The Good Glow

This week on The Good Glow podcast I continue my conversation with Ciara O'Malley. This is a 2 part episode. Last week Ciara spoke to me about her boyfriend David Gavin. They moved to Canada in 2017 and were settling into their new life in Vancouver. They made lots of friends and David joined a local GAA club. On the weekend of Ciara's birthday David travelled to a game and on the way the team stopped by a lake to cool down. David jumped into the lake, briefly came back up to wave to his friends before he was pulled back under and never resurfaced. Ciara rushed to the lake to help in the search for David and soon she was joined by her family and David's family. We pick up the story days after David went missing. His friends and family have gathered at the lake as they desperately search for his body. I am leaving details here for the Samaritans.

This week I’m joined by Nicola Lavin. 15 years after getting bitten by a tick on her J1 and 15 tough years of being really sick, Nicola was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Yolanda Hadid first brought my attention to this disease on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as she fought to be taken seriously. Nicola suffered for 15 years and was finally diagnosed. She underwent a stem cell procedure and her life improved drastically.This podcast is an eye opener but also really important to know what to look out for when it comes to ticks in Ireland for you and your family. I was floored by her story, her struggles but also her amazing attitude to life now. This podcast is brought to you with thanks to Vichy.

Since then, she has been on a journey of growth and today she tells me about the ups and downs of putting her life back together. Dominique is the girl next door, she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She has been through it, but has come out the other side in her own words as a ‘whole person’. She tells me that she’s found a way to make herself happy and surrounds herself with people that make her feel good. Life isn’t perfect for any of us, we will all face things we have to overcome.

I’ve been waiting a long time to have Gerry Hussey on my podcast and I really believe in timing. I think this conversation is so needed this week as we all continue on this rollercoaster of emotions. Also known as The Soul Coach, Gerry talks to me today about love, fear, anxiety. How we can change the narrative in our head, how to connect with what’s really important, how we can grow and learn, how we can win the day by changing what we do in the first 15 minutes of the morning. How we can take the leap we’ve always wanted to, how we can break the toxic addition to our phones and how we can give back to ourselves. This podcast is brought to you with thanks to Vichy.

This week I speak to Dara Quilty. This is a really important episode about asking for help. And to know that there is always help and support available, no matter what you are going through. I've never touched on the topic of having a sick parent on The Good Glow before but it's something I know so many of my listeners are going through. My good friend Dara has released an album with his band Apella called 1963 and is giving all of the sales of this album to cancer support. You can pick up a copy of Dara's album HERE.

This week I speak to Shannen Joyce. Also known as The Big C And Me, Shannen has been through so much over the past 7 years. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma when she was 19. She's 26 now and has just finished treatment for her 3rd diagnosis of cancer. Over the last couple of weeks, she thought she had relapsed for a fourth time after finding a lump. Luckily, this lump was not cancerous and she has been given the go ahead to embark on the last leg of this journey. A transplant in Dublin in the next couple of weeks. Shannen knows what she's up against, her strength and positivity is infectious. She loves her family so much, she knows the next few months will be tough but she's determined to do it. Today, she talks about why she hasn't been sharing too much over the last couple of weeks, tells me all about her support network and her plans for the future.

Liz Costigan Fleury tells me one amazing story on this week's episode. She speaks about how she felt when she was told she was having twins, why she had to move into the hospital after her waters broke at 23 weeks, how happy she was when her two little boys made it safely into the world and how crazy that journey was for her. It’s an incredible story of love, hope, the fear of the unknown, the incredible rollercoaster of becoming a mother and balancing it all in between.
