Music and motherhood, and the constant juggle, with Lisa McHugh
Saison 15 · Épisode 8
mardi 14 janvier 2025 • Durée 46:41
Joining me for this week's episode is Lisa McHugh, an award-winning singer-songwriter and one of the brightest stars in Irish country music. Beyond her music, she’s also an entrepreneur, a proud mam of two, and a voice of positivity and empowerment for women. Her two children, Milo who is two and Hallie who is just five months, are the centre of her world, but her parenting path has thrown up some real challenges for Lisa. After Hallie was born, Lisa spent ten days in hospital with her brand new daughter in the NICU, where she couldn't see Milo and couldn't cuddle her newborn as she was hooked up to a CPAP machine. Hallie's health had another challenge just recently too, and another stint in hospital was required. But through it all, Lisa remains positive, while also being honest about how hard is has been for her and her family. With her own parents in Glasgow, where Lisa was born, she says that having a break or some downtime isn't something she can remember having in recent memory. All of this, and a full-on career as a musician means that Lisa is my new inspiration! I hope you enjoy listening this week, and I'll be back with more next week.
Letting your 'old self' go after becoming a parent, with Anna Geary
Saison 15 · Épisode 7
mercredi 11 décembre 2024 • Durée 58:33
My guest this week is the incredible Anna Geary, broadcaster, author and former All Ireland medal-winning camogie player. Anna is a national treasure, a wellness advocate and an inspiration to to others, and she's also a mum of one – her little boy Ronan is 16 months old and as Anna says, changed her life for the better. This episode was the definition of sitting with a cup of tea with your mam friend and just having the chats. We talked about the pressure to 'perform' for want of a better term, when it comes to parenting, we talk about comparison online and how detrimental it can be, while also being a valuable resource, and how those few minutes a day you can take for yourself are critical when it comes to being a better parent. Anna and I have a lot in common, we discovered, when it comes to our love of lists, our love of structure and our sanity hingeing on whether our child is sleeping well – and we have both found, to our dismay, that children don't come with a rulebook, and the certainly don't give two hoots about your best laid plans. It was so great to hear someone as successful and lovely as Anna say that actually, we're all just winging it. Enjoy this episode, and I'll be back soon with more.
Losing a child, and the grief process five years on with Eileen Loughlin
Saison 14 · Épisode 8
mardi 27 août 2024 • Durée 52:55
Before I start this week's guest intro, I just want to flag that this episode is a very emotional one and might not be a comfortable listen for anyone in the early stages of grief, as it deals with the loss of a child.
My amazing and brave guest for this episode is Eileen Loughlin. Eileen is a mother of four gorgeous children, from ages 20 all the way to just two years old. Five and a half years ago, Eileen and her family's life was turned upside down when a tragic accident at their home led to the death of their youngest child at the time Annabel, who was just 3 and a half when she passed away. Eileen talks to me today about Annabel's short but happy life, her grieving process, the support that has seen her through and her hopes for her three living children as they move through their lives. She also tells me that there are plans in motion for a way to remember Annabel and build a legacy through which she can live on in memory. A gut-wrenching listen for me as the mother of a child the same age as Annabel, but for anyone experiencing loss, this could be a really helpful and hopeful episode. I'll be back next week with more.

How many of you asked yourself if your work was right for you after you had a baby?
In this last episode of season 5 our host, Sinead O'Moore is joined by Suzie O’Neill because she asked herself that question and the answer was no.
What she was doing didnt make sense anymore and she needed control over her hours and passion to make time away from children worthwhile.
And now AYU which means very feminine beautiful, her luxurious but affordable irish make up brand is nearly 10 years old, its selling internationally and through Suzie’s it is a growing team with a culture that celebrates women and supports parents.

How there were days she felt like it could all come crumbling down.
How much her partner has evolved his own work/home balance.
And how ultimately, if you need to make a career change, just go for it!
Believe in yourself. You can do it.

And how her 2nd baby Luna May was in NICU for 2 weeks where she was supported by the incredible teams that care for our tiny heroes.

Raising Brave: Hair loss and Online Hate - Claire Balding
Saison 5 · Épisode 8
samedi 17 juillet 2021 • Durée 01:04:28
Whether it’s in the classroom or the football pitch, we tell our children to be kind.
Not to bully.
We also tell them to do what we do.
To see us as their role models.
And yet. As we’ve seen after football games, or in workplaces, or… online anonymously in groups and gossip sites, adults, women, mothers are sharing hate.
In this episode Sinead talks to Claire Balding best known for sharing her experience of hair loss and creating Trua a clinic supporting hair regrowth, to talk about her experience of online hate, boundaries being crossed and strangers making her feel afraid.
How when she checks their profile they are often mothers themselves and how it was in fact this weight of keeping up with motherhood, the not being able to admit to needing a break, or asking for help or showing the world that it was even a little bit hard which contributed to her alopecia and hair loss in the first place. I understand this fear of being judged or shamed or cancelled or thought of as less.
But I know we are raising brave.
So we need to do better because hashtag bekind is not enough.
If not for each other, but because our kids are watching our every step.

Saison 5 · Épisode 7
samedi 10 juillet 2021 • Durée 01:16:27
At the beginning of this season Sinead spoke to Orla McConnon, who at the time was just a couple of weeks away from the birth of her first baby - it was an episode all about anticipation, excitement & expectation for what was around the corner.
Orla is back to take us through the reality of the labour, the birth and the first six weeks of motherhood.
We talk about stitches, boobs, pumps and pain, the unexpected moments and unexpected feelings.
We talk about the joy but also the sadness in realising that nothing will ever be the same again.
And we talk about the type of things that every mum should feel safe to talk about… that you can love your baby and the magic and the joy and still find it hard.

Healing from Birth Trauma - Dominique McMullan
Saison 5 · Épisode 6
samedi 3 juillet 2021 • Durée 01:08:12
In this episode, Editorial Director of Image.ie Dominique McMullan joins Sinead to talk openly about the birth of her first baby Kai.
Her beloved bump was about to be born but her baby’s position led to complications, pain, an instrumental birth, alarms going off and rooms flooded with people.
It was traumatic. *Trigger Warning*
It impacted her wellbeing.
It impacted her mental health.
It is a lived experience.
But Dominique like many, suppressed and tried to behave as though she was a new mum who had it all under control.
Until a pandemic, covid, a miscarriage and the chance to see her sister for the first time in a long time and it all came to the surface.
Now due her second baby in only a few weeks, Dominique explains how this experience of trauma affected her, how she found help and how she is healing herself and her courage in preparation for the arrival of baby no2 later this summer.
