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.

Episode 215: What Trump Speaks too?
I use two quotes form Toni Morrison's Beloved;“That anybody white could take your whole self for anything that came to mind. Not just work, kill, or maim you, but dirty you. Dirty you so bad you couldn’t like yourself anymore. Dirty you so bad you forgot who you were and couldn’t think it up.!"“His first earned purchase made him glow, never mind the turnips were withered dry. That was when he decided that to eat, walk and sleep anywhere was life as good as it got.”

My 100th Podcast recorded since lockdown - A very personal podcast about my writing mind spaces and how they have developed since I first started writing.
