Not a Single Bother

On this week’s episode I am talking about imposter syndrome. Seeing as 100% of you voted that you also feel the same (except my mom), I discuss my experience and my other thinking mind, the reasons why we feel this way and how we can prevent it. Despite all of our degrees, achievements and successes we all weirdly feel like frauds but at least we can all feel the comfort in knowing that you’re not...

If you have ever felt shit about yourself then this ones for you. I’m back with two of my lovely friends Erin and Rachel to chat about body issues, putting ourselves down and the obsession we all have to look ‘perfect’. We delve into the effects of social media, society and, more importantly, our own minds on how we see ourselves. We also get honest about our own struggles with what we see in the...

On this week’s episode I am so excited to be chatting with famous Irish designer, Colin Horgan. Colin is from a small village in Kerry called Ardfert and went from drawing video game characters as a teenager to now designing pieces for the likes of Lady Gaga, Little Mix and Dua Lipa to name a few. We spoke about the fashion industry as a whole and if it really is as catty and cut throat as we have...

Part 2 of Ciara's story of the tragic loss of her partner David who sadly drowned in an accident while they were living in Vancouver.

Since the accident, Ciara has written her own book called ‘Miracles Appear When Loved Ones Are Near’ and she speaks...

I'm back from a little break to mend my back (excuse the pun). I can finally stand up straight again and I'm just giving you a little life update about my slight surgery complications and me crying on national TV. Thank you so much to everyone that sent me such lovely messages about my little chat on Prime Time. I hope the borders open for all of your sakes too! I hope you enjoy the episode. Thank...

On this weeks episode, Ellis and I are back to chat about our working lives in steel toe cap boots, the high vis shirts and hard hats. A job that I never thought I would see myself doing but here I am two years on with a whole lot of stories to tell both good and bad!  Most girls in Sydney will probably find themselves with a stop/slow bat in their hands at some stage over here or at least ha...

On this weeks episode, as you can tell from the title I am joined by my lovely wee Scottish pal, Ellis, to chat all things Love Island. Whether you love it or hate it you have to admit it is slightly addictive. Scrambled heads, fried eggs, liars, cheaters, over dramatic, playing games, fakeness and who we love the most are just some of the things we discuss in the episode. You also get a lovely tr...

On this week's episode I was blessed to be in the (virtual) presence of the hilarious Pamela Joyce from one of Ireland’s national radio stations, Today Fm. Pamela is the original Irish Mammy skit woman and it was those videos that, and not without a lot of behind the scenes graft, propelled her to where she is today with her very own evening show on Today FM. We chat about how her blogger skit vid...

Life wasn’t always so...

It's absolutely no surprise to anyone that Australian borders have been closed since Covid took off well over a year ago now. The last few weeks in particular have been very hard for every expat here because it seems the likelihood and hope we had towards borders opening any time soon have been dashed. More and more stories of families that have been separated through deaths, illnesses and every s...

On this week's episode I am chatting with North Kerry legend, Adrian Allen. From starting off as an electrician back in Lixnaw, working in the mines in Australia and barely hitting the arse of the punching bag in Muay Thai, he tells me about the journey that has led him to where he is now both mentally and physically. This isn't just a podcast about health and fitness but more of a story of gettin...

On this episode of the podcast I chat with two friends, Mark and Barry, about their experiences with growing up gay in Ireland. In a country that considered homosexuality to be a crime until 1993, just one year before they were born, it’s no surprise that they faced different difficulties when growing up and coming to terms with their sexuality. Catholicism and rural Ireland are two of the factors...

On this week's episode I am so buzzing to have a very special guest on with me, the lovely Lynsey Bennett. Lynsey is one of many women in Ireland who has been affected by the consistent wrongful reading of her smear test results and is now battling terminal, invasive cervical cancer. She is only 32 years of age and a mother to two gorgeous girls. Lynsey is beyond inspirational, even though she can...

On this weeks episode, I chat with two lovely Irish lads, John and Daniel, who are the faces behind Atak Sports AU. They decided to take the plunge and start a business here in Australia after 2 years of talking about it. Little did they know (nor did anyone) that a global pandemic would strike just four days after the business launched so they discuss how that has affected them and their business...

One of my favorite episodes to date if I do say so myself. I chat with my dad, Declan Dowling, about his life as a child, growing up on the farm, with greyhounds and being put out in the shed for the summer months.  He gives out plenty of wisdom and cute stories as well as talking about his 35 years of marriage to my mom and how they managed to raise a baby, get married at 19/21 all while wor...

Her aim is to bring Irish expats together over here and help tackle...

On this weeks episode I make a stab at my favorite style of podcasting - discussing people's juicy dilemmas. I sift through the internet and find some intersting and quite worrying issues and attempt to give my own personal advice and have a laugh at their expence. My advice could be shite and is most definetly not professional or anything close to that but it was definitely a bit of craic! ...

On this weeks episode I am so excited to finally have my first ever interview (outside of my friends) on the podcast. I'm joined by Jenn, an Irish woman from Cork, who has been working as a stripper for years all over the world. Jenn is currently living and working in Perth and with sex work being so topical now more than ever, I thought what better time to find out everything I've ever wanted to...

On this weeks episode I'm talking about all the things that people don't tell you about when moving to Australia. The ups, the downs, everything in between and the random things that we do that you wouldn't dream of doing at home. It may all look like sunshine and craic through the phone but it isn't all easy! Hopefully you get a little bit of an insight into the place I've called home for almost...
