Hold Back The River

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

Niall has just completed his biggest challenge to date, kayaking the longest river in Ireland, the 300km River Shannon. Niall and some friends took on ‘The Rising’ as a fundraiser, to get the mental health programmes created by his charity A Lust For Life into every school in Ireland. 

Although for a great cause, this gruelling challenge brought the team of kayakers to some vulnerable places, physically, mentally and emotionally. In this week’s podcast we hear from Niall at different stages across the 7 days and how he really leaned on his mindfulness toolkit throughout every moment of pain, sickness and tiredness to push through to the end. This journey is a true testament to Niall’s passion for passing these skills onto young people, helping them to understand their own minds.

If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now. You can contact one of the resources below for free.
