My Yellow Couch Podcast

In this episode I chat with Lisa Walsh, known as MySmallWonder on social media. Lisa shares her families experience through her daughter Keevas limb lengthening surgery this past year.

Keeva was born with Achondroplasia, known as Dwarfism.

We chat all things strength and resilience, the positives and the negatives, the successes and the challenges they have as a family living in a world that physically and very often emotionally will not adapt to Keevas needs and her activism as a mother who would like to change that.

I really enjoyed chatting with Lisa. Her compassion and strength of character shine through her words. She is every bit my kind of kick ass woman who refuses back down.

Enjoy.

*Apologies for the sound glitches. Issues in the studio this week.*

In this episode I chat with Shonagh and Ollie of BackPackingCraic, my absolute favourite Instagram account.

Currently back in Ireland for Christmas we sat down to chat all about the last 6 months, where they have travelled, highs, lows, relationship challenges and where they are off to next.

Shongah and Ollie give a real, honest and unfiltered account of what it is like to spend day after day with each other navigating their relationship and countries with humour and an honesty so refreshing I know that you will enjoy listening to them as much as I did finally meeting them in person.

Enjoy!

In this episode I chat with Barbara Scully, writer and broadcaster. Opinion, travel features and solving problems on NewstalkFM.

Barbara speaks so much wisdom about single parenting, blended families, raising daughters, navigating her way through her 50's and why being heard as a woman is vital to our well-being and existence.

I enjoyed our conversation so much and learned that turning 50 next year is not something to lament. I learned it should be celebrated.

Enjoy!

In this episode I chat with Laura Cunningham, IMA Magazine Editor of The Year 2018/19. Editor of Confetti Magazine and Author of The Wedding Planner.

We get right down to business on all the stupid shit people say in times of crisis and wonder why we are not changing the way we speak as language matters so much.

We chat about single parenting, unsolicited advice and our mutual distaste of online toxic groups that seem to exist to tear each other down.

We are NOT down with this!

Laura is an intelligent, funny, kind and kick ass woman who I know you will love to listen to.

Enjoy!

In this episode I speak with Karen Barry, a 53 year old World silver medalist and European gold powerlifting powerhouse.

We chat all things being a woman in a sport designed for men, smashing glass ceilings and records and our excitement about the growing number of female lifters and coaches on the rise.

Karen is exactly the kind of woman who inspires me to kick ass in all areas of my life.

A visible, vibrant and one hell of a strong woman both physically and mentally.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 3.

I chat with Nessa Cronin, of VanityFair Boutique about body confidence, wearing the clothes you like and not what we are told we should wear for our shape and learning to be comfortable in our own skin.

We discuss choosing not to have children and the challenges of other people's perception of such a choice. Not getting married and loads of other nuggets of wisdom.

Strong, visible, vibrant woman. My favourite kind!

Welcome to episode 2.

I chat with Carmel O Sullivan about what makes her strong, visible and not afraid to speak her mind.

We explore being born strong, and having to work at it. What are the advantages of such strength and does it come at a cost?

What does being visible as a woman mean to her and other little nuggets of strength.

Enjoy!
