MAKE A DATE WITH EPISODE 68!

Well-ity, well-ity. Episode 68 and not a child in the house washed.

This week my very special guest is House and Home Editorial Director and Beaut.ie founder, Kirstie McDermott. We talked about freebies, freelance and Jurassic Park, all your classic convo hot topics. This episode packs a lot of information in so have your ears primed! I also mention tung oil about 35 times as I have spent too much time treating my bedside lockers with it over this Bank Holiday weekend. I have almost lost my mind varnishing, coating, sanding...oh my! You can learn more about this wondrous liquid here ; ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tung_oil Anyway, I've decided, I'm not a tung oil type of gal so me and my 63 strong design team will be reimagining the lockers going forward. It's a trying time for EO'MD and no mistake!

Share this episode if you like it and please leave five stars on iTunes + a review if you enjoyed it! It really helps.

Until next time invisible humans,

EO'MD.

A PIECE OF PODCAST HEAVEN-IT'S EPISODE 67!

Like me, my super guest this week has two names. By day, she is Karen Constantine and by..eh..online, she is known as Lovely Girly Bits!

Karen has been blogging and creating online since 2009. This year, she took a leap of faith and decided to fully commit to her digital life. It's been a slow and steady ascent for Lovely Girly Bits but she has grown her audience by being real, like JLO. Karen is an inspiration for anyone who is scared to make a change in their life (however big or small) but feels like they don't know where to start. It can be overwhelming but slow and steady wins the race pals. Through hard work, she had parlayed her passion into a career and there's no reason why you can't do the same.

I hope you enjoy our chat and if you like it, please put a social media ring on it and leave a review. I know you hear podcasters go on about reviews all the time but that's because they really help move episodes up the charts so more people see it. You could also pass it on to someone you know who may enjoy it too. Every little helps maaaates ; )

Until next Tuesday my invisible friends.

EO'MD.

CLICKITY CLICK! IT’S EPISODE 66.

Ahoy! This week my very, very special guest is one of my great pals and great talent chef Anna Haugh.

You may have seen her host Saturday Kitchen and Royal Recipes on the BBC or even Pointless Celebrities on Channel 4 but Anna is far from pointless. She has been working her tush off for years in kitchens across Europe honing her skills and making a name for herself as one of the most successful chefs in London. Starting out with Derry Clarke in l’Ecrivain in Dublin she has also worked for the acclaimed Gualtiero Marchesi’s in Paris, Pied à Terre in London, Gordon Ramsey at London House and Bob Bob Ricard.

I chatted to Anna when she was over in Dublin working at food festival a few weeks ago after a long day of service. Because she is my friend, I ignored her exhaustion and forced her to talk to me. I’m lucky to know her and I’m sure you will enjoy hearing her jourrrrrrneeeeyyy (plus the story of her dad stealing a stick of unripe bananas when he was small). Anna is destined to be a household name and I can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

If you like this episode, please leave a review. It takes seconds and means you can continue to listen to the podcast for FREE. Plus, if you like it, why not share the link with some friends you think might enjoy it too.

Now, if you're ever in London and want to treat yourself to great cooking and service here is the link for Anna’s restaurant, Myrtle Restaurant https://www.myrtlerestaurant.com/ TELL HER ESTHER SENT YOU (She will charge you double)

SAINTS ALIVE! IT'S EPISODE 65!

My overachieving guest this week is writer, editor and now VIP head honcho, Vicki Notaro. As Editor in Chief at Steller magazine, she has seen the title's readership soar. She has also written for The Irish Times, Irish Examiner, Buzzfeed and Irish Tatler to name BUT A FEW. If that wasn't enough, she hosts the highly successful podcast The Glow Up and is a regular contributor on radio and TV. I could not be more jealous ; )

We talk about how she got to the top of her game and what it feels like when you lose everything and have to start hustling for your career all over again. 

Vicki was a dream so pop in those earbuds and settle down to hear her story.

Until next Tuesday my friends!

PEACE AND LOVE.

EO'MD.

WILL YOU STILL NEED ME? WILL YOU STILL FEED ME? WHEN I'M EPISODE 64?

Shut that door; it's episode 64! I had the total pleasure of spending time with publishing and creative powerhouse Melanie Morris.

Melanie started her career in PR in the ‘80s landing her first job with Lynn Franks a.k.a the woman who inspired Edina Monsoon in Absolutely Fabulous. Franks had Gaultier, John Galliano and John Rocha on her books and the world she worked in was busy and buzzy. After learning the ropes there, Melanie went on to work for another top PR, Matthew Freud but when a recession hit England, she decided to return home to Dublin. She wasn't back long when she set up D-Side magazine and after many successful years as a publisher, was headhunted to Image magazine where she eventually became Editor in Chief.

Melanie has worked with so many creative people in Dublin and has given countless writers, photographers and designers their breaks. She is a dynamic force, always ten steps ahead of the competition. She now focuses her energies on her company Genius Ideas and is quite simply, genius. I LOVED chatting to her and I hope you get inspired after hearing her story.

Listen to the end to find out who next week's guest is ; ) WHAT A TEASE.

Until next Tuesday pals!

EPISODE 62 WITH SAOIRSE MCHUGH!

G-g-g-guess who's back in the housssse?!........eh me! I am back in the house and my very special first house guest iiiiiiis, Peter Casey slayer, Saoirse Mc Hugh!

Saoirse was a Green Party candidate for the Midlands-Northwest region in the European elections in May and while she was not elected, she caught the attention of the nation when she appeared on RTE's Prime Time.

Saoirse told me that she never planned on entering politics but after years of inaction from her local elected representatives, she decided to take matters into her own hands. We talked about her unease at putting herself in the public eye but how the election process has emboldened her. Prior to running in the elections, Saoirse had no social media and was living in bliss on Achill Island. Things have definitely changed for her. She's been described as an Irish Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and if she decides to remain in politics, the future is looks brighter.

I am so pleased to have had the chance to chat with Saoirse and I hope you like it too.

Don't be afraid to get in touch at [email protected]. I'd love to hear from you. PLUS, if you enjoyed this week's episode, please rate, review and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

THE BOOM IS BACK BAYBUH!...or at least this podcast is.

Until next Tuesday cutie pies, toodle-o!

EO'MD.
