Alison & Derek’s Eggcellent Adventure: An IVF Journey
Today from 1pm Episode 8, Seasons 3 of @ White Noise will be live across all podcast platforms.
For todays episode I sit down with the very lovely & very courageous Alison McParland.
Myself & Alison have known each other quite along time as my Nanny Lily & her Mother Ann were very good friends.
Alison opens up to me about her difficulty conceiving & the journey she went on through IVF.
Having children is a basic human desire & most couples build their lives together, around the idea of nurturing children who will follow in their footsteps.
To not to be able to have a child is a confronting issue & going through IVF can be a difficult & lonely road with several unknowns.
Alison talks to me about that road she went on & why she has always been a firm believer in what’s for you, will not go past you!
What a really lovely chat, there were plenty of laughs & a few tears.
It’s such an Irish trait to try make light out of what sometimes can be a very difficult & tough time in one’s life.
For anyone listening in, Please know your not alone. There is many people out there in the exact same boat as you.
I think we all need a little reminder to always remain kind & respectful to everyone you cross paths with. You never know what the person beside you is going through.
Alison, thank you so much for coming on the podcast & being so open & honest with me. It’s not an easy thing to talk about on such a public platform but you did it so beautifully.
I’ll see ye soon for that pint!
Take care & god bless xxx

John Paul tragically lost his wife Susan, 35, to cancer in November 2021, just four weeks after she collapsed at home with severe abdominal pain that doctors first believed was appendicitis.

John Paul talks to me today about his beautiful wife Susan, their two incredible children & how he is determined to raise awareness about the occurrence of bowel cancer in young people by setting up the Susan Ricken foundation in memory of his late wife.
JP it was a pleasure speaking with you, your a phenomenal Father & a true gentleman. Susan will be guiding you all the way, I’ve no fear of that.
