7: Fun at the Fringe | Forgiveness, Failure & Football with David Forde

Claire and Producer Caroline spent the week at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, there's an update on the missing airpod (does anyone care?!) and an unconventioal gang at their Airbnb. David Forde is a former professional footballer and Republic of Ireland international who built an impressive career between the posts. Originally from Galway, David was selected for Ireland’s UEFA Euro 2012 squad and later went on to establish himself as the country’s first-choice goalkeeper.Since his retirement from football, his journey has taken him well beyond the game. Through personal development, reflection and spirituality. David is an author and a professional coach and mentor in the corporate world. He teaches meditation and breathwork and continues to explore the experiences that shaped him both as an athlete and as a person. In part one of a two-part episode, Claire and David discuss the impact of alcoholism on a family, the drive and determination it takes to play sport at the highest level and the importance of never wasting a good humbling. David's BookDavid's Instagram👑 Kyla CobblerShows & comedians we loved in Edinburgh 👇🕺 One Man Musical📚 Marjolein Robertson 💩 Don't Flush Me Yet🎤 Fatiha El-Ghorri💰 Rory O'Hanlon🎉 Not Another Quiz Night👧🏼 Grace CampbellSophie Richards' Anti-Inflammatory Lemonade 👇🍋 juice of 2 large lemons🍯 1 tbsp of honey 🤌 pinch of Himalayan or sea salt🍏 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar💧 500ml sparkling water🧊 handful of ice cubesGET IN TOUCH WITH THE PODCAST💬 Send a WhatsApp voice note: https://wa.me/353851401432📧 Email: [email protected]📸 Instagram: @clairesolanCome to Claire and Caroline's Retreat in Wicklow - 13th SeptemberThe CSP is produced by Caroline IrwinThis podcast is brought to you in partnership with one of our favourite Irish brands Sisterly; the multi-award winning multivitamin made by women, for women.
