A County Down Under

Mark has been on the podcast throughout each season and they always seem to be one of the most popular episodes for listeners.

Mark has a way of making you think deeper into human existence, our purpose and whether you are aligning with your values and opening your heart.

This is three hours long, Mark always likes to go Joe Rogan style. So tune in and let go.

So tune in to hear his most recent experiences in exploring plant medicines, COVID, Mental Health, Relationships, the idea of never having kids and how his closure of being kicked out of Australia played a big part in his road to healing.

This episode will relate to anyone who is in the lead up to their 30's...or any big milestone age.

Remember, growing old is a privilege. And yes I sobbed the night before turning 30 mourning the loss of my twenties.

This Sunday 10th October marks World Mental Health Day.


This year, more than ever, it is important to look after your mental health.


In this episode I discuss environmental depression. Who are you spending your time with that could be making you feel drained? Are you over committing to meeting people each week? Are you a people pleaser? How many of your friends who comment under your pictures on instagram actually check in on you outside of public social media posts?

Could small tweaks to your lifestyle and friendship circle, change your mindset and mood?


Join us this Sunday to press pause on your busy life:

Martine & Sean moved to Australia from Belfast 7 years ago and live in Sydney with their beloved dog Bruno.

In May while on a trip to Hamilton Island to celebrate what should have been her Wedding Day which has been postponed due to Covid, Martine found two lumps in her breast.

At 29 years of age, extremely fit & healthy it was a huge shock to Martine, her fiancé Sean, their families and wide circle of friends when she received confirmation that it was breast cancer. Thousands of miles away from home and with the pandemic shutting all international borders, Martine needed her mummy and daddy by her side.

This is her story.

Ryan is a local lad, not too far up the road from me. His story is very similar to many of us, plays GAA, he went to Uni, travelled Australia and spent some time in the USA during his studies

But something magic happened. He became one of the biggest singer and song writers to come out of Ireland and has toured all over the world with Ed Sheeran, Kodaline, Snow Patrol, Foy Vance The Corona’s and Dermot Kennedy.

I caught up with Ryan just before he performed to 40,000 people over the weekend, headlining with Dermot Kennedy.

He discusses how music was always on the back burner but meeting his idol Foy Vance while flipping burgers in America changed everything. Vance asked him what he had to say when it came to his art. And he didn't have an answer. He only sang covers. This sparked a fire in Ryan's belly to write his own songs and the rest... is history. Foy Vance is now his mentor.

Tune in to this fantastic episode, what an inspiring story.

PART TWO:
Ciara and her boyfriend David Gavin moved to Canada from Mayo in 2017. They were childhood sweethearts, madly in love and excited to start a new adventure together. A few months after settling into their new lives, David travelled to a GAA match with his teammates. They stopped at a lake to cool down but tragedy struck when David was pulled under the water and never resurfaced. This is a heartbreaking story but Ciara emphasises the importance of having a community abroad and discusses learning to be happy again.

Today on the episode I am delighted to have Keith Donnelly on.
If you ever need inspiration or a kick up the ass to do something you always dreamed of, this is the episode for you. Keith is a true inspiration and beacon of hope for those who have always dreamed of living in Australia but feel they left it too late.
Keith discusses going back to University later in life to study Mental Health Nursing in Dublin and then moving his family to the other side of the world to start a new life in Sydney.
But Keith didn't stop there, as well as a full-time job in the Prince of Wales Hospital, Keith has set up Keith's Closet, for Mental Health Patients. "A lot of our mental health patients have insufficient clothing so my purpose was to change that by transforming our seclusion room into a walk-in wardrobe complete with a fitting room in a very relaxed environment."

What an inspiring story. Follow Keith's journey and get in touch to help volunteer @keithsclosetofficial
