A County Down Under

It has been one hell of a journey this past year of A County Down Under.  You have all been through each step with me, the good, the bad and the ugly.
I thought i would kick start the new season with an update on my life, lockdown in Sydney and finding love again.

I hope this episode teaches you that everything happens for a reason and that you are stronger than you think. Remember you have survived a 100% of your toughest days so far and everything in life leads you to the best moments, trust the process.

Today on the podcast I am joined by Ronan O'Brien founder of Breathwave Ireland.

Breathwave is used in a meditative setting whereby people are guided through a process of relaxing and allowing their mind to be still whilst focusing on their breathing, which brings many benefits including anxiety management, detoxification, nervous system repair, and sometimes trauma release. Through a Breathwave practice, the breath is accessed as the vehicle to achieve deeper insight and clarity to one’s own questions, while supporting the letting go of stuck residual emotional patterns and energies.

Today on the podcast, I am joined by Mark Eaton. Like many of us, Mark moved abroad for a better life and a change. Unfortunately, not long into his new life in Melbourne, the country went into lockdown. Melbourne had one of the toughest lockdowns in the world. He stuck it out for many months and after lots of difficult discussions,  Mark decided to head back to Ireland. Only days later, Melbourne came out of the lockdown.

We discuss life during lockdown and bringing the Aussie lifestyle back home to Ireland.

Last week, we had the annual Darkness Into Light Walk. Each year the walk provides an opportunity for people to connect with their local community and to show their support for those who have been impacted by suicide. Their team of dedicated volunteers, in Ireland and overseas, return year on year to make the event a success and to help us all continue to raise awareness in the global fight against suicide and self-harm.

In this episode I discuss grief and loss; how we can begin to heal following the death of a loved one and how we can support someone going through grief.
I am joined by Aoife Butler to hear her professional and personal insights. A very moving conversation following the death of her beloved brother Matthew.

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the Co-founders of Ireland's largest and leading athlesiure brand Gym+Coffee, Diarmuid McSweeney. Diarmuid, alongside his friends Karl Swaine and Niall Horgan had lived abroad for a few years (Karl and Diarmuid in Sydney and Melbourne, Niall in San Francisco). They all noticed something really nice about the lifestyle there – people socialised in a very different way than they had previously tended to in Ireland.

It wasn't until his return from Australia that the entrepreneurial dream was realised. Soon Gym+Coffee was born. 

 In this episode Diarmuid discusses what makes Gym+Coffee the unique athleisure brand that is taking the world by storm, working with famous faces such as Brian O’Driscoll who is Head Of the Community and having just has announced a new partnership with singer Niall Horan.

This episode was based off a recent live I did with Olivia Martin.

Olivia is a certified life coach who specialises in helping hundreds of women worldwide heal from their heartbreak, get over their ex and live their dream.

We did things a little bit different, this time I was in the hot seat.

It was a very raw and honest discussion on how I found myself in the darkest place while in Australia. I had spent months trying to mask it to everyone, but as the weeks and months passed, my heartbreak had become much bigger. I had to reach out for help.

I discuss how my life has changed for the better and I am the happiest I have ever been.


Your happiness shouldn't come for anyone but you.
