  E21 Elmo Shorland's Story: Builder by Day, Cheerleader by Night. Fatherhood, Overcoming Loss & Breaking Stereotypes

  Aug 18, 20261h 37mS3

  Today’s guest is somebody with one of the most unique stories we’ve had on the Abel Lifestyle Podcast. By day, Elmo Shorland is a builder. By night, he’s a two-time National Champion cheerleader. On paper, those two worlds couldn’t be more different, but after spending nearly two hours with Elmo, you quickly realise this episode isn’t really about cheerleading. It’s about perspective, resilience and having the confidence to be yourself. We go right back to the beginning, talking about growing up, losing his dad at just eight years old and how that experience shaped the man he is today. Rather than allowing adversity to define his life, Elmo chose to focus on gratitude, positivity and making the very best of every opportunity that came his way. His outlook on life is genuinely one of the most refreshing I’ve come across. We also dive into how he found cheerleading, what it’s really like behind the stereotypes, winning back-to-back National Championships, being named Cheerleader of the Year, appearing on BBC News and even his experience on Channel 4’s First Dates . Alongside that, we explore what becoming a father has taught him, the values he hopes to pass on to his daughters and what success really means away from medals and achievements. This is one of those conversations that simply leaves you feeling better than when it started. It’s honest, uplifting and full of reminders that your circumstances don’t have to define your future. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, worried about what other people think or needed a reminder to see the positives in life, I genuinely think you’ll take something away from this episode. We explore: Losing his dad at just eight years old Choosing positivity through adversity Growing up and finding purpose Builder by day, cheerleader by night Breaking stereotypes and backing yourself Winning back-to-back National Championships Becoming the father he never had Confidence, resilience and mindset Behind the scenes of competitive cheerleading BBC News & Channel 4’s First Dates Raising two daughters

  E20 Laura Hurcombe's Story: From Surviving to Thriving. Overcoming Antidepressants & Building the Life She Always Wanted

  Aug 11, 20261h 19mS3

  Everyone has someone in their life who changes the way they think. For me, that’s Laura Hurcombe. In this episode of the Abel Lifestyle Podcast, I sit down with one of my closest friends for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had. Over the past few years, Laura has challenged me to think differently, believe in myself and become a better version of who I am. But behind the positivity and resilience is a journey that hasn’t always been easy. We talk openly about her struggles with mental health, the reality of taking antidepressants, the difficult decision to come off them, and what it really took to rebuild her confidence and create a life she’s genuinely proud of. This isn’t a story about overnight success. It’s about the small decisions, uncomfortable moments and consistent actions that slowly changed everything. We also explore how somebody who once said they’d never complete an endurance event went on to finish a Decathlon 5K, MacTuff, a walking marathon and a 15K inflatable obstacle course, proving that we’re often capable of far more than we believe. Throughout the conversation we dive into friendship, education, confidence, identity, mindset and the people who shape our lives without even realising it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your self-worth, struggled with your mental health or wondered whether life can genuinely get better, I hope this conversation gives you hope. Because Laura’s story is proof that you don’t have to stay where you are. If you enjoy the episode, please leave a rating, subscribe and share it with someone who might need to hear it.

  E19 Dease Kerrison's Story: From Goalkeeper to Ironman, Building DK1GK, Coaching & Never Standing Still

  Aug 4, 20261h 27mS3

  In this episode of the Abel Lifestyle Podcast, I sit down with goalkeeper coach, teacher and DK1GK founder Dease Kerrison. Having coached together at both Swindon Town Women and Southampton Women, we reflect on over a decade in football, the lessons coaching has taught us, and what it really takes to help young players reach their potential. We discuss the journey of building DK1GK over the past ten years, balancing business with full-time work in education, the biggest misconceptions around goalkeeping, and why coaching is ultimately about people rather than football. We also dive into Dease’s latest challenge, training for his first Ironman. From football fitness to endurance sport, we explore what has surprised him most, how his training has changed, and the mindset required to take on one of the toughest endurance events in the world. Finally, Dease opens up about suffering a broken arm, dealing with setbacks, and how adversity has shaped both his coaching and outlook on life. Whether you’re a football coach, teacher, athlete or simply someone looking to keep improving, there’s plenty to take away from this conversation. In this episode we discuss: Building DK1GK over the last 10 years Goalkeeping coaching and player development Lessons from football and education Coaching at Swindon Town Women & Southampton Women Balancing business, teaching and family life Preparing for an Ironman Football fitness vs endurance training Overcoming setbacks and injury Leadership, resilience and continuous improvement If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating, follow the podcast and share it with someone who might benefit from the conversation.
