Whether it’s a different country, county or simply outside your 5km, we are all missing home. 

In this episode we catch up with Irish mum Laura, The Glam Shamrock to talk about what it's been like living in the UK this year and missing Ireland. 

Dreaming of landing home in Dublin Airport with her son Flynn, Laura shares what thousands of Irish mums who live abroad feel like right now. We talk about Flynn’s c-section birth and her recovery, how she has spent her first year of motherhood away from the people she loves, how pandemic parenting has shifted her priorities, the positives and negatives of a lockdown maternity leave and how she felt returning to work. 

But above all, ahead of St. Patrick’s Day, how she feels about the next time she can be back on Irish soil. 

Ahead of St Patricks Day this week, we hope this episode supports everymum missing Ireland, missing home, right now.

In advance of International Women's Day our host Sinead O'Moore talks to Kim O'Sullivan, mum of three and owner of the award winning brow mecca The Dublin MakeUp Academy

As a single mum in her 20’s Kim O’Sullivan was the last at creche to pick up her baby and yet not earning nearly enough. 

Kim had a dream, she had a talent and now after the birth of Calum, she had a purpose. 

And so she did what many are afraid to do - she left her job and embarked on a journey to becoming the business owner of the award winning The Dublin Make Up Academy, and she fell in love and has welcomed two more babies into this world - Alex and only a few weeks ago, her baby girl Indie was born. 

We talk about how different an experience these births were, how her family are what give her the drive to pursue her business dreams and how through really believing in yourself, you can create the life you love.

Meet Amanda McGuinness, an incredible women and mother to 4 children - daughter Hayley and three autistic boys Conor, Jack and Max.

The arrival of Conor, Amanda's first son has taken her on an an exceptional 11 year journey from struggling to reach a diagnosis for her little baby to herself being diagnosed as autistic as an adult and now has become one of the leading autistic advocates in Ireland supporting thousands of families through littlepuddins.ie and the autistic educator.

Here with our host Sinead O'Moore she talks about those early signs, the judgements of others, how incredibly important finding a support system was for her and how her boys have transformed her life as she now understands and loves who she is.

*Trigger Warning

This journey is transformative and full of positivity and pride, but it also came with terribly low mental health days as Amanda describes the suicidal thoughts she experienced at the height of a period of depression which may effect listeners.

We want to thank Amanda for her honesty in discussing this with us as talking more openly really is the solution. If you need to talk about the issues raised in this episode please reach out to:

Out of something bad, must come something good, and sometimes all we need to do is to just go for it. 

This week, host Sinead O'Moore talks to Sinead Kavanagh, mum of two and creator of The Beautiful Truth about her positive mental attitude, her family priorities and how after being diagnosed with cervical and then thyroid cancer she found herself motivated to do something for her. 

Setting up her blog while recovering gave her a purpose each day and she built a community of like minded people to connect with and it's now given her more financial security and freedom to spend more time with her children.

And for so many of us right now, that’s what we need.

This past year has wildly shifted our priorities and what we want to get out of life. 

So whether it’s a new home, a new job, getting your health checked, another baby or a new passion - start today, do it for you.

everymum the podcast is back and to kick off season 4 supported by WaterWipes we have an amazing giveaway for you - enter here

To kick off season 4 our host Sinead O'Moore have a story with a very happy ending as broadcaster and mum of 3 Suzanne Kane talks to us about Sadie, her 2020 Rainbow baby. 

In December 2019 Suzanne heard those words she never expected to hear “there is no heartbeat”. 

Bruised with sadness she did what many of us do and put on a brave face, suppressed all that emotion, pretended it didnt happen and didn’t dare dream for another chance. But in the midst of all that went wrong in 2020, something went very very right and as Suzanne explains, Sadie, the measure of her dreams was born. 

Here, in Suzanne's very warm honest and witty way we talk about how she felt through her grief, and her joy, her pandemic pregnancy & birth and the love upon meeting her gorgeous girl at the end of her rainbow.

In this final episode of everymum the podcast season 3, Tara O’Farrell joins our host Sinead O'Moore to open up about her fertility journey, from the moment with her GP when she learned she was pregnant, to the moments with her GP when she asked why was she not conceiving again.

Tara's story has a happy ending, and in just a few weeks time she’ll meet her second baby boy. Here she shares the steps she took to finding out what was wrong, how this pregnancy has had its anxious moments and how the waiting hoping wishing really does take its toll.

But most of all.

Tara shares how much better she felt once she could open up about it all, and was so surprised to see that in fact, all along, she was never alone.

Five children in five years, this week’s guest Sarah Battle shares with our host Sinead O'Moore how her happiness is the key to creating her happy home. 

Sarah’s stunning House by the White Thorns is her passion project, featured in RTE's Home of the Year and has grown a huge following on her instagram for its style and comfort - but when Sarah lost her sister Kate, the grief and deep sadness helped Sarah realise that her home is built on her own wellbeing. 

Here Sarah shares how she recognised that she needed support and began a really positive road back to herself and how she knows that her little people need her - so it’s essential she takes care of herself.

When she is happy and well, her home is happy and well.

This week on everymum the podcast Sinead O'Moore is joined by Caroline Foran, the number one bestselling author of Owning It and the Confidence Kit, our bull shit free guides to dealing with anxiety and fear. She is also the creator and host of the hugely powerful anxiety podcast series Owning It.

And here we have a really honest conversation about her new life as a new mum, her postpartum anxiety, the 4th trimester emotional rollercoaster and Matrescence, the process of becoming a mother.

New motherhood is not all cuddles and tea and gloriously serene Instagram posts. Too many of us are portraying a version of the reality and hiding the sometimes messy truths. But messy truths are real life, and so if there are days where you feel like you haven’t a clue what you are doing or that others are nailing it while you are drowning, trust me you are definitely not alone.

We get one magical life - it's our job to live it, and live it well.

This week our host Sinead O'Moore is joined by Alannah Sheehan a mum of three who earlier this year was diagnosed with terminal cancer but somehow has learned a new level of appreciation and happiness as she lives her life worth fighting for.

This most devastating news has taught Alannah incredible life lessons and here she shares them with us. 

This week last year, Alannah was on top of the world, her third child and first baby girl Phoebe was born. By March, she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme a rare incurable cancer with only a 50% chance of surviving past 2 years.

I can’t find the words to sing enough praise for Alannah Sheehan. 

I can’t explain why every single person must listen to her talk.

I can’t ever thank her enough for her words and perspective which have changed how I will forever appreciate and prioritise my health.
