This week is a mish mash of magic! I birth my new podcast name - Hiberno Stories, and share the story of The Birth of Lú, Ireland's God of Light as mí na Lúnasa comes to a close. I also had the wonderful honour of speaking to David Keohan, better known by his Instagram handle, Indiana Stones - Ireland's first stone lifter in 60-odd years. We chat about the revival of the Tailteann Games at September Equinox (which I called Solstice), the ancient practice of Stone Lifting in Ireland, the Basque region, Iceland, and Scotland, and how a story by Flann O'Brien led David to discover an Irish tradition that might have completely died out if he had not gone stone searching on the islands off Ireland's West Atlantic Way. Oh, and my Substack is ready. Click the link below to access the story script and a glossary of the terms used in Lugh's story.

As the Kerry team win yet another GAA All Ireland final, beating champions over Meath, Donegal, on the weekend of the Lughnasa festival in Cloghane and Brandon, I share the story of Sam Maguire and the contribution he made to Ireland's 1916 Rising and ultimate semi-independence, his relationship with the "Big Fella" Michael Collins, and why Ireland's most prestigious Gaelic football trophy is named in his honour, despite his home county of Cork not winning it the year it was first presented. I also share a connection I made between Saint James, or Santiago de Compostela, the landing zone of Camino de Santiago pilgrims, Ireland's God of Light Lú, Croagh Patrick, and the Catholic Church. Substack coming soon. Stay tuned.

This week, I speak to Sandra Dee Robinson. Her bio speaks for itself.

Much to her surprise, the media has labeled Sandra Dee Robinson as the “Charisma Coach.” After years of working with business owners, experts and celebrities to perfect their presentation and on-camera skills, I guess the title fits!

But, so does: actress, author, TV host, podcast host, international speaker, trainer and dog & horse fanatic. Oh, and add: wife to a renown Hollywood stuntman. (Yup, never a dull moment)

As a teen, she left her hometown of Pittsburgh, PA and headed to New York to begin several decades of a successful career in Television. She became established with major roles on Another World, Sunset Beach, Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, The Bay and guest starred on many prime time shows and films, like CSI Miami, Criminal Minds and Two and a Half Men… among others.

Sandra Dee founded Charisma on Camera Performance Coaching in 2010 and integrated her Horsepowered Personal Leadership Programs and Retreats in 2020. These nature-based trainings pair leaders with horses so that they reach a level of communication and clarity to be the most effective modern leader they can be.

She is trainer certified in NLP, Hypnosis, Stage mastery as well as certified in Natural Lifemanship, trained in EAGALA, she is a Blue Ribbon Ambassador, Joyely Coach and is a Certified Success and Soul Business Coach

Her mission is to illuminate the path for leaders to fully express all they are Designed to be.
