#78: “That’s why I scream about mental health” | Sandra Dillon @fsn_support

Welcome to Partners in Positivity. A place for deep conversations. 

Back in October we were asked by a friend, community legend & past guest Fred Hennessy, Owner of Fitt Conditioning Finglas, to record an episode to raise awareness on FSN, an organization in Finglas. FSN is Finglas Support & Suicide Prevention Network. In the past three years Fred has helped raise a massive €55,876.46 for FSN through the Finglas to Howth Summit half marathon. 

In this episode we were left speechless at times and in awe of our guest Sandra Dillon. Sandra started as a committee member in FSN and has worked many roles since, she is a volunteer and freely gives her time to support this organization that she is truly passionate about. She is determined to use her voice as a voice of hope to anyone that needs it. She courageously shares her story of struggle with her own mental health after having her first child, what’s known as post natal depression. 

In this conversation we discuss:

1. Mental Health
2. Random Acts of Kindness 
3. Empowerment & Wellness
4. Post Natal Depression
5. Support that’s freely available
6. Community Support 
7. Volunteering Opportunities 

** For anyone listening who may be triggered by a conversation on suicide or mental health, please check-in with yourself and ask will listening to this conversation help or hinder you?

Welcome to Partners in Positivity... a place for deep conversations.

Two and a half years ago we invited a gorgeous friend of ours onto the podcast, at that time she said it wasn’t the right time for her. She felt she couldn’t do it. A part of her wasn’t ready. Today we feel a deep sense of pride and peace to release our conversation with this gorgeous being. Welcome to episode 77! 

Have you ever felt broken or that you’re unlovable? 

We’re here to introduce to you the gorgeous and gracious voice of Gillian MacGann, a lady who very courageously and vulnerably shares some of her story with us and the inner workings of her mind. Through Gillian’s life journey and the quest for finding something better for herself she came across the world of Personal Development and then Life Coaching through a great friend of hers. It has helped her a lot. Before this Gillian said she felt an emptiness, she didn’t know what was missing but she knew something was missing. This path has helped her find and feel more fulfillment. 

This is a soft and deep conversation covering the exploration on who Gillian is, how she became a Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, and ultimately how she changed her life. 

Grab a pen and paper. Get ready to pause and take note... because there are lots of extra gems - in the form of sharings that Gillian poses to us all to get to know ourselves better. If you do choose to stop, look into yourself and journal we would love to know what you discovered about yourself from listening to Gillian. Please feel free to DM or comment on our IG post for this poddie!

On this episode with Gillian we discuss:

1. Self talk
2. Belief 
3. The thrill that comes from change

This trio 👩🏼👩🏼‍🦰👩🏼 are here to be vulnerable, share life wisdom and soothe your soul. Listen & unwind fellow partners in our positivity peace project 😉💕✌🏼

Over this four part series we uncover, discuss and question what it means to be “emotionally bulletproof” with our gorgeously open and insightful guest, Ava Hennessy. 

In our final episode of the series, Part 4 we conclude by reviewing what we covered in the first three episodes: 


What it means for us to be emotionally bulletproof, how many emotions do we have and what is the emotional scale?
When we feel emotional, is it best to transform our emotions or act on them first?
What tips, tricks, techniques do we use and can offer to feel better?

We have a range of emotions that influence the course of our day and course of our lives. It was a joy and honour to open this discussion for you to learn something of value about your emotional state. 

Ava and the PNP gals invite you to see yourself in this conversation, soothe your emotional being and bring you up the emotional scale a little. Listen & relax fellow partners in our positivity and peace project.
