    EP 3 - It's Exam Season! Some reflections and learnings from taking tests/exams, what I could have done better and advice for those facing exams, tests and trials

    EP 3 - It's Exam Season! Some reflections and learnings from taking tests/exams, what I could have done better and advice for those facing exams, tests and trials

    It's exam season! And that got me to thinking about my own personal exam experiences down the years, what went well and what could have definitely gone better...

    The podcast acts as a chance to reflect and to hear some anecdotal stories of not just what I felt, but the experiences and learnings of others, as they offer pearls of wisdom as to how to remain calm and perform well in that environment.

    Also, I know this is the first podcast in a while and there is a little life update at the start of the podcast to explain just why that might be!

    I hope you enjoy this episode of Thacker's Sunday Hangover and if you can think of anyone who may benefit from or enjoy listening, please share and pass the pod around!

    Love you all and have a great week!

    Mid Week Remedy - Molly-Mae Hague and Joe Rogan controversy and Performing Under Pressure

    Mid Week Remedy - Molly-Mae Hague and Joe Rogan controversy and Performing Under Pressure

    On this week's MWR, I discuss the recent controversies in the media surrounding Molly-Mae Hague and Joe Rogan. 2 issues that have certainly brought important societal issues to light and I thought it would be good to have a conversation around them. 

    I say this on my podcasts and genuinely mean them. Please contact me @ thackerssundayhangover@gmail.com or on Instagram @thackerssundayhangover for dialogue regarding anything I talk about on the podcasts! I'd love to chat to you about them!

    I also talk through some of the most prudent lessons learnt from the most recent book I have read, 'Performing Under Pressure', by Dr. Ceri Evans. This book has already helped me in both my professional life and personal life and just wanted to share this with you all!

    As always I hope the MWR serves as some respite from our busy lives and you find it interesting!

    Have a fantastic rest of the week!

    New Year's Special - Our Hopes for 2022

    Happy New Year!

    In this very special edition of Thacker's Sunday Hangover, I have asked for the hopes and aspirations of my friends and family for 2022. 
    Let's face it...2021 was a tough old year! But the good news is, is that the world is in such a place where we're all able to have such a positive effect on it and on the lives of others.
    The beautiful reflections and voice notes you'll hear in this podcast will give you hope for the New Year that this world really is full of love and that we are able to go after and achieve the things we want to in life.
    I wish you all a beautiful 2022 and I hope it's everything you hope for!

    Mid Week Remedy - Brilliant and lovely things humans do and the importance of reflection

    Mid Week Remedy - Brilliant and lovely things humans do and the importance of reflection

    Happy Hump Day everyone! 

    As per I hope this Mid Week Remedy acts as some light hearted relief for you. On the MWR this week I talk about the importance of reflection, my Movember experience and take an objetive look at some funny things humans do that we have accepted as completely normal.

    Please give the reflection stuff a go and tell me how you found it. I'm really interested to know your experience.

    EP 2 - Who are Incourage? Concussions and how more action will lead to better mental health (feat. Ben Law)

    EP 2 - Who are Incourage? Concussions and how more action will lead to better mental health (feat. Ben Law)

    Returning for his 4th podcast appearance, I sit down with my good friend Ben Law to talk about Incourage, a group looking to take on some amazing challenges to raise money for Movember, who are helping to tackle the global mental health problem our society faces. It was great to find out about the mission, some of their values and all the great things the guys are doing to raise money.

    We also talk about concussions, given both of our experiences with concussions in rugby and how like mental health, it's important to speak up and don't hide when there's a problem.

    If you'd like to get involved or follow Incourage's progress go to Instagram @_incourage_ and find out how you can support their efforts for a very worthwhile cause.

    I hope you enjoy the pod and have a great week!
