⚽️❤️ THIS IS BIGGER THAN SPORT — AND IT COULD SAVE LIVES.

Yesterday, on World Su***de Prevention Day, something really positive happened.

Prince William and Princess Catherine joined some huge names from British sport to launch ON YOUR SIDE — a new su***de-prevention initiative specifically designed for the sporting community.

And I absolutely love the thinking behind it.

Prince William made an incredibly important point:

Sport can reach people who may never walk through the door of a mental-health service.

Think about that for a second.

The lad who won't ring his GP might turn up for football.

The person who won't say “I'm struggling” might still go running with their mate.

Someone who feels completely alone might still turn up at the gym, a fitness class or their local sports club.

Sometimes that community is where the first conversation begins. ❤️

The On Your Side toolkit has been created by The Royal Foundation with BSI and Chasing the Stigma to help people across sport spot warning signs, start conversations and connect someone with appropriate support before they reach crisis point.

And this isn't just aimed at professional athletes.

It's for players, coaches, staff, volunteers, families and spectators — from grassroots clubs right through to elite sport.

The FA, Premier League, Team GB and British Cycling are among the organisations committing to implementing it.

England captain Harry Kane is involved too, alongside sporting figures including Dame Kelly Holmes, George Russell, Jill Scott, Sir Jason Kenny and Dame Laura Kenny.

💚 This is exactly why I believe wellbeing support doesn't always have to begin in a clinical room.

Professional and clinical support — GPs, mental-health teams, psychologists, psychiatrists and medication where appropriate — can be absolutely vital.

But alongside that we need community. Exercise. Nature. Connection. Conversation.

Places where people feel comfortable enough to simply turn up.

I've seen first-hand through my own outdoor workouts and wellbeing events how barriers can come down when people exercise together, sit around a fire, walk through woodland or simply share space with other human beings.

Sometimes you don't even realise somebody beside you is fighting a battle.

Since losing my son Ben to su***de, this subject will always be incredibly close to my heart.

That's why I'll keep talking about it.

That's why I'm currently offering FREE group workouts in his memory.

And it's why initiatives like On Your Side matter.

We don't need everyone to become a therapist.

We need more people to notice.

More people prepared to ask twice.

More places where it's OK to talk.

And when somebody needs professional help, we need to help them reach it.

❤️ Sport brings people together. Let's use that connection to look after each other too.

Sometimes one conversation really can change the direction of someone's life.

❤️ FEELING GOOD & LETTING OFF STEAM TO WRAP UP SU***DE AWARENESS DAY 💪🧠

What a day — and quite a fitting way to finish it.

Started with a couple of meetings/interviews with some very special people working on a wellbeing project — bringing people together from the NHS and other local organisations. 💚

Then it was hands-on…

💆 Several massages — currently HALF PRICE at just £29
✨ A couple of facials
💆‍♂️ have a massage AND facial for £49 !

Then home and absolutely SMASHED the garden for two hours 🌿😂

And finally, time to let off a bit of steam myself…

🏃 2K run in 8 minutes
🛞 50 flips of the big tyre 💪
🏋️ And a few light log curls to finish 💪😜

Not a bad way to clear the head and end World Su***de Prevention Day.

And that's pretty much what I promise you'll get from following this page…

RAW. REAL. LIFE.

From morning until bedtime.

Yes, we'll talk about su***de, grief and mental health. We need to. They're real subjects that affect real people and families.

But we'll also talk about living. ❤️

🌿 Getting outside
💪 Moving your body
💆 Looking after yourself
🧠 Looking after your mind
🔥 Connection and community
✨ Realistically priced retreats — including overnights for £99
😂 Positivity, inspiration, motivation and plenty of laughter

Because laughter is important too.

Laughter lifts the spirit.
Movement releases the pressure.
Nature gives us space.
Connection reminds us we're not alone.

Today has carried some incredibly important conversations.

Tonight I'm feeling good, grateful and letting off some steam.

Tomorrow… we keep those conversations going. ❤️💪🌿

🧠🌿 MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK CLINICAL

And sometimes, the people supporting everyone else need supporting too. ❤️

Recently, myself and the Starboy team had the privilege of holding space for several GPs, health practitioners, psychologists, NHS staff and other key workers from across Tyneside and County Durham.

People who spend so much of their working lives caring for, listening to and supporting others.

For a few hours, it was their turn to simply switch off.

🌲 Time surrounded by nature
🎶 A soundbath
🧘 Guided meditation
💆 Massage
🔥 Sitting around the fire
💬 Connection and conversation
✨ And, importantly… some quiet.

Because our nervous systems need quiet too.

We live in a world where we're constantly ON — phones, messages, notifications, work, family, responsibilities, appointments and an endless stream of information.

Sometimes we need permission to put all of that down for a while.

I've always been very clear about where the wellbeing experiences I offer fit.

They aren't a replacement for GPs, psychologists, psychiatric services, medication or other professional and clinical support when those are needed.

I see what I provide in nature as something that can sit alongside and complement them.

Movement. Nature. Massage. Meditation. Sound. Human connection. Non-verbal ways of slowing down and simply being.

Different forms of support can work together as part of looking after the whole person. ❤️

That's why it was particularly meaningful seeing healthcare professionals themselves experience what we do — watching people who normally spend their days caring for others finally relax, unwind and recharge.

