Mary is an all star ladies Kildare footballer, a mental health advocate, a gym owner and an inspiration to many women out there.

She shares her inspiring story of battling addiction and showing us that the strongest thing you can do, is ask for help.

Mary's addiction to drugs and alcohol was a coping mechanism for dealing with childhood trauma. Although she had an extremely successful sporting career, she still felt alone, and fought with suicidal thoughts. Ultimately, it was her love and devotion to her dog Bailey that saved her life.

Mary shares a few instances where another person's act of kindness was the reason she is still here today. The smallest of kind gestures, can make the greatest impact in someone's life.

On today’s episode, Katie and Annmarie are talking to Kathleen Chada about her tragic story of losing her two sons Eoghan and Ruairí. 

On July 29, 2013, Kathleen’s husband, Sanj murdered their two sons. The boys had been taken from their family home in Carlow. Kathleen waited, and searched, for almost 24 hours before her husband phoned her and told her, 'The boys are dead'.

Kathleen has written a book about her experience called ‘Everything’ which is a beautiful though painful celebration of their young lives, but it is also a powerful and rewarding story of how a mother has attempted to build her life back into one piece after the devastation of their deaths.

In Everything, Kathleen remembers the man she knew for almost 20 years. The man who was the love of her life, and whom she shared such a happy life with. Sanjeev Chada... her Sanj.

A man she now understands to be 'pure evil'. A man who had also planned to murder her several years before. And a man she believes must never be allowed free from Arbour Hill Prison in Dublin.

In today’s episode, Kathleen shares the plethora of complicated emotions that she experienced throughout her grieving process and how she is managing to rebuild her life.

Welcome to the Where Do I Go From Here? Podcast. Hosted by Annmarie Gray and Katie Richardson, two psychotherapists passionate about sharing inspiring stories to help others.

Throughout the season, they interview incredible people who have faced adversity and found their way back to rebuild their lives. They want to provide honest stories that will encourage and motivate their listeners to grow and develop. The podcast is an extension of their hearts, with kindness prevailing at the forefront.

They have made the vulnerable decision to also share their own personal stories, whilst combining this with their wealth of knowledge in the area of mental health. They will also provide you with an insight into who they are as therapists.

Where Do I Go From Here? was born from a place of loss, shared between two women, wanting to uplift and inspire each other. It is an example of how you can find beauty within pain, through opening up, and baring all, and reaching for connection.

When we allow our pain to have a voice, it guides us to our inner compass, and provides us with a sense of direction, in order to find meaning and purpose again.
