Una Coss is a nurse in Dublin and is very passionate about her work; so much so in fact that she's now gone back to pursue her master's degree in nursing at Trinity College Dublin. 

We thoroughly enjoyed a chat with Una in which we discuss not only her career and what it can mean to really care for patients but we also discuss Una's journey from never having any sort of fitness background and how she switched her mindset from the typical 6-week-bikini body- challenge to consistently training 5 days per week and falling in love with the process.

Emily Usher a.k.a The Ballsy Baker, sits down with us to talk about making the jump from full time employment to starting her very own business from scratch in an industry Emily is passionate about. We also get into the current trend in the fitness industry of photoshoot culture, Emily's personal experience with her own shoot and the impact that it's likely having or going to have on people in the future. We talked functional medicine, ketogenic diets, the gut-brain axis and of course had a few laughs along the way!
