Having coffee with a friend today, we commented on how we all have our stories, we all have our ‘stuff’. This isn’t always apparent when we look at each other.

For those watching Nicola Crean complete her first Iron ‘Man’ in Cork last year, it would not have been obvious what hurdles she had overcome in the previous few years and how running had become her way of staying sane as the life she knew unravelled around her.

In this honest and down-to-earth conversation, Nicola describes a very relatable account of meeting a partner, starting a home and family, the mental health issues that would stop them all in their tracks and force Nicola to start again, from scratch, raising two bereaved children alone.

This episode deals with suicide.
