Show Notes

This week, I’m thrilled and honoured to be joined by former Mayo footballer Pádraig O Hora, who recently achieved the extraordinary feat of reaching the summit of Mount Everest.

Pádraig has long been a passionate and inspiring advocate for mental health, using his platform to encourage open and honest conversations around wellbeing. In this episode, he shares the incredible story of his journey to the top of the world, the challenges, sacrifices, setbacks, and triumphs that ultimately led him to stand on the highest point on Earth.

It’s a powerful and inspiring conversation about resilience, determination, mindset, and the importance of looking after our mental health. Pádraig’s story is a reminder of what can be achieved when we embrace challenges, stay focused on our goals, and keep moving forward, even when the path ahead seems impossible.
