The Good Glow

This week I speak to Shirley Gleeson. 2020 has been a year of change and transition and as we ease ourselves back out in to the world I think it's important for us to acknowledge all we have been through over the last couple of months. I think lots of us have been awakened too. Awakened to how simple life can be, the beauty of the world around us and just how much we love our friends and family. Today I speak to Shirely, a Nature and Wellbeing Consultant, who explains the benefits of nature and how it can heal us and give us clarity, relieve stress and give us inner peace. We speak about how we can protect ourselves and our families through this time, how we can understand stress better and how we can take positive steps to be happier.

This week I talk to Terrie McEvoy Fitzpatrick. Terrie returns to the podcast to talk about going back to nursing during the Covid 19 pandemic. Terrie wanted to help in anyway she could, so when she got a call from a friend to say they needed more nurses, she didn't hesitate. Terrie praises all front line workers who have kept us all safe and enabled us to stay home over the last couple of months. 

Today I speak to Erica Cody. Erica is a singer and songwriter and over the last couple of weeks has been educating us all on racism in Ireland. I have learned so much over the last couple of weeks and I'm so grateful to Erica for everything she has taught me and for opening up about such a sensitive subject. 

This week Georgie speaks to Laura Nolan Horgan. Laura was 32 when she found out she was BRCA 1 positive, often referred to as the Angelina Jolie gene, meaning she had a higher risk of developing ovarian or breast cancer. Laura was expecting her third child and she decided to have a hysterectomy 6 weeks after the birth of her little boy and a double mastectomy in the months afterwards. Laura speaks about menopause in her 30s, the amazing support network she had around her and how after everything she's been through she still feels like herself but an even better version. 

This week Georgie speaks to Trisha's Transformation. Trisha Lewis says she hit rock bottom in 2017. With the encouragement of her family she decided she wanted to get fit and find her happiness again. Over the last couple of years she has lost 8 stone but most importantly radiates happiness and positivity and is loving every minute of life.  This podcast is sponsored by Sally Hansen.

On this episode my husband Jamie speaks about his MS diagnosis in 2012 and why he's decided to share his story after 8 years. 

This week Georgie speaks to Louise Cooney. Louise is one of Ireland's top bloggers and made the big move to New York in 2019, to start a new phase of her life. She speaks to Georgie about living and working in the city and why she made the decision to come home when Covid 19 started to really impact the US. Louise has since raised 90 thousand euro for Pieta House after losing a family member to suicide. She has always been open and honest and says she wants to use her platform further to encourage people to talk about mental health. 

This week, Georgie speaks to Laura Whitmore. Laura's career has gone from strength to strength since she moved to London, working on some of the UK's biggest shows like MTV News, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now and Love Island. Laura tells Georgie about her life during lockdown, how she's finally gotten to know her neighbours and how she isn't afraid to speak from the heart.

Georgie's first ever live show with special guests Claire Solan and Miriam Hussey.  To this day, Georgie still get messages about her podcast with Claire, which was recorded in season 1 and felt they had so much more to talk about. The same can be said for her podcast with Miriam, with people telling Georgie they listened to it over and over again because Miriam's advice and knowledge was so helpful. It opened people up to learning how to love themselves, deal with stress and practice self care. This live show was brought to the Stella Theatre in partnership with Fitbit. 

Georgie reflects on the events of the past week and also answers some listener questions. It's an emotional one on Mother's Day 2020. A very different Mother's Day to what we were expecting this year. Hoping everyone is staying safe and well. Lots of love.
