  • NGF - EPISODE 9 - The Irish Conservative Mindset with Aine Gallagher

    You’ve probably been wondering, what’s happened to Next Gen Fem? We’re still here! Next Gen Fem have just been on a bit of a hiatus the last few months because of work commitments and personal priorities. At the end of day, myself and Fiona still have work and other responsibilities outside of NGF but we’re finally back with a brand new episode.

    In episode 9 of Next Gen Fem, which we recorded back in August of last year, we spoke to Aine Gallagher. Aine is a comedian & sociologist currently residing in Berlin where she is taking the time to develop her stand-up acts, while proving to herself and her family that being a comedian is a viable and sustainable career.

    Starting off as an Occupational Therapist, Aine never felt the career suited her and always felt like there was something missing until she found herself in the comedy scene via Bright Club in Galway. Aine recounts the struggle of pushing through that Irish conservative mindset that pursuing a career in the creative or performance arts isn’t just a hobby but something that is worth pursuing.

      • NGF - EPISODE 8 - Sometimes Failure is Good with Ciara King
        You might recognise the voice of this week’s guest as she is a regular on one of the biggest radio stations in Ireland. Ciara King, is a radio presenter on RTE 2FM with her long-standing co-host of 10 years, Chris Greene. She is also the author of the hilariously relatable, ‘Ciara’s Diary’, a fictional portrayal of what it’s like to grow up as a teenager in rural Ireland. 
        Ciara recounts her journey of how she got into the radio business, how Ciara’s Diary went from an evening radio segment to a fully-fledged novel. Ciara also explains how she believes she is being haunted by Domhnall Gleeson, and how this might be a sign from the entertainment powers that be.

        In this week’s episode of Next Gen Fem, myself and Fi Malone have the pleasure of speaking to former Irish International soccer player, Karen Duggan, awarded WNL Senior Player of the year in 2016.

        After years of playing soccer from a young age, Karen shares her story of breaking onto the Irish starting 11, all while searching for a career that suited her passion for soccer and goal of representing her country. 

        She also shares being a part of the Irish team that stood up against the FAI in 2017, requesting better facilities and treatment of the female players.

          In our new episode of Next Gen Fem, myself and Fi Malone speak to science communicator, clinical mentor and medical doctor, Ana Panigassi.

          Ana takes us on a rollercoaster of a journey, as she recounts her life growing up in Brazil – where she pursued a career as a doctor, joined the military, got married and sadly divorced, and in middle of everything contracted a virus that rendered her temporally paraplegic and on a long road to recovery.

          After a moment of serendipity and an opportunity for a career change presented itself, Ana was on her way to Ireland, where she now resides. We’ll let her fill in the blanks, of which will be sure to keep you on your toes.

          • NGF - EPISODE 3 - Empower Yourself with Louise Loughlin

            Episode 3, can you believe it? We are overwhelmed with the response and interest in our podcast and although it's been a bit of gap since our last episode, we are very excited to bring you our third episode in season 1 of the Next Gen Fem podcast. 

            In this episode myself and Fi Malone speak to Louise Loughlin, a personal trainer, founder and owner of the Female Athlete Body project i.e. the FAB project, and outdoor swimming enthusiast, among other things. 

            Louise takes us a rollercoaster of an adventure as she shares with us her journey to get to where she is now by making a big decision to take time away from mainstream life goals – like buying a house, marriage and kids – instead she decided to travel and experience what the world outside Ireland has to offer, opening her life to unimaginable experiences. Which ultimately helped empower herself to become the badass woman she is now.
