Intrusive thoughts can feel all-consuming when you're living with anxiety or depression—but they don’t define you. Healing starts when you gently shift your focus from the noise in your head back into your body and the present moment. It’s not about stopping the thoughts, but learning to ground yourself, reconnect, and remember you're not alone. You can find your way back to yourself, one breath at a time.

In this heart-warming episode, I speak with Jenny Sheehan, the Activities Coordinator at Care Choice Montenotte Nursing Home. Together, we dive into the joys and challenges of caring for the elderly, focusing on how essential self-care is for caregivers. Jenny shares invaluable insights on maintaining emotional and mental health while providing compassionate care. From laughter-filled moments with residents to tips on managing your own energy, this conversation is a reminder that caregiving is as rewarding as it is important.

In today's show I speak with Peter, the Mindset Explorer. Peter is a mind-body specialist who focuses on treating chronic pain and emotional distress by addressing the often-overlooked nervous system and its ability to produce debilitating neuroplastic pain and symptoms.

Topics covered in this episode:
We explore how chronic pain and leaning into this rather than avoiding, shutting down or numbing out pain, can actually be the pathway forward to true healing and freedom. This episode explores how we truly have the power within and that we can move beyond pain, overcoming trauma by coming home to our bodies, finding deep love and acceptance for all of us, no matter what we have been through.

Karen shares her inspiring journey from pharmaceutical chemist to Mental Health First Aid Instructor, Suicide First Aider, and EMT. In this episode, we talk about her transition into mental health work, the impact of personal loss, and her mission to support others through education and empathy.

We cover how to spot subtle signs that someone might be struggling, how to start safe, compassionate conversations, and what we can all do better when it comes to talking about suicide. Karen also opens up about resilience, the healing power of nature, and why the journey truly matters more than the destination.

In today’s episode, Beyond BurnoutYoga & Energy Healing — Coming Back to Wholeness. Nicola, a Cork-based yoga teacher and energy practitioner, opens up about the moment burnout changed her life—and how it led her to share the deeply restorative practices of Reiki, Rahanni Celestial Healing, Yin, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga Nidra.

With a background in healthcare and a spirit attuned to holistic wellness, Nicola shares how her work in the disability sector shaped her inclusive, compassionate approach to teaching. We explore what it really means to make yoga accessible to every body, why healing is both personal and universal, and how the ancient practices of stillness can bring us home to ourselves.

This is more than a conversation—it's a reminder to breathe, slow down, and reconnect. Tune in, feel held, and leave with gentle tools for self-care and transformation.
