E120: Caroline McKenna: Moving Past Heartbreak and Building a Healthier Life

County Down native, Caroline McKenna’s journey from heartbreak and isolation in Australia to building a thriving online community of nearly half a million followers is nothing short of inspiring.

Caroline, a secondary school teacher, moved to Australia just before the pandemic, broke up with her boyfriend, and felt so isolated from family and friends half the world away that she decided to use her social media platforms to document her journey of healing and all that came with it.

In this episode, Caroline opens up about her life in Australia, building 'A County Down Under' global community, her decision to return to Ireland, her personal growth after ending a relationship, and the transformative power of sobriety.

We delve into how she navigates the often harsh world of social media trolling and offers her advice on overcoming negativity online and in real life.

Caroline’s story is one of resilience, healing, and finding purpose amidst life’s biggest challenges.

An honest and empowering conversation that touches on mental health, wellness, and the importance of self-care.
