Welcome Back @happy_whole_ Ruairi Stewart. In part 2 of my conversations with Ruairí,  we discuss the art of letting go, relationships and connections. We dive into the world of parenting, realising each stage of a Childs development involves letting go. We get lost in a world of love and loss, heartbreak and healing.  Ruairi is a self-esteem expert that offers online counselling, he recognises peoples tendencies to people please and empowers them to break the habit. 

Ruairí Stewart is an experienced therapist who’s always in big demand due to his no-nonsense yet empathetic approach. He has trained in Psychology, CBT, meditation and hypnosis. All methods of counselling that I have used in the past. I really enjoyed my conversations with Ruairi and hope you pull something from it that will help you manage situations in your own life.

I got to sit down with Irelands favourite chef in the stunning surroundings of MacNean House, Blacklion.  I enjoyed an hour with this consummate and charming gentleman. A multi award winning chef with his own TV series on RTE, yet I was the one treated like a queen. I wanted to hear all about Nevens childhood, what foods resonate his childhood. Why he has never looked to open a restaurant outside of Blacklion and declined the many offers put to him to do so. His favourite restaurant to visit and what’s in  8 yr old twins Conor and Lucia lunchboxes. I won’t ever forget my time with Neven and I'm certain you’ll feel like you were there with us when listening to this conversation.

“Food for thought”  join me for an in-depth conversation with Robyn Taaffe, nutritionist, spirituality and health advocate, on the complex relationship we have with food. We discuss our tendency to comfort eat, our relationship with food and the emerging relationship we nurture with our children and their diet. We discuss how powerful our bodies are and how sometimes we need to adjust the jeans to fit the body and not the body to fit the jeans.
