I cannot tell you how much I loved this conversation. It made me belly laugh…and it made me cry.

​I’m joined by comedian, poet, storyteller, and truth-teller​ - the absolute powerhouse that is Aoife Dunne.

Aoife lives in Kilkenny with her boyfriend John, and​ in this conversation ​we talk about her incredible rise over the past few years, the joy and the pressure that comes with being so visible, and the abuse she receives online for speaking up.

She also openly ​discusses her decision not to have children​, a part of the conversation that I​'m sure will bring a lot of comfort to many listening.

But at the heart of this chat is Aoife’s relationship with her ​Mum Maria, who died suddenly of a heart attack, 15 years ago. The way she speaks about love​ and loss is raw and deeply moving​ and the funeral story will also have you in absolute stitches.

Aoife’s live show ​'Good Grief​' is touring from March to May.​ Go see it!

And I’d love it if you'd follow the new Instagram page for the pod
