When did growing up mean growing out of the things you love?

As life gets busier, it’s easy to lose touch with the things that once brought us joy. Work, responsibilities, relationships, family and the constant pressure to be productive can slowly push our hobbies and passions further down the list.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of embracing who you are and making time for the things that make you who you are.

We talk about some of the passions that have stayed with me throughout my life, from music, film and gaming to martial arts and Warhammer. And why I don’t believe becoming an adult, a parent or a healthier version of yourself means you have to leave those things behind.

Because your hobbies don’t always need to be productive.

They don’t need to make you fitter.

They don’t need to make you money.

Sometimes, it’s enough that they simply make you happy.

We also explore why health and fitness shouldn’t consume your identity, why having a life you actually enjoy is an important part of living well, and why building a healthier body should ultimately give you more life to live, not less.

Some topics covered:

-My love for music

-The importance of having hobbies and interests

-Embracing what makes you who you are

-Warhammer (NERD!!)

-Embracing the things that bring you joy in life

-Why training shouldn't be your entire identity

and more!
