‘I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING’ WHEN ESTHER MET CAROLINE.Well, howdy doody. This week my cartwheelin’ and high achievin’ guest is best selling writer, Caroline Foran. Caroline’s first book, ‘Owning it: Your Bullshit Free Guide to Dealing with Anxiety’ was on the best seller list for 16 WEEKS! SIXTEEN WEEEEEKS-Hell-urrrr! Her next book, ‘The Confidence Kit’ is out in May of this year and no doubt, it will be just as successful as her debut. SOUND THE JEALOUSY KLAXON! JK of course. We talked about many things including Caroline being a natural leader, 'When Harry Met Sally', overcoming her debilitating anxiety and writing an incredibly successful book and lots more besides. She’s ‘your basic nightmare’ (this is another quote from ‘When Harry Met Sally’ before anyone loses their mind. Caroline was a dream). If you’re a long-time listener and haven’t left a review, well, what are you waiting for? Go to iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher and leave a few lines. Y’know, something simple like. ‘This podcast has completely changed my life’ or ‘Esther has no flaws and the voice of a nightingale drinking honey’. Something along those lines. If that’s too much, ‘good’ will also do very nicely.A new episode will be up next Tuesday so until then, have a great week my cutie patooties.

OH MY GOD, WHAT A COMPLETE-LY GREAT EPISODE!This week my extraordinary guest is writer, not MMA fighter, Sarah Breen, co-author of the number one smash hit selling book, Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling. We talked shite, telling the Olsen twins apart and how to write a mega-successful best-selling book so we can all copy them. If you haven't read the book yet, go and get a copy. You will laugh and you may even shed a little tear. Sarah was a dream to talk to on a cold, Sunday morning and I hope you enjoy it!E.xFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: estheromd.com/

THE 21ST EPISODE OF THE PODCAST! IT CAN NOW DRINK LEGALLY IN AMERICA!Alison Canavan started modeling in the supermodel era of Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington and was on a plane three to four times a week. She booked jobs all over the world and moved to New York in her twenties. Her life was a privileged one. She made great money and partied with famous faces but it was all smoke and mirrors. Alison used alcohol to avoid her feelings and was caught in a cycle of addiction. However, she worked out the way she was doing things wasn't good for her body or mind and in 2018, things couldn't be more different. With great effort and focus, she has created a brand new life for herself and her son James. I met Alison just before Christmas and we talked about what is means to be kind to yourself and becoming more compassionate.She was a joy and I hope, as always, you love it. Until the next episode (every Tuesday) my cutie pies, have a great week!Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: estheromd.com/Email: [email protected]: estheromdStitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-80-w…r-omoore-donohoe

NEW YEAR, NEW ME, NEW EPISODE!Well, new year, new episode but same me (i.e total cutie pie/sloth). I hope you all had a great winter/Christmas/Hanukkah (Monica) and shoved your faces full of chocolate and mince pies like gloopy little chompers. But now, a year of wonder, plans and 3-in1 trays lies ahead. The first guest of this new year is my AA Roadwatch inspiration, the dynamic and effervescent Lorraine Keane Devlin. Lorraine and I are *practically* career twins. We have both worked for AA Roadwatch, broadcast with Ian Dempsey and have stunning double barrel names. Alas for me, that is where the similarities end. Lorraine parlayed a morning traffic reporting slot on 2FM into an incredibly successful and lasting career. She’s even met the Queen of England and a week before Christmas, she met me, EO’MD, the Queen of Hearts and The 80% podcast. Don’t forget to like and subscribe The 80% on iTunes, Soundcloud and Stitcher + it would help so much if you leave a review too! Reviews and downloads push the podcast up the charts and I can rule the podcast school. Until next week my cuties, toodleoo!Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: estheromd.com/Email: [email protected]: estheromdStitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-80-w…r-omoore-donohoe

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE.Well, here we are now. December. Christmas. Winter. Whatever celebration you celebrate. We made it intact with all of our ears still working so we can listen to The 80% whenever we want; lucky us. This is just a little message from me to you to say thank you so much for listening and all your support this year. I really appreciate it and I am so thrilled at how the p'cast has grown over the year thanks to Y.O.U. I am writing this on the 21st of December, the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. From today on, the days get longer and we move into the lighter and brighter days. This is my wish for you all my little 80%-ers, that wherever you are and however your year has been, brighter days are ahead. And selection boxes. And roast potatoes. Mmmmmm. Potatoes. Have a great Christmas if that is what you are into and if you're not, have a great December. See you in January 2018 when I emerge from my slothful hibernation. Who knows what lies ahead! E.x

THE PODCAST CAN NOW BUY ITSELF A PINT; IT'S EPISODE 18!Chupi Sweetman-Durney was my magical (a favourite word of hers) guest this week and what a gem. Now, she's an multi-award winning, owner and creative director of Chupi, her jewellery company but she has worn many different hats. From writing a best selling cookbook in her teens to being scouted by Topshop at just 21 where she worked for 13 years, Chupi has always been creatively restless and brave. Her life sounds like a dream, right? But we all know it takes a long time to become an overnight success which Chupi talks about. She was incredibly busy when we met so I am very grateful she took time out of her day to talk to me, I mean, IT'S CHRISTMAS ESTHER! NO TIME FOR PODCASTS LADY! Thankfully she obliged me and I hope you enjoy it.Don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast if you enjoyed it and leave us a review on iTunes if you can (this is only possible via your desktop or laptop I think). Ta-ra for now!

LIFE IS BUT A DREAM, LIKE THIS EPISODE & EAST 17. (IT'S EPISODE 17).Ellen Kavanagh Jones and I have a lot in common being that we are both CEOs. I am CEO of The 80% podcast empire (net worth: zero euro) and Ellen is CEO, and creator, of award-winning wax brand and salon Waxperts. Hmmmm. So much in common...eh...Ellen is incredibly successful but it hasn’t always been easy which she talked candidly to me about. She started her business in 2008 at the start of the recession (a great time to start a business) and in under ten years Ellen, along with her best friend and business partner Trish, have built their company into a solid gold brand. Ellen and Trish were a dream and they even gave me a Waxperts advent calendar as I left. I had hoped there would be a tiny amount of wax behind each door and I could have gathered them all, heated them up on Christmas Eve and given myself a festive leg wax. Unfortunately, there’s just plain old chocolate inside them; they missed a trick there. Hey, there's always next year. P.S Don't forget to share the link or give it a like on iTunes or Soundcloud if you..like it! If you didn't like it, then just pretend it never happened and carry on with your life in peace and love, peace and love.

PEACHES AND CREAM: EPISODE SWEET 16!Episode sweet sixteen, and never been kissed...This week my scrumtrulecent wonder guest was Ellie Balfe. Former make up artist, turned business owner, turned blogger, writer, editor and the very foncy sounding Digital Director of Image Magazine, Ellie has been there, done that and brought out the branded make-up brushes. Did she wear a hat and cape as Digital Director? Sadly, I never thought to ask in the moment but let's imagine she did. Ellie talked openly and honestly to me about her career and about how life sometimes bursts into the party and sh*ts in the trifle. What can you do but get on with it mates (and bin the trifle; don't try and eat around it). P.S Please share the link or give it a like if you..like it! If you didn't like it, then just pretend it never happened and carry on with your life in peace and love, peace and love.

EPISODE 14 AND NEVER BEEN KISSED!Jill & Gill are illustrator Jill Deering and printmaker Gillian Henderson, artists and a daring design duo who have done projects and commissions for James Vincent McMorrow, Currabinny and the Repeal project to name but a few.
