In this special live episode from Electric Picnic, Jen sits down with broadcaster, music connoisseur and fashion lover, Louise Duffy as she prepares her eldest daughter for the new school year. 

Best known for her popular RTÉ radio music show, Louise shares insights into her life as a mum to daughters Esmé and Elin and her relationship with (outnumbered) husband and Kerry GAA hero, Paul Galvin. She discusses her and Paul’s different parenting styles, the mental load that often falls on mothers, and her experiences balancing a busy career in radio with being a mum. Not to mention the importance of finding time to enjoy her marriage as people, not just parents. 

Jen also talks to Louise about her work as an ambassador for children’s charity, Barnardos. They are joined onstage by Deirdre Cahir, a team leader with Barnardos, who highlights the vital services Barnardos provide for children and families in need and the positive impact they can have. 

Aldi is a proud partner of both Barnardos and Electric Picnic.
