Insight, sensitive and often very funny!

Genius! 👏 A must~listen for all Irish women everywhere

This podcast warms the heart and nurtures the soul….it’s therapy delivered in the most gentle, engaging and unassuming way. Relaying real life experiences and stories from the perspective of the storyteller themselves gives great insight into many a taboo subject from menopause to the corruption of the Catholic Church. Love this podcast! 👏👏🙌
