"I’m a firm believer in putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to help you grow. This year is the right time for me to step out of the shadows in a number of aspects of my life. I’m unsure exactly how I’m going to do this but getting on the front foot and understanding my goals will be the foundation. A supportive network will help drive me on and keep me accountable throughout the year."

"It's hopefully not too wishy washy, but I'm looking to achieve a greater sense of purpose in my life. I'm finding it difficult lately to really feel present in my life, always looking outwards at what others are achieving, rather than focusing on my own development. I don't know what I want out of life, and that scares me because time just ticks on. So I guess it's a sense of self, a better understanding of who I am now and who I want to become."

"I fell into a terrible rut throughout Covid and lost all motivation for most things. I have been finding it hard to get myself going in regards to a healthier lifestyle. I feel like I’ve just become a mammy with no other goal or focus. I talk myself out of things because I feel fear when it comes to doing things particularly when i'm alone. I think an accountability group will help a lot and I'm ready to be part of a crew and tackle my fear in 2023."

"I really want to regain my confidence in 2023 and lead a healthier, happier life. It would be great if this included increasing my fitness to have the ability to take on a couple of the bucket list items too, such as climbing Carrauntoohil and Croagh Patrick. I would also like to do my first marathon swim.  Most importantly, I want these changes for life not to look good in a dress in a few months time. Assistance in the form of support and encouragement to try new things, to stick at what I start and to finish it out no matter how tough it gets. I want to reciprocate this support to everyone else in the group so that everyone will gain maximum benefit from participating."
