Find Your Way Back To YOU!
A podcast about mental health, resilience, and being human.
Begin with our most recent episode
A 4am bike ride to a boardroom meeting sounds ridiculous until you hear what it does for your head. We sit down with endurance fundraiser Andy North to talk about why the outdoors keeps pulling him back, how he started taking on big challenges at 50, and how training can make you better at work without stealing your whole life.
Andy shares his connection to Candlelighters, the children’s cancer charity in Leeds, and what it means to keep showing up for families years after the headlines fade. From marathons and ultra-style efforts to cycling blocks that would scare most people off, we get honest about the parts nobody posts: the aches that feel like the flu, the moments at night when your mind turns on you, and the simple tools that get you moving again. We also dig into the basics that actually matter for endurance performance and mental health: hydration, nutrition, sleep, and self-praise when you’re tempted to write yourself off.
Then we go big. Andy breaks down standout projects like multi-day run-and-ride charity expeditions, record-setting climbs, and how he builds community around each event with planning, support crews, and fundraising strategy. He also talks setbacks, injuries, and the reality of adapting a training plan when illness hits. Finally, we look ahead to an Ironman-style challenge for Candlelighters and his “Spirit of Rome” vision: a 2,300-mile journey tied to corporate social responsibility and getting more people involved in doing hard things for a good cause.
