I am so blessed to have this gorgeous chat with Jack, about sport, Dancing with the Stars, mental health and finding love.

We look at his taekwondo journey, the Olympics and how it affected him outside of sport.

he told me why Dancing with the Stars was one of the best things he did, and how it made him new friendships.

There's so much in this episode, and thanks to VHI who set up the chat, as he is an ambassador for their Health and Wellbeing Fund.

My first ever cricketer and it is the Irish women's captain, Gaby Lewis.

Hear how she got into the game, what the cricketing world is like in Ireland, how beating England boosted their profile and so much more.

As the spotlight on female sports continues to shine, and our Irish females especially, let's give this chat a push and maybe a future cricketer will hear it!

Back again with a chat with Limerick author Karen, to talk about going back to college when you get older, not giving up, working as a mam and why it took years to get her first book published.

If you know someone writing a book, this may be the chat they need to keep going!

Karen's new book Never Look Back is out NOW!!!

The refffferreeee's a legend!

You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today!

David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA.

And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum.

Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4 with David at the helm, called Misneach: Bród sa Spórt, which looks at our sports and if they are a safe place for gay players.

You can watch it back on the TG4 player.

In this chat we discuss everything from doorknocking for permission to get married, to why it's harder to ref a small club game than a full house at Croker.

I hope you enjoy.

Sorry for the delay between episodes but I am so excited to bring you this chat with Ali!

As many of you might know, she recently discovered she had breast cancer and has gone through treatment, with her husband, family, neighbours and loved ones providing endless love and support.

In this chat, we discuss her cancer journey, how she found out she had it just weeks after moving to Ireland, and how the people she least expected turned up for her.

We also talk TV, being a star in the era of the lads mags and the naughties, that teacher-student affair storyline and why we are both aiming for the small wins from now on.

Ali is the loveliest guest you could hope for, so open, honest and goddamn hilarious!

I hope you enjoy. If you are worried about yourself and anything we discussed, please seek medical help. The Irish Cancer Society have loads of info on cancer.ie, in the UK, try breastcanceruk.org or the helpline closest to you.

And as always, please share with friends and family, leave me a comment on Spotify, rate and review and be kind.

Thanks X

This is truly a brilliant episode.

Cormac, who you may know from Love Island, or from his fitness journey on Instagram, opens up about his addictions and how they nearly killed him.

He talks about how he faked being well to go on Love Island and why he thinks now he shouldn't have been there.

He opens up about his relapses and what it took to get to seek help.

Truly inspiring, and also hopeful, to show there is help out there and light at the end of the tunnel.

My guest today is an Irish and a Northern Irish legend!

If you grew up with UTV, there was only one man to introduce the shows, and that was Julian!

He cracked us up with his intros but did you know he was working two jobs at the time?

He also talks the Troubles, living in London and why he never wants to live again outside Ireland.

Please listen, share and rate!!

Thank YOU

I am SO EXCITED for you all to hear this episode!

I was so grateful to get to chat to Shona about her life and career. We talked all things Eastenders- from the storylines, the love interests and the legends that graced the Square.

We also talked about how she got into acting, starting her career as a teen, and leaving to do live theatre, and why hearing Jaysus Christ in an Irish audience made her feel she was doing something right!

And we also talk about how a DM slide can sometimes be a good thing, and lead to love...
