Tis Yourself

I'm back!! Sorry for the delay but what a guest!

Richie Sadlier is here to talk football, mental health and so much more.

A former Irish and Millwall player, his career ended after injuries when he was just 24 and he was left stuck. After therapy helped him, he decided to pass it on and is now a trained psychotherapist, working with young people in Ireland.

Could I BE more excited to bring you today’s guest? Tate Donovan joins me for a brilliant chat about The OC, Friends, Matthew Perry, and so much more!

We talk about his time as Jimmy Cooper on The OC, playing Joshua on Friends, his early Space Camp days, and the power of storytelling in Damages. Tate also reveals the real breakthrough storyline from The OC, how meeting Cillian Murphy cost him a job, and what made working with Matthew Perry so special.

And of course, there’s plenty about Ireland too — from filming memories to his deep affection for the country.

My last podcast of 2023 is an AMAZING one!

The charming and lovely Bobby Burke called in, from NYC to Dublin to talk building patios, being Bart Bass and Ed Tucker in Gossip Girl and SVU, fighting fires, the charm of a Galway kitchen and so much more.

It is an honour for me to take up so much of his time for a chat, to hear about how Mariska Hargitay made him her onscreen lover in Law and Order, how 9/11 gave him a second job in honour of his friend and why he has never seen Dublin!

I hope you all enjoy, if you do, please rate, share, like, and tell your pals!!

Happy Christmas, Nollaig Shona Duit and I love you all!

In this episode of Tis Yourself, I sit down with dual-code Galway GAA star Alan Kerins to discuss his legendary sporting career and his transformative humanitarian work in Africa.

From winning an All-Ireland football medal to the physical and mental toll of playing both inter-county hurling and football simultaneously, Alan shares the highs and lows of life on the pitch. Beyond the stadium, Alan reveals the deeply personal inspiration behind the Alan Kerins Project and the Plant the Planet Games, an initiative that has seen over 50 GAA stars travel to Kenya to plant one million trees and support local livelihoods.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• The Dual-Player Challenge: Alan discusses the immense pressure and "mentally draining" reality of playing both senior hurling and football for Galway.
• The Power of the GAA: How the GAA provides an "informal social support network" and a vital sense of identity and belonging.
• From Physiotherapy to Philanthropy: The "trigger" moments—from childhood memories of Live Aid to a life-changing encounter in a hospital ward—that led Alan to Zambia and beyond.
• Plant the Planet Games: The story behind the historic 2022 and 2023 trips where 50+ inter-county players, including stars like Dan Morrissey and Jane Adams, traded boots for shovels to combat climate change and poverty.
• Building Resilient Children: Alan’s guiding philosophy: "It’s far easier to build strong children than to fix broken adults."

Whether you're a GAA fanatic interested in the grit of inter-county sports or looking for an inspiring story of how one person can ignite global change, this conversation is a must-listen. Donate to Alan's cause here: https://selfhelpafrica.org/ie/plant-the-planet-games/
