Mindset coach Marie McCarthy, Techno yoga & Venetia Quick on the power of running when grieving

On the Alive & Kicking Podcast this week: Marie McCarthy looked in the mirror at 39 and wondered why she wasn’t further along in life. Even though she had a good salary, a family, a home, and a fancy car there was something not quite fulfilling her. Her journey out of this led her to retrain as a mindset coach to empower others to take control of their lives - she joins Clare to discuss. Clare met Naoise Ni Bhroin in D Light studios in Dublin to give techno yoga a try. And the Irish Life marathon takes place in Dublin on October 29th and many people will run for a host of different reasons – one of those will be Venetia Quick who began running after he life was turned upside down following the loss of her husband Martin - she joins Clare to tell her more.
