Welcome back to In Your Corner with Keith Dixon - Episode 2.

This isn't about New Year's resolutions or January resets. This is about what really holds us together when motivation fades and energy drops flat - routine and structure.

Keith opens up about one of his lowest moments, sitting in a hostel in Dublin City Centre, watching life move on outside while feeling frozen in time. He shares the raw truth about taking responsibility, rebuilding trust in yourself, and how simple structure gave him stability, safety, and eventually freedom.

From early morning alarms to being present for his sons' school plays and football matches, Keith reflects on what really matters - presence over success, memories over achievements, and following through on your word to yourself.

If you're feeling disconnected or behind as January creeps back to life, this episode is for you. It's about stripping away the bullshit, cutting the excuses, and building confidence from the inside out.
