Connected Communication Christine Mullaney

This episode took on a bit of a mind of its own. I reflect on taking a big life leap and submitting a chapter of my book for publication. I also share different ways to talk about hesitation and the use of ums and ahs in speech, offering tips on how to reduce them and improve public speaking skills. Learn what it means to 'suck your teeth' in Ireland and why 'you can't plough a field by turning it over in your mind.'

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.

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.

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.”
