September 12, 2023 Monotonous or magical? Rosemary Mac Cabe on the reality of parenting
All the way from Fort Wayne Indiana, this week's guest is author, journalist and podcaster Rosemary Mac Cabe. We cover a LOT, but one of the most fascinating topics was the difference between maternity leave here in Ireland versus the states – when I say the US system is crazy, I'm not joking. We also talk about how motherhood has come naturally to Rosemary, and yet at times she still finds it challenging, monotonous and not always fulfilling. We chat about how her relationship with her stepsons has changed since her son Atlas came along, and how Miss Rachel is the third parent in both of our households.

September 05, 2023 The solution to the parenting/work struggle - Michelle O'Keeffe, Co-founder of Platform 55
Michelle O'Keeffe, co-founder of Platform 55, helps employees and companies balance the demands of family life with their careers. They guide companies around maternity and paternity leave practices, flexible working, and various family needs, by appealing to their bottom line – it costs so much more to rehire and retrain a talented employee than to retain your employee and support a talent you already have. The workplace doesn't have to be a stress-inducer for parents of young families, and they're working hard to make sure it isn't! If you're a working parenting, you'll get a lot from this conversation.

August 29, 2023 Forget the online version of motherhood...with Dearbhla Toal aka Belle Azzure
Dearbhla Toal, or Belle Azzure, joins me to talk about all the challenges of motherhood, and how she's passionate about keeping things real when it comes to her own experience of being a parent. Expecting her second baby, Dearbhla is a parent to a toddler. She’s also a personal trainer, a Google marketer and an online influencer – you can imagine my first question was HOW?

Dearbhla says it's not easy and she wants to show on social media that perception is often not reality. We talk about her struggle with chronic sickness during pregnancy, how it impacts her Crohn's disease and how fitness and health is so important to her. We also talk about online comparison among mothers and how to avoid it.
I hope you enjoy my chat with the lovely Dearbhla, and you take some comfort knowing that what you see online is – a lot of the time – not truly representative of real life.

August 22, 2023 Your dream came true, It's twin girls - Jenny Dixon
Joining me this episode is actress Jenny Dixon, mum to twin baby girls, Bella and Capri. Herself and her husband Tom Neville went through a three-year-long fertility process, suffering losses along the way, but have found their happy ending with their girls. Jenny chats to me – in her infectiously positive way – about trying to stay positive and strong through loss, the magical moment she discovered she was having twin girls, and how she's getting on as a new mother. She also talks about how gratitude helps her, how Tom was sure he would cause a scene by fainting in the delivery room and how her eldest daughter (by two minutes) really leans into the big sister role, even at less than six months old.

June 13, 2023 Sleep Training… What You Really Need To Know - Anneka Muir
Ever heard the phrase ‘sleeps like a baby’ and laugh? As parents, sleeping like a baby can mean little to no sleep at all, but it might not have to be that way…There are a lot of misconceptions and misinformation around the concept of sleep training which prompted host Aisling Keenan to chat to sleep coach Anneka Muir. They talk about the science around sleep, how much things have changed in terms of our knowledge about how young children and babies sleep, and what exactly happens when you hire someone to help you with it. It goes without saying that whatever works for you and your family is what’s best, but if sleep isn’t working, this episode could be one that helps you!
