Win Happy Podcast

Before we sat down to have a proper chat I met Joleen Cronin the founder of the Irish RedHead Convention outside at the scene of the crime in the square in Crosshaven, Co.Cork which was the epicentre for the most unusual festival which brought people from all over the globe.

She chats about the picturesque town with oodles of character and the special sense of community between all red heads and just how very special they are!

Enjoy the show!

On today's podcast I chat with coach and psychotherapist Noreen Coomey about getting from what I refer to as being in a "Happily Pissed Off" state to actually "Winning Happy" in your life.

Maybe there are stresses that you need to address and maybe these warrant some changes in your life?

We discuss anxiety, work stress, the effects of Covid on us all and why February could be the best time to make some changes.

Enjoy the show!

On today's episode I chat with Paul Born, author and Co Founder and Co CEO of the Tamarack Institute in Canada.

Paul, the child of war refugees from the Ukraine grew up as part of a very wounded Mennonite community in Canada.

Living a simple frugal life, working on a farm, joining a seminary, forming a theatre group and working with life-term prisoners all led him on a path to solving deep community challenges with the organisation he founded.

He even worked on a project to bring the children from both sides of the Northern Ireland divide together!

I think my podcast with singer / songwriter Jen Hajj is the perfect way to close off the very strange year that was 2021.

Jen lives in a beautiful small town in the San Jacinto mountains in California, called Idyllwild, and you can hear it's influence in her music.

In true Win Happy fashion Jen has taken a while to follow her passion with a path that included choir singing, a jazz band, Zookeeping, looking after birds of prey and a life changing songwriters retreat in Ireland.

Jen says there are lots of paths to happiness - I think she is right...

Happy New Year!

On the podcast I chat with Dr. Gerry Waldron, Assistant Director of Public Health in Northern Ireland on literally his last working day before he retires.

Instead of being a nice, soft, gentle end to his career the last two years have been chaotic for him and his team as they played a pivotal role in managing the pandemic in the north.

We chatted about his career, moving to the north at the height of the troubles, coping with a huge personal bump in the road and of course, Covid and where it is all going.

Ironically the man who grew up in a pub and hating every minute of it is now the biggest owner of pubs (Cork Heritage Pubs) as well as a micro brewery in Cork city.

Benny McCabe loves pubs and pub life, he loves the atmosphere and the patrons, the special sense of community, the history and the unique role they play in our lives.

He talks about attention to detail, being a custodian of special places, the "symphony" of a great night in a pub, the effect of Covid on the industry and "The Miracle of Cork".

On this episode I chat with super talented and super nice, singer/songwriter Grainne Hunt.

Her unusual story is that she put her obvious talent to one side for many years and settled into a "normal life" and then realised that she was cheating herself.

We chatted about her music, the business of being a self employed musician, creativity during lockdown and the many collaborations and other projects she is involved in.
