My guest this episode is actor Victoria Smurfit. I read Victoria a new poem 'Willow' and we chat about the gradual redundancy of parenting,  the support of friends and allowing your children to see you struggle.  Victoria spoke with frankness, love and longing about her mum, who she recently lost, and she explained how she 'takes one thing off' everyday. I loved chatting to Victoria, she's a straight talker and she's inspired me with a killer opening line for a new poem! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of Everybody Is A Poem I chat to the incredibly talented actor Hilda Fay. Hilda told me about her career which spans 28 years; the highs, the covid 19 lows and thankfully a return to the stage and screen.  We talk about dealing with rejection, I read 'No Response Is A Response' and she MAY have inspired me to have a sea dip (not a swim!) Hilda truly loves what she does, she explained to me how she immerses herself in her roles, and how sometime, she can't help but carry the weight or the joy, of the women she plays into her day-to-day life. And we both agreed, that sometimes you just have to get up, get dressed up, and get out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode I meet Martina Keegan, a real-life Liberty belle.  When I think of her, I think of dancing, the warm light of a nightclub, deadly Nike airs , friendship and fun.  I absolutely loved talking to Martina, she is bright, open, a straight talker and she is hopeful.   I discovered that, just like me, she has found solace in writing, and putting her feelings down on paper in the form of poems.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Celebrity hair stylist Andrew Fitzsimons spoke to me from LA about his personal and professional growth. He told me about his journey from Dublin to LA, his commitment to learning his craft (we even discovered that I styled his very first photo shoot) and how he’d rather be home listening to Luther Vandross and Anita Baker than partying in LA. He also spoke about the importance of therapy to him, and his favourite Irish swear word!  New episode of Everybody Is A Poem every fortnight.

Everybody has that one special person in their life, that person that no matter what is always there. They could be younger than you, from a different place than you, they could be at a different stage in life, but they are always your go too in good times and bad times. Grace Moore is that person for me. She took time out of her busy days to sit down and share memories of starting off as a fashion stylist (grace first crossed my path when she was in transition in school) and talk about how these days even though amid the chaos of 4 kids under 7, she has found a sense of peace in parenting.  New episode of Everybody Is A Poem every fortnight.
