In this week’s episode Sinead O'Moore is back with a guest from Season 2 Sinead Hingston Green.

When we last spoke to Sinead Hingston she was raising her voice to share how difficult it was for parents to experience loss during the pandemic maternity restrictions. Available here.

Her episode supported an army of women who felt so abandoned and partners who felt so excluded. At the time Sinead shared her experience of a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy in 2020. Her story didn’t end there as she became pregnant again, and lost again that year. 

In early 2021 she and her husband gave their hearts one more time to the process and we recorded this episode with her little newborn Alby in her arms. 

We talk about the pain of 3 losses in 2020.

About how she found the strength to try again. 

About the community of other warriors she has connected with and is supported by. 

How anxious she was throughout the pregnancy.

And how in love she is with her 3 children.

In this episode, on the week of love… we celebrate a mothers love after loss.

Emma is a mother of 3, an artist a writer and a woman who has met severe challenges in motherhood. But here in this episode recorded just 3 weeks after the birth of baby no3 she tells us that her head is a very safe place to be these days. 

After her first son Emma experiences OCD and very frightening intrusive thoughts - which we talk about in this episode.

But the mind - just like the body can get ill in many different ways and so after her second baby Emma felt like her mood was low, energy low, joy low. 

And now with her third baby she can honestly tell us that we can heal, we don’t just need to survive, we can live amazingly happy days. 

Beyond the physical and mental challenges of motherhood, with the right help there can be OCD and PND and there can be, I love you.

In our final episode of 2021, as a parenting nation we could all do with a deep exhale and some words of wisdom.

Tara Rafter, The Navigation Coach joins us to help Sinead to try to make sense of how we are feeling and guide us towards 2022.

We talk about the emotional weight of the last few years. 

How challenging it is to raise our babies in a world that we are frightened of. 

And the power of some simple healing words.

Words like “you’re doing great”.

Because we are! 

So take that deep breath. Understand that if you are finding this hard it’s not because you are failing it’s because it actually is really really hard. 

And listen to this episode as it’s a little slice of therapy that we all need. 

Thank you for joining us and we will talk to you again next year.

In this weeks episode host Sinead O'Moore is joined by Emer O’Neill - the newest member of RTE’s Today Show, an author, and advocate and a mother of 2 doing her best to make positive changes in the world. 

Emer in her own words is too black to be white and too white to be black. 

Growing up in Ireland, nobody looked like her, had hair like her, skin like her, was her. 

To fit in, she didn’t share its impact. But it was taking its toll on her self identity, self love, self worth and mental health. 

And now as a mother of 2, she is doing what she can to advocate for meaningful change.

We talk about her career leap.

Breastfeeding in green rooms.

Racial abuse.

And her new children's book, "The Same but Different".

At 18 Emma had her first baby - who is now 18. 

And In those 18 years Emma has watched her daughter grow up, while growing up herself.

This is a come full circle kind of episode with laughter, honesty, vulnerable moments and a lot of empowerment.

And now, as her daughter turns 18 and her boys are in school it’s Emma’s time to follow her own dreams by leaving her job and pursuing her talent at making us all laugh.

On the day her daughter received her leaving cert results, Emma recorded her stand up appearance on the hugely successful Sky One’s The Deirdre O’Kane Show.

Every pregnancy is completely unique. 

There is anxiety and sickness, aches and pains for sure but there is also a beauty in growing new life. 

In this week’s episode host Sinead O'Moore is joined by Joanne Larby, to talk about the beautiful side of pregnancy.

Joanne is a best selling author, content creator and Host of “The other side of perfect’ podcast & is expecting her first baby in the new year.

Realising you have arrived at the exact point in time where you are ready to start a family is a major moment.

Here Joanne opens up about how and why she knew she was ready, her fear that it wouldn’t work, the calm when the test showed positive

and how she is preparing her mind her body and her relationship for birth.

Pregnancy is not perfect, the emotional, physical and mental challenges it brings can overwhelm us.

There are days where we feel great and days where we feel defeated. But there is intense beauty throughout.

Our bodies are incredible and in this episode we fully embrace and champion the beautiful side of growing a baby.

In this week’s episode our host Sinead is joined by RTE sports broadcaster and soon to be mother of 3 Evanne Ní Chuillinn to talk about secondary infertility, the mental and physical battle of trying to conceive and the relief when IVF is the answer. 

After 3 years of trying to conceive her baby, Evanne shares what it took to get here, about the monthly cycle of hope and despair, the side effects of Clomid and why she was so hesitant to try IVF - the treatment that in the end, worked.

This episode is a huge step forward for how we talk about fertility. 

How as women we need to share our stories so that we can learn about where and how to seek the right help and to dispel the myth that behind every baby announcement there was an easy conception, because for many of us there’s a tougher story of trying to conceive.

As women our hormones are all powerful. 

As mothers they control our cycle, our ovulation our ability to create, grow and birth life. 

And yet, there is so much unknown about the impact of burnout and balance can have on our minds and bodies in our late 30’s & 40’s.

In this week’s episode Sinead is joined by Peigin Crowley, founder of Ground Wellbeing, a wellness expert and entrepreneur who has enjoyed a thriving career developing award-winning spas from Adare Manor to The Merrion and a woman who at age 40 began to notice distinct changes in how her body and brain performed.

Her periods were regular. Her knowledge of menopause was limited to assuming it was this unsexy thing that happened much later when her periods stopped and the notion of perimenopause and its intense symptoms never entered her head. 

Here we talk about why as women we need to make friends with our cycles, our phases and stages of life.

We must aim for balance - not burnout.

And we must never apologise for it.
