Intro by Chris Collins - Indie music box.

This week, it’s just me!

I’m sharing a little update on what’s been happening at Women Being Well, what I’ve been creating behind the scenes, and what’s coming next.

As a thank you for being here and listening to the podcast, I’ve also included one of my tapping meditations, Taming Overthinking, in this episode. If you’re managing stress right now, finding it hard to switch off, or you’re simply curious about trying tapping with me, I hope it gives you a little space to slow down and reset.

I’ll also be sharing more about my new Tapping Club, which will be opening this September, along with some of the other things I’m creating for Women Being Well.

If you’d like to be the first to hear when the Tapping Club opens, pop your details below and I’ll make sure you don’t miss anything.

In today's episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Diane Brennan,

Diane is a nutritionist, personal trainer, and owner of Chapter U Coaching based in Airside, Swords.

Diane's story is one so many of us will relate to. She spent 17 years in a sedentary insurance job, developed chronic shoulder pain that was absolutely debilitating, and eventually discovered the life-changing power of strength training and mobility work, which not only got her pain free but completely transformed her life and career.

Now, Diane runs her own private, appointment-only studio, a calm, sensory friendly space with no mirrors, no phones, and absolutely no egos, designed specifically so women can show up, feel safe, and just be.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Exercise in midlife — why "something is always better than nothing" and why the all-or-nothing mindset is holding so many of us back
• The pressure women feel to run 5Ks, do HIIT, and keep up with everyone on Instagram.. and why you absolutely don't have to
• Stress and pain — the deeply connected relationship between the two, and how managing stress has to come first
• Starting slow and building confidence — how Diane works with women in their 40s who have never trained before
• The "all or something" approach — one session a week still counts.

Whether you're returning to exercise after years away, struggling with consistency, or just feeling overwhelmed by the fitness world, this episode is for you. 💛

In this episode, I'm joined by dietitian and nutrition expert Sarah Keogh for a conversation that every woman in midlife needs to hear.

Sarah is one of Ireland's leading dietitians, and I've learned so much from her over the years, so I'm delighted to bring her wisdom and expertise to the podcast.

Together, we talk about some of the biggest nutrition questions women have in midlife, including protein, supplements, weight changes during perimenopause, and why so many of us feel exhausted much of the time.

Sarah's approach is always practical, encouraging, and grounded in decades of experience. I truly encourage you to follow her and learn from her work you'll come away feeling informed, empowered, and reassured.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Yasmin through a mutual friend, and I’m so glad our paths crossed.

Yasmin is the founder of the award-winning RedaCare, an exciting new Irish platform created to support holistic practitioners in sharing their work with the world.

In this conversation, she shares the story behind the business, and the deeper vision driving it , a real desire to shift and elevate how health and wellbeing are supported within the holistic space.

Her journey is rooted in both passion and purpose, and I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

This week I had a beautiful conversation with Sarah Possié, author, midwife, and founder of a newly opened women’s health clinic in Swords Co. Dublin.

We talk about her years working as a midwife, the personal shifts that led her to step away from an old identity, and the journey toward creating a space that supports women in a different and deeply meaningful way.

This conversation is really about transformation about trusting yourself enough to let go of who you once were in order to become who you’re meant to be.

Sarah shares how, after asking for guidance and clarity, an unexpected opportunity appeared that ultimately led her to the work she’s doing today.

It’s an honest, grounding, and inspiring conversation about women’s health, intuition, reinvention, and beginning again.

Vicky Shilling returns to the podcast to tell me what she's been up to since we last spoke in June 2024.

Like most of us in the entrepreneurial world things have changed a lot for Vicky, she shares the highs and lows of the last two years and how she is now helping her clients with the very thing that often sabotages the business of a solo entrepreneur..... confidence and self trust.

We discuss why this sense of self doubt shows up at a time in our lives when we "should" have more confidence and how we can unlearn the things that keep us stuck, by creating new mindset shifts and a confidence that is self led.

Enjoy the conversation.

I met Karen Mc Carthy back in 2020 when we were all online and trying to figure out the world. She's one of THE nicest people I've met and I admire her greatly.
Karen shares her story of change, knowing that her then career was not what she wanted for her life.
Karen took the brave step of packing up her life and moving to France to figure out what working in a new way would look like.
Not only has she created a new life path, Karen has a very successful business and created all this change while dealing with grief and loss along the way.

Season 4 kicks off with a powerful and honest conversation with Aisling Burke.

After taking a break from the podcast, this felt like exactly the kind of episode to come back with . Real, relatable, and quietly transformative.

Aisling shares the deeply personal decision she made this year to remove alcohol from her life, after noticing just how much it was impacting her energy, sleep, and overall wellbeing.

If you’ve ever felt like your relationship with alcohol has shifted in midlife, where one drink can mean a restless night or losing the next day entirely , this conversation will resonate.

With complete honesty, Aisling opens up about what led her to make this change, and the surprising, positive ripple effect it’s had across her life.

Thank you so much Aisling for joining me, I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.
