Claire McLaughlin: Junior Doctor & Rugby Player

Claire McLaughlin is a 28-year-old junior doctor from Bushmills and a professional rugby player.

After admittedly not being any good at sports as a girl (except the monkey crawl), Claire went on to excel both academically and athletically in her teens.

This ultimately led her both playing for Ireland in the Rugby World Cup AND going through medical school.

In today's episode we chat about:

The role disciple has played in Claire's life
Techniques she uses to balance her multiple passions
How to avoid burnout and deal with disappointment
And the greatest challenges/successes she's faced along the way

(Including being a doctor during a global pandemic).

Enjoy!
