In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, Christine — founder and director of SoulCarers — shares the story of how the company came to life five years ago. Born from her own lived experience with mental health challenges, and shaped by what she witnessed within her own family, SoulCarers was created from a place of understanding, compassion, and a desire to do things differently.

Christine opens up about the moments that led her to create a service that enables, rather than just supports — one that walks alongside individuals as they work to reclaim their lives, their confidence, and their sense of self.

This is more than a story of a company — it’s a story of healing, human connection, and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to get back on track with the right care around them.

Life isn’t just about the battles we face while training, it’s about the ones we fight within ourselves. Fighting Through Life is a deeply personal and inspiring podcast that follows Steve’s journey through martial arts, beginning as a teenager seeking strength after experiencing bullying. Growing up with anxiety and depression, Steve turned to martial arts as more than just a class of self-defence training, it became a lifeline, a way to find discipline, confidence, and inner peace.

Through the struggles of adulthood, martial arts remained a guiding force, helping him navigate life’s challenges and manage his mental health. Now, as the leader and Sensei of his own club, Steve shares his experiences, lessons learned, and the ongoing mission to help others through the power of martial arts.

Join us as we explore resilience, mental health, and the transformative impact of martial arts. Whether you’re on your own journey or simply looking for inspiration, Fighting Through Life is a testament to the strength we can find within.
