    67: Emotional Overwhelm and Madness in Ireland

    67: Emotional Overwhelm and Madness in Ireland

    This week, I discuss the concept of compartmentalisation and its role in managing emotions and stress. I share personal experiences and strategies for managing emotional overwhelm, learning to trust our instincts, detach from societal expectations, and focus on what brings us joy and fulfilment. I tell you about the surprisingly enjoyable experience of having an MRI and talk about my experience walking the Camino de Santiago, healing from head to heart after narcissistic abuse. I close with a heartfelt tribute to my late grandfather. Oh, and I teach you 10 phrases we use in Ireland to describe someone who’s a bit insane – in a good way.

    66: Healing Neurodiversity - Irish Cures & Curses

    66: Healing Neurodiversity - Irish Cures & Curses

    This week, I'm exploring the history of cures and remedies in Ireland, highlighting the traditional practices and beliefs surrounding healing. As usual, I share personal experiences and stories of famous healers, such as Biddy Early, who used clairvoyance, herbs, flowers, and trees to heal people. I touch on the evolution of medicine in Ireland, from ancient Druidic practices to the influence of Christianity. The importance of oral tradition and the passing down of cures from generation to generation comes up, and I offer personal experiences with healing cures and remedies passed down in my family. I also discuss the definitions and meanings of neurotypicality, neurodivergence, and neurodiversity, questioning the meaning of these terms and advocating for a more inclusive and accepting society.

    65: Travelling Singers

    65: Travelling Singers

    This week, I discuss the derogatory term 'knacker,’ used to refer to the travelling community in Ireland, its historical evolution and cultural implications. I look at the history and language of Irish travellers, highlighting the need for understanding and acceptance. Later, I touch on the importance of dropping perceptions, understanding and respecting different cultures and neurodivergent individuals, and the importance of inclusive communication. I share a story about Cathy Maguire, a well-known singer and TV presenter in Ireland, and my Mum, which taught me a life lesson about inclusion, especially for individuals from marginaliSed communities. Finally, I leave you with tips for supporting autistic individuals in the workplace and a poem called “The Irish Travellers.”

I love the fact that each episode is a different subject. As I am in sales in a different language I find it so interesting and relevant. Christine is easy to listen to.

A Beautiful Storyteller!

Christine weaves fascinating stories while sharing how communication impacts and inspires us. Her love of people, psychology, and heart-felt experiences guide us to uncover and discover our own stories and how we connect and communicate with others. Every conversation is a healing journey felt deeply from the soul. It’s obvious how Michelle and Christine guide people to more awareness, compassion, peace, and self-love. Love this! Great work! 💖🌟💖

Communication is key to relationships.

Christine, great show. I’m loving it.
Christine is dedicated to the topic of communication. Words are important. My speech coaches have always talked about the importance of words in communication. My first recollection of a conversation was our disagreement about whether it would rain in Spain. You want that one, but I also lived when you called the gaters on my shoes shoe umbrellas. That will always be remembered.
Keep up the great podcast. I’m
Looks forward to learning more.
