On this week's podcast episode, I explore the meaning of 'freedom'. What is the difference between individual freedom VS collective freedom? Are people more likely to fight for freedom when something has been taken from them? Is freedom something we have to fight for or is it all about letting go? Is it about chasing dreams or is it about detaching?

On today's episode I chat about the 'shadow self'. Many of us shame the unwanted parts of ourselves into the shadows. I discuss an activity I did at a workshop recently to explore and have fun with these neglected parts of who we are. Many of us are oblivious to our 'shadows', but once you become aware of them, you can start healing them through love, compassion and acceptance. Listen for more!

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, your efforts are never 'enough'? Do you struggle to take credit or accept help? Then you might be familiar with the feeling of 'imposter syndrome'.

Today I chat about some of the harmful impacts of putting people on pedestals and how we can navigate this tendency. I have been becoming more aware recently of my own tendency to put particular people on pedestals and exploring where this emerged from. Here's a breakdown of some topics covered:
Romanticizing partners Glorifying celebrities and politicians Putting high expectations on ourselves Separating who people are from what they do Figuring out what you value in people and in yourself Societal influence of how we view the worldIf you enjoyed today's episode, you can support the show through buying a cup of coffee here.

On this week's episode, I'm chatting with Orla Bredin. Orla is a cofounder of @anamyogaandmeditation. She is passionate about traveling and trying new things but also values where she comes from and the Irish culture. We chat about her love of being in nature and how healing this can be. Something else we kept coming back to was the power of the story we tell ourselves and how important it is to push past our limiting beliefs and just take the first step. I had the joy of going to school with Orla so we were like giddy teenagers again throughout this episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

In today's episode, we are talking about love. Not just romantic love, but how you can let yourself feel more love in your everyday life. Last weekend was super sunny and I find the Irish are great at soaking in the good weather when it's here - the shift in mood is very obvious and understandable! But I also discuss ways we can find more sunshine in our life without just relying on the weather. I also talk about birthdays (considering mine has just passed), my experience at the 'Where Is My Mind' live podcast, & the power of letting go.

In this episode, I share some challenges that have come up while adjusting back home to Ireland after living abroad and how I have faced them. I also chat about the pressure to be constantly living it up in this fast-paced yolo world & why it's okay to feel this and not follow what everyone else is doing. We may feel a need to be doing more with our lives than what we already are, but sometimes just being here is enough.

In this episode, I talk about crying.
Ever wonder why one friend cries easily and will openly share their problems, then another friend will never tell you what they are feeling let alone show it?
There's a bit of a social shame and awkwardness attached to crying, especially in situations that feel 'unsafe' like social gatherings. I chat about the benefits of crying, alongside how each of our individual upbringings can shape how comfortable this feels. I also delve into how discouraging men from crying can lead to internal struggles.

In this episode, I delve into what being a 'teacher' means: the textbook definition of a teacher VS my definition of a teacher. The expectations placed on teachers in classrooms to be a superhuman parent and how there is always more than one teacher in every child's life.