And hearing their fantastic feedback afterwards about how they felt personally, rather than professionally, meant a great deal.

Sometimes wellbeing isn't about fixing anything.

Sometimes it's simply about creating a safe space where, for a few hours, nothing is being asked of you.

Just breathe.
Listen.
Feel the warmth of the fire.
Look at the trees.
Put the phone away.
And allow your nervous system a little quiet. 🌅🌲✨

The people who look after us need looking after too. ❤️

💙 LET’S GET BEHIND THIS YOUNG LAD — CARLTON! 💙

Carlton is just 10 years old, and he’s taking on the Junior Great North Run in memory of his dad, Karl, who he sadly lost to su***de on 26th June. 💔

And incredibly, this young lad has faced even more in the weeks since.

On 18th August, Carlton lost one of his fingers following a traumatic accident — yet despite everything he has been through, he is STILL determined to take part and run for his dad, Karl. 💙💪

Just take that in for a moment.

He’s only 10 !

Every single step Carlton takes will be for his dad, while raising money for Mind to help support other people who are struggling with their mental health.

His family are incredibly proud of him — and I can completely understand why.

🌟 He’s already a superstar in my eyes. 🌟

So come on everyone, let’s get behind Carlton! 🙌💙

Whether it’s £1, £5, £10 or simply sharing this post, every bit of support can make a difference.

💙 Every step is for his dad Karl.
💙 Every donation could help somebody else.
💙 And after everything this young lad has faced, let’s show him just how many people are behind him.

👇 SPONSOR LINK IS IN THE COMMENTS 👇

Go smash it, Carlton! 💪💙
Your dad Karl would be incredibly proud of you.

🌙✨️ 13,000 FOLLOWERS! !✨️🌙

THANK YOU! ❤️

Apparently 13 is unlucky for some… but for me, it seems to have followed me around for years — and I’ve always seen it more as a number of alignment, change and new chapters.

And when I actually think about it… 13 pops up in my life A LOT. 👀🤣

✨️ I signed TWO different salon leases, years apart, on Friday the 13th.

📺 My appearance on Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes was… Episode 13.

🔥 Before all of this, I spent 13 years working for British Gas — doing a slightly different type of energy work back then. 🤣⚡️

🌙 And then there’s the Moon…

A solar year contains roughly 12.37 lunar cycles, so depending on how the dates fall, some calendar years contain 13 full moons. The number 13 has therefore become strongly associated in modern spiritual traditions with the Moon, nature, cycles, intuition and feminine energy.

And then we get to the witches… 🧙‍♀️😜

The association between 13 and witchcraft has a fascinating history, although plenty of it is folklore rather than ancient fact. One of the best-known ideas is the “coven of 13” — the belief that a traditional gathering of witches consisted of 13 people.

That idea became especially prominent in writings about witchcraft from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and 13 gradually became wrapped up with imagery of witches, lunar cycles, transformation and the mysterious.

So…

13 years at British Gas.
Friday the 13th salon leases.
Episode 13.
13 moon cycles. 🌙
And now 13,000 followers.

Considering I spend half my life in the woods, around fires, talking about energy, meditating under the Moon and listening to gongs…

Maybe I’m a witch after all. 🧙‍♂️🤣🌲🔥🌙✨️

Seriously though, 13,000 of you following this journey is incredible.

Thank you for supporting Starboy, the retreats, the wellbeing work, the madness, the serious stuff, the laughter and everything in between.

13K — I think I’ll call that lucky. ❤️✨️

💛 TODAY IS WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY.
This is me and my son, Ben. ❤️

I could fill this post with statistics today.

I could tell you how many people die by su***de every year.

I could tell you how many families are left trying to understand something they may never fully understand.

But this morning, I just want you to look at this photograph.

Because behind every statistic is a face.

A laugh.
A personality.
A whole life.

A son. A daughter. A mam. A dad. A brother. A sister. A friend.

My statistic has a name. His name is Ben. ❤️

Ben died by su***de in June 2024, aged just 22.

Since then, I've learned that grief and happiness can exist together.

You can laugh and still be grieving.
You can build a good life while missing someone every single day.
You can carry unimaginable sadness and still find happiness, purpose and reasons to keep moving forward.

I've also learned that someone can smile, laugh, work, train, socialise and appear absolutely fine — while fighting a battle very few people can see.

That's why days like today matter.

But the conversations can't stop when World Su***de Prevention Day ends tonight.

They need to happen tomorrow too.

And next week.

And on an ordinary Monday when somebody isn't quite themselves.

Since losing Ben, I've tried to turn some of my pain into purpose through my work, nature, wellbeing and community. 🌳❤️

Throughout September and right up until 18th October — what would have been Ben's 25th birthday — my Group Workouts at Congburn Woods, Durham are completely FREE. 💪🌿

And on 18th October, I'll also be holding a FREE Soundbath in nature in Ben's memory. ✨

No big campaign.

No complicated message.

Just people coming together.

Moving. Talking. Breathing. Listening. Connecting.

Because helping someone doesn't always start with knowing the perfect thing to say.

Sometimes it starts with four simple words:

“How are you — really?”

And then staying long enough to hear the answer.

So today, I'm asking you to do one thing.

If somebody came into your mind while reading this…

message them. Call them. Check in. ❤️

You don't need a reason.

For Ben.
For every family living with this loss.
For every person struggling quietly.

And most importantly…

for every person who is still here. 💛
