The Good Glow The Good Glow

Dermot Whelan shocked the nation when he walked away from his hugely successful job of 21 years in radio. Today he speaks about the toll of not honouring your gut feelings, how to really forgive yourself and let go of certain stories from your past and how we can BE HERE NOW. This is full of heart and soul. Thank you Dermot!

Looking on at Hannah Saunders, everything seemed so perfect. She is Founder and Director of Hannah Saunders PR. Still in her early 30s, she has built her brand off the back of hard work, commitment and an impeccable eye for detail. Recently, Hannah took the bravest step one could take by speaking out and telling the world that as a child she was sexually abused. When I think of Hannah I think of the words' strength, resilience, kindness, openness, generosity, she is turning her pain into her power and is saving lives by telling her story. I am deeply honoured to speak to Hannah today and while the unimaginable happened to her, today is about her rising.

This week, I am bringing you something new and exciting. A mini reset. This podcast might just change the rest of your year. And it's a double whammy this week because afterwards I speak to Ella Mills aka Deliciously Ella about becoming the best version of yourself.
 
Today's questions:
What am I doing in my life that’s working for me? 
What am I doing in my life that’s not working for me? 
What brings me joy? 
What brings me peace? 
What have I been holding onto for far too long? 
What do I need to let go of in order to move forward?
What is the feeling I would like more of in my life?

Thanks Yoplait Skyr for supporting The Good Glow this season. Click here for today's recipe.

Billy McCarthy is the son of first and second generation Irish immigrants Margaret and Bill McCarthy. Their lives changed forever on 9/11, when they lost their son and brother Michael Desmond in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centres in 2001. Michael Desmond worked on the 92nd floor of the North Tower, with a company called Carr Futures. He was 33, an assistant vice president, hugely successful and due to finish work that day at 10am.
Today, Billy speaks to me about the day that changed everything and I am so grateful for his time.

Mark Mehigan’s book This Is Not A Self Help Book begins ‘My name is Mark and I am an alcoholic. You could probably also call me a drug addict.’ When I read that first line I knew this would be one of the most honest book I’d ever read and from that moment I couldn’t put it down. 

Today, I speak to Mark about his decision to share everything with the world, the good, the bad and the ugly. After spending much of his 20s addicted to alcohol and drugs, Mark found a way to turn his life around and he has never looked back. 

Order Mark’s book.

Peter O'Riordan probably best known for his stint on Xpose is one in a million. With a big personality and an even bigger heart, Peter left Ireland when his TV career didn't work out and moved to Hawaii. After hitting rock bottom, he rebuilt his life and now owns 3 businesses in Maui. However, on August 8th last year, the world watched on as a wildfire in Hawaii burned his house down along with everything he owned. To make matters worse, Peter wasn't in Hawaii at the time and had to watch on TV from an airport. Today Peter tells me of the unimaginable journey he and his community has been on since then and how he is rebuilding his life.
