    EPISODE 1

    S6 E1 - The Importance of Making Time for Yourself: Motherhood, Grief and Finding Confidence Again – with Sinéad Kavanagh @thebeauttruth

    This is one of those conversations I’ll never forget. Sinéad Kavanagh joined me for a chat that turned into so much more. We laughed, we cried (I choked up at the end), and we covered everything from growing up in a close Irish family to navigating motherhood, cancer, grief, online life and everything in between. She shares her experience of thyroid cancer and complicated pregnancies, and how she accidentally became one of Ireland’s most relatable voices online. We talked about the pressure to follow a set path, the long road to confidence, and what it really means to live in the moment. If you've ever felt behind in life, struggled with self-doubt, or just needed to hear someone say “me too” - I think you’ll love this one. In this episode we talk about: School, bullying and becoming “the soft one”Letting go of timelines (and embracing detours)How cancer changed everything and kickstarted @thebeauttruthChoosing to stay home, choosing to be presentFinding your confidence (even if you start with none)Why grief never goes away and that’s okay You can find Sinéad here: Instagram | Facebook | TikTok  ____ BeBelle is a podcast hosted by Sian Horn that dives into the stories of remarkable people behind their businesses.
