Leon Diop is the founder of Black and Irish, an organisation created to highlight and celebrate the struggles and successes of the Black and Mixed Race Irish community. In this episode of our Can't Say That Anymore series, Leon shared what it was like growing in Ireland as a mixed race person and how he deals with questions like ‘But where are you really from?” based on the colour of his skin.

Welcome to episode one of Can't Say That Anymore our brand new series from Lennon Courtney World.
Nikki Bradley is an adaptive adventurer, motivational speaker and disability advocate. At aged 16 Nikki was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare and deadly form of bone cancer which thankfully, she survived. However, her gruelling treatment plan caused irreversible damage to her hip leading to multiple failed hip replacements and eventually the amputation of her right leg. But, despite the physical challenges Nikki has faced, her passion for adventure and setting challenges has never left her. Nikki has climbed glaciers in Iceland, abseiled off Fanad Lighthouse in Donegal and finished the 24km Fan Dance in the Brecon Beacons in Wales – all while using crutches. 
In this episode she talked to us about some of these incredible adventures and perhaps one of the most gruelling challenges of all - what it’s like dating with a disability. This episode was recorded before Nikki became Senator. We are so happy for her recent great news.

One of the recurring themes in all our episodes for series 9 was the idea of setting boundaries in life, love and work. In this episode, Brendan and Sonya looked at the roles we play for those around us and the importance of letting them go sometimes and prioritising yourself. Enjoy and see you soon for series 10.

Last year, Sonya and Brendan celebrated 15 years of friendship and 10 years of the Lennon Courtney label. So in this episode they asked, just what is the secret to sustaining a long term relationship? Plus Sonya shares her trick to never missing an anniversary date.

In this episode from series 9, we talked about our busy lives and how many of us feel stretched beyond capacity. So how do we continue to keep all our various life plates spinning and stay well at the same time? Enter stage left, Sonya and Brendan to discuss and dissect the issue with wisdom, wit and warmth.

We are working our Lennon Courtney socks off getting series 10 of The Lennon Courtney Podcast ready but in the meantime, here's a favourite episode from season 9 - the Thinking Woman’s Guide to the Supernatural.

In this episode, we both shared childhood ghostly experiences and Dr. Sonya explains where our obsession with the occult comes from. Once you've listened, follow @lennoncourtney on all the socials for the latest news from LC HQ or we’ll haunt you!
