More Information DrNaoiseOReilly dot org. A podcast that ranges from Teen to Adult. Originally I have a Doctorate in philosophy (Psychical Oceanography). I’ve spent my whole adult life supporting Students in one form or another. I always feel they are right and this podcast aims to get under the bonnet of what is really at the root of our society challenges. How to be authentic and vulnerable in practice not just in name. How to critically reflect on big topics. Always with a suggested reading list. I do the research and join the dots in my Sigma INFJ mode so you don’t need to do all the work. Presented in Bite size portions. ©Dr. Naoisé O'Reilly 2025.
