This week I speak to Jaz Goven founder of Magical U which is training to fast track managing challenges for children and adults alike. To be the best version of ourselves.

We discuss how many peoples problems can be traced back to childhood, and how Jaz has created a game called Magical U for people/children of ages - from children up to adults of 8O years old. No one understands problems as much as the person who is experiencing them. How by playing the game you can identify what is your internal problems and identify how you can solve these problems.

How you can use the game, to resolve everyday problems which can be increased by the challenges living with Covid19 for many people. How it can help with emotions like anger, and things that we have not managed and could be holding us back. When we have balance we are more creative and enhance other life skills on how to respond to life rather than just reacting.

Looking forward to catching up again next week.

Sport matters to us all whether we are spectators or players and it is fair to say that the last two years have brought chaos into the world of sport but hopefully we are coming out the other end.

My podcast this week is with Aidan Raftery a Sports injury therapist who is an online friend for a number of years and the podcast arose out of Aidan's recent appointment as sports physio for Sparta Belfast  Futsal Club who will be competing in a UEFA tournament later this month in Estonia.Aidan is no stranger to the sport of football futsal because he previously filled a similar role in Kiev in 2019 for the Irish diabetic futsal team.

Many of you may have limited knowledge about futsal but to generalize it is a high intensity indoor football sport which is recognised for being great for ball control and skills and is exciting to watch because it is an attacking form of football that is non stop end-to-end stuff

Wellness In Our Lives

Welcome to this weeks Podcast Rosemary O'Shaughnessy Digital Content Manager

In this week's podcast, I speak with Brian Barnes who is a specialist in the field of wellness in so far as both the individual and employers are concerned.

What is really interesting about Brian is that he has a long-standing background in nursing both in the general health and mental health arenas, as well as time spent dealing with addictions and a stint with the prison service.

Brian is also a qualified hypnotherapist/wellness expert and delivers workshops for employers and organisations who are anxious to promote well-being and productivity in their workplace.

His business model focuses on the importance of person-centred solutions as opposed to the approach that one size fits all.

In our chat, our discussion ranges from Brian introducing himself, to wellness in our lives and in the latter part of our chat Brian imparts some tips for dealing with stress in our lives.

We also discuss how COVID has impacted our stress levels and his insights are very interesting.

If you want to deal with Brian he offers a discovery call - full details on his website at:
