Number 1: The Comeback with Eleanor Doyle
Eleanor Doyle Is BackThe podcast is back after the summer break, and we’re returning with an episode that has quite a story behind it. Eleanor has been here before. Her original episode went live a few months ago, but shortly afterwards, it disappeared. A lot of people noticed. A lot of people asked why. In this episode, we explain what happened. For those who don’t know Eleanor, you may know her for the funny videos, positivity and big personality. But behind the humour is a story of survival. Eleanor is a mum of three who has spoken openly about domestic abuse, violence, fear and trying to protect her children while rebuilding her own life. Her story is raw and difficult at times, but ultimately it is about survival, rebuilding and finding your way back to yourself. Eleanor is back, and this time we’re telling the full story. 🎧 This episode is proudly sponsored by ADHD Now, the online clinic transforming ADHD assessment and care across Ireland.

Number 3: The Comeback with Caoimhe McGinley
This week, I’m joined by one of Ireland’s best-known content creators, Caoimhe McGinley. Many will know Caoimhe from The Big Hill House, but behind the beautiful home and social media posts is a story of heartbreak, resilience and rebuilding. In this honest conversation, Caoimhe opens up about the breakdown of her marriage, navigating such a difficult time in the public eye, raising her four children, and the devastating loss of a baby through miscarriage at almost 17 weeks pregnant. For the first time publicly, she also speaks about a defamation case that she says became one of the lowest points of her life, how it affected her personally and professionally, and why she has chosen to tell her story now. This is a conversation about heartbreak, hope and proving that, no matter what life throws at you, you can come back stronger.

Number 4: The Comeback with Eleanor Doyle
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control and violence. In this deeply emotional, Brenda sits down with Eleanor Doyle, a woman many people will recognise from her positive, funny and uplifting social media presence. But behind the smile is a story very few knew. Eleanor opens up about years of domestic abuse, coercive control, fear and survival while trying to protect her three young children. She shares the reality of living in an abusive relationship, from physical violence and threats, to believing she was “nothing” and would never cope alone. In this episode, Eleanor speaks about: • Living with domestic abuse and coercive control • Fear, court proceedings and raising children through trauma • Her nine year old son trying to protect her during violence at home • Feeling broken, isolated and unable to see a future • Rebuilding her confidence and finding strength again • Life after abuse and helping others who may be struggling This conversation is raw, heartbreaking and at times difficult to listen to, but above all, it is a story of survival, resilience and hope.

Number 5: The Comeback with Leona Macken
Leona Macken’s story will stop you in your tracks. A young mum of two, she trusted the system. She had two smear tests, in 2016 and 2020, both reported as normal. But they should not have been. That delay led to a cervical cancer diagnosis in 2023. After major surgery and intensive treatment, Leona was told in 2025 that her cancer had returned and progressed to stage four. In this episode, she speaks about the moment everything changed, the heartbreak, and the reality of living with a diagnosis that should never have happened. Now on a trial drug that is already showing signs of working, her story is one of strength, resilience, and hope. 🎧 This episode is proudly sponsored by ADHD Now, the online clinic transforming ADHD assessment and care across Ireland.
