Fortunately, Daire Dempsey, Executive Director of the Transgender Equality Network of Ireland was generous enough to give me their time and fill me in on what the reality is. I knew it was bad, but it's actually worse than I thought, but there is

I think it's fair to say we talk about the internet, our usage, and the way it's impacting our lives frequently on the podcast, so when I learned of Dr. Aimee Watchorn's area of expertise, I thought a chat might be useful. She is Senior Clinical Psychologist at St. John of God's University Hospital, where she often encounters issues around the internet through her work.

Miriam O'Callaghan is iconic in the truest sense of the word, so I jumped at the chance to interview her before I had even read her book. Once I got my hands on it, though, I was even more excited for this conversation. Life, Work, Everything covers Miriam's whole life, from her family life growing up in Dublin to her life as a parent and of course her career. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but honestly, I could have talked to her all day. I hope you enjoy.To support the podcast and

I was honoured when Holly Cairns asked if I'd be up for chatting with her in her first sit down interview since she returned to Leinster House since giving birth on polling day last year. We discussed the reality of becoming a mother as a sitting TD and leader of the Social Democrats, and why she's keen to get more women and people from diverse backgrounds in to politics, as well as how she feels about the current anti-immigration discourse.
