    Welcome to the Sh*t, Shower & Self-Care Podcast Episode 21!


    In this episode I am again joined by World Champion Triathlete Gold Medallist Steve Judge.

    We continue to talk about his journey to the podium, how it felt to cross the finish line and his transition into sharing his story as a motivational speaker and author.


    Steve talks about some of the conversations he's had when people have meant well and the importance of listening to what people want, not what you think they want.


    As always, thanks for listening. Please share this episode, comment, like or subscribe - the more people we reach the more we can spread the message that it's ok to talk.

    Welcome to Sh*t Shower and Self-Care episode 20!


    In this episode I am joined by the truly inspirational Steve Judge. Steve takes us through his journey from a hospital bed, horrendous pain, rehabilitation all the way through to being crowned a World Champion Gold Medallist Triathlete.


    Steve discussed his mentality and how he overcame what could be seen as insurmountable challenges in order to get to where he is now.


    Now that Steve has retired from professional althletics he now works as a motivational speaker and has given talks across the world sharing his story and supporting others.

    Not only does Steve talk about his experiences, he writes about them too.

    Steve has a couple of books;

    One is his autobiography detailing his story in far more detail than what we could go into on the pod: https://www.steve-judge.co.uk/dont-lean-on-your-excuses-2/

  • Man in the middle: Who'd be a referee?
    2023/10/01

    Welcome to the Sh*t, Shower & Self-care podcast.


    In this episode I'm joined by Tim Cruickshank from Sheffield Mind to discuss another side to him.

    There's a very good chance that if you have ever played football in Sheffield then Tim has refereed you at some point.

    There's also a good chance you will have heard his pre-match speech to set the tone.

    Tim give an insight into why he is a ref, why he enjoys it and how he still gets more from it despite some of the less than pleasant things that get said during a game.


    Later in the episode Tim talks about his role model, about someone who taught him about masculinity and how important it was to see himself represented in sport and in TV by perhaps the greatest of all time, especially when faced with the abhorrent nature of racism both implicit and explicit.


    Tim has helped to create a safe space for men to talk and for men to share when things arent going so well. Tim's advice from the last episode was "give it a go, just knock on the door" so here's the link: https://www.sheffieldmind.co.uk/news/mankind-mental-health-support-for-men

    Welcome to the Sh*t, Shower & Self-Care podcast and the second part of my conversation with Sam Hart.


    Sam talks about why on earth you would do a barefoot marathon - a full connection with his values and finding something that works for him.


    We also touch on adversity and injury as a promising decathlete and the struggles that he experienced when something he cares for is taken away and how he has been able to reconnect to his physicality through fitness.


    At the end we also look at a character Jim Halpert from the US office as a role model in masculinity.
