Holly Ryan and I have gotten to know each other over the past year. She shared her story with me and feels ready to now share it further. 



When she was 18, Holly was attacked as she made her way home. She was so close to her house that her mum woke up to her screams. 



Thankfully Holly's mum and dad and a passer by stopped the attack and Holly was taken home. Today she takes me through the impact that night had on her life, how hard it was to share her story and how she healed. 



I'm so grateful to Holly for sharing her story today, I know it wasn't easy for her but she wants to use her voice to educate people. 



In the last couple of weeks a plan has been published by the government for supporting victim’s journeys through the reporting of sexual offence cases. Read more about it HERE

Dermot Whelan shocked the nation when he walked away from his hugely successful job of 21 years in radio. Today he speaks about the toll of not honouring your gut feelings, how to really forgive yourself and let go of certain stories from your past and how we can BE HERE NOW. This is full of heart and soul. Thank you Dermot!

S15 Ep9: The Good Glow - Dermot Whelan

Looking on at Hannah Saunders, everything seemed so perfect. She is Founder and Director of Hannah Saunders PR. Still in her early 30s, she has built her brand off the back of hard work, commitment and an impeccable eye for detail. Recently, Hannah took the bravest step one could take by speaking out and telling the world that as a child she was sexually abused. When I think of Hannah I think of the words' strength, resilience, kindness, openness, generosity, she is turning her pain into her power and is saving lives by telling her story. I am deeply honoured to speak to Hannah today and while the unimaginable happened to her, today is about her rising.

S15 Ep8: The Good Glow - Hannah Saunders

This week, I am bringing you something new and exciting. A mini reset. This podcast might just change the rest of your year. And it's a double whammy this week because afterwards I speak to Ella Mills aka Deliciously Ella about becoming the best version of yourself.

 

Today's questions: 

What am I doing in my life that’s working for me? 

What am I doing in my life that’s not working for me? 

What brings me joy? 

What brings me peace? 

What have I been holding onto for far too long? 

What do I need to let go of in order to move forward?

What is the feeling I would like more of in my life?



Thanks Yoplait Skyr for supporting The Good Glow this season. Click here for today's recipe.

Billy McCarthy is the son of first and second generation Irish immigrants Margaret and Bill McCarthy. Their lives changed forever on 9/11, when they lost their son and brother Michael Desmond in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centres in 2001. Michael Desmond worked on the 92nd floor of the North Tower, with a company called Carr Futures. He was 33, an assistant vice president, hugely successful and due to finish work that day at 10am. 

Today, Billy speaks to me about the day that changed everything and I am so grateful for his time.

S15 Ep6: The Good Glow - Billy McCarthy: Life After 9/11


Mark Mehigan’s book This Is Not A Self Help Book begins ‘My name is Mark and I am an alcoholic. You could probably also call me a drug addict.’ When I read that first line I knew this would be one of the most honest book I’d ever read and from that moment I couldn’t put it down. 



Today, I speak to Mark about his decision to share everything with the world, the good, the bad and the ugly. After spending much of his 20s addicted to alcohol and drugs, Mark found a way to turn his life around and he has never looked back. 



Order Mark’s book.
