don’t I feel okay?  Follow Brian here: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/brian_o_loughlin?stkn=NXUxcjZodXR0ZTUz  Follow Nathalie here: https://www.instagram.com/nathalielennon_  Subscribe to our YouTube & Socials @ shakethegroundpodcast

    Shake The Ground Podcast | S02EP01  This week, Nathalie sits down with Siobhan O’Hagan for an incredibly open conversation about changing your mind, doing life differently and having the courage to build a future on your own terms.

    From Banking to Building Dreams - Rachael Uí Bhaoill on Redirection after Injury & Starting Spreag

    After 17 years in banking, Rachael Uí Bhaoill walked away from the being extremely successful in the corporate world to starting from scratch building something completely her own, after an injury opened her eyes to what needed changing in her life.  In this week’s episode of Shake the Ground, Nathalie chats with Rachael about taking the leap from a high earning financial planner to starting from scratch. Rachael is the founder of Spreag, the renovation strategy business helping people create beautiful homes without losing control of their finances. But this conversation goes far beyond bricks and budgets.  We talk about the career that shaped her, the injury that forced her to slow down and reassess everything, taking the risk of leaving security behind, and why financial clarity is one of the greatest forms of freedom.  We also dive into the power of social media, how Instagram unexpectedly became a huge part of growing her business. If you’ve ever dreamed of changing careers, renovating a home, starting something of your own, or simply finding the courage to begin again, this episode is for you.  Follow Rachael here: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/the.renovation.strategist?igsh=dHAzam1wMDV4ZHc2 ⁠ Follow Nathalie here: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/nathalielennon_?igsh=eDNpdGcwbWVncmtu&utm_source=qr ⁠ Check out Spreag here: ⁠https://www.spreag.ie/⁠ Subscribe to our YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@shakethegroundpodcast
