Get dressed with GrandPapi ❤️ I was giving a talk on Resilience/Buoyancy yesterday at one of my corporate clients and then meeting friends for dinner and fun at @poolhouse.uk so needed an outfit that was suitable for both.. Lots of you ask about hair products so I’ve included a little insight into what goes on with the barnet. The little brown number is from @universal_works The hair products @got2b The face cream @calderalab The aftershave @jomalonelondon Pomegranate Noir The hairdryer from 1995 😩

Dear Isla Jade ❤️ You have no idea how deeply loved you are. There are so many good people standing behind you, and a very special angel watching over you. Mummy and Daddy gave you her name, and were going to tell you all about her. You already feel like the greatest gift. I will be forever grateful to Mummy and Daddy for filling my heart and bringing such joy into our lives. Thank you, Holly and Freddy, with all my heart. Holding you is pure peace. All my love, Grandad ❤️ (Though you’re welcome to call me something a bit cooler when you’re older!)

Proud Dad post! This kid has served up a few pinch me moments but this is up there! To walk for @gucci in Milan!! It’s his most loved brand and I know how much it meant to him to, there’s no better feeling than watching someone you love realise a dream and as usual he took it all in his stride. I can’t celebrate Bobby without acknowledging how elated his Mum would be, she spent a good few quid in their stores too! Seriously it’ll never be fair that she doesn’t get to sit immersed in this immeasurable feeling of pride like I do but her amazing genes live on in both of her boys. Thank you @bobbybrazier That was so fun to watch 🙌🏻❤️ #Gucci #mfw #milanfashionweek #bobbybrazier

Today felt a real privilege. Sitting on the panel for #LooseMen Important conversations, male representation offering the male perspective. You can’t waste these opportunities to speak about a healthier, safer masculinity, balance out some of the other views we’ve talked a lot about lately. There’s no point doing it if you’re not going to offer something honest, something raw, something real. I loved the balance today, just a group of blokes genuinely enjoying each other’s company and looking after each-other. Effortless from @craigdoyletv always the perfect prompt to get you where you need to go and done with a smile. @jordanfstephens will always impress with his unapologetic, straight talking style. It’s like he has thought about the whole universe and has a balanced plausible insight ready to offer on every detail. And @spencermatthews was wide eyed, fun, well dressed and ready to add some unpredictably to proceedings. I didn’t get any pictures because I’m rubbish at that! The cardigan was @noblclo ❤️

I was so nervous going into my first @menscircle.club meeting especially knowing that all of the men I was sharing the space with were all so incredible at showing up with such authenticity, I knew I couldn’t be anything other than fully present. It was a valuable experience. It feels great to be seen, heard and validated and there’s an additional sense of pride when your audience is all male, a hang up from childhood I have had to work on and continue to confront. I also love to listen and there was plenty to consider from such an engaging snap shot of where 5 individual men can find themselves in all things. Well held @beingpasco and huge love and respect to the inspirations @stroudtom @adam.floatinghome @jordanfstephens @theauthenticman_ ❤️

I don’t know that I could love her more. A weekend to celebrate our special girl and her Mum and Dad who are doing a great job. She’s perfect. ❤️

Lots to love about April. Lots of cuddles with Isla (but never enough!) A bit of travel to Gran Canaria and Milan. Two successful @prjctwlks events and my campervan conversation offering. Lots of teamwork with the beautiful gang at @farm_fitness , the team at @thismorning & my brothers at @the.unmaskedman What doesn’t make it into the carousel is the coaching clients who continue to show up for themselves, the gym sessions in the @davidlloydharlow that keep me in check, the time I’ve spent with @bobbybrazier this month particularly loving that he’s my private DJ because he is always playing at home. And the work continues, putting the time in to become more comfortable in this new phase of all things. ❤️

I’ve been patient. Finding your feet after a separation seemingly takes ages so accepting that there is no easy way out of those feelings and concentrating on myself is paying off. I’ve focussed on the little things.. Daily habits in my routine like meditation, exercise, cacao, min 7 hours sleep, Journalling, gratitude, walking etc. keeping these little promises with myself has helped me build up self-trust. I’ve hit the gym.. Building physical strength also builds mental strength, self-respect and confidence, things that can take a knock when you’re doubting if you’re going to be enough on your own. Doing things that remind me who I am.. Going back to coaching, finding a new home for the walks, making plans to become a men’s work facilitator, going out dancing! Helping others, being proud, competence breads confidence and a sense of identity. I’ve been honest with myself.. There have been so many ugly moments of doubt, insecurity and pain and I haven’t distracted myself to avoid going through these desolate patches. I’ve sat in the sadness when it was time to grieve instead of deflecting or avoiding. I’ve found new types of support.. Deepening my journey into men’s work has offered me an outlet that really works for me, ironically it was the last place I’d have ever allowed myself to look before but I’m finding it particularly helpful! I’ve fully accepted what I do not control.. I used to pressure myself to be the answer to family issues and I’ve finally given myself permission to release that sense of responsibility which has been quite freeing. Always a support, not necessarily the solution. And Isla. Just Isla! ❤️ Hope this helps anyone going through something challenging.💪🏻

I bet you’re looking at that first slide and thinking what on earth is he doing now?!!! In that glorious moment I was pretty much sobbing relentlessly, releasing some of that pent up emotion I carry and just before I was hoisted up by my brothers from @the.unmaskedman I had let go of a fair amount of stored up anger that I typically find hard to trace let alone emote. I watched all day as each man bared their pain only for @alexander_cottle and his team to find a clever, practical way to create the perfect outlet for some of what we do not wish to carry or be defined by. I can’t tell you good this feels for me! Not at the time obviously! The work is rarely comfortable but I’ve been committed to the path of letting go for a long time now and I’m increasingly growing into and reclaiming the space that I’ve alway felt nervous and unworthy of taking up. Mens work was a straight no for me before the last year or so. Sharing any vulnerability to a Man that wasn’t a close friend or a child of mine felt dangerous, it wasn’t how I was conditioned to cope. Then I braved a Men’s Circle at Medicine festival, realised not only did my head not fall off but actually, it felt like it was something I absolutely should pursue so I’ve kept showing up feeling increasingly lighter each time. Anyone who faces their shadow head on has my unwavering respect. I’m really starting to feel like men’s work will play a huge part of my future and maybe part of my purpose moving forward is to help more men start their own journey to get back to themselves.

So lucky. Gran Canaria you were hot hot hot! Got to entertain some of the winners of our January @easyjetholidays comp and they were all an absolute pleasure. Some hotel the @lopesancostameloneras and the team was a strong one! Lots of love @samronaldnash @shakirarw @annemarie.leahy.79 @samredman_ @spongdan @lyndsayslens @andipeters @espindola_j @patrick.w.ireland @eilish_white & @hayleyvcrossland ❤️

We spend so much time chasing a state of mind we think is somewhere ahead of us — happiness, peace, contentment. Something to reach for. But what if just as much of our energy is spent trying to keep the feeling of “I’m f*cked” away from the door? Because we’re not just striving forward… we’re also avoiding what’s behind us. Stay unf*cked by getting honest about what drains you. Stay unf*cked by doing the boring things consistently. Stay unf*cked by saying no more than you say yes. Stay unf*cked by moving your body even when you don’t feel like it. Stay unf*cked by not outsourcing your self-worth. Stay unf*cked by dealing with things early, not when they explode. Stay unf*cked by protecting your time like it matters — because it does. Stay unf*cked by keeping promises to yourself. Stay unf*cked by surrounding yourself with people who raise your standard. Stay unf*cked by remembering: discipline now, freedom later.
