She is hugely successful and is often referred to as a 'woman whisperer'. On this podcast she explains why we should care more about ourselves, how we can quieten down that inner voice that is tearing us down, that voice that's terrible for our self confidence, telling us we are not doing enough, we are not good enough. I was stressed for 12 years before I got sick, I pushed myself day in day out, until everything fell apart. I heard Gerry Hussey say before 'if we don't make time for our health someday we will be forced to make time for our illness' that is exactly what happened to me. I hope as you listen to this podcast with Dr. Libby that you will realise that you are precious and you deserve the best. This podcast is brought to you with thanks to Vichy.

Where do I start with the beautiful Anna Lee Dowling. I first came across Anna Lee after a tweet she posted went viral, earlier this year. She tweeted that she was found in a train station in China, and went on to be adopted by Irish parents. I was beyond excited when I reached out and she agreed to be a guest on The Good Glow. Today, Anna Lee tells me how she ended up with the most loving parents in Ireland, her deep rooted connection to China and how revisiting the train station where she was found brought up so many emotions.

Damian Browne is a former professional rugby player and adventurer from Galway. Damian has rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and completed many more challenges. This year, climbing Mount Everest was top of his list. A couple of months ago, I started to follow his journey and listen to his podcast, Deep Roots, which he was recording from the mountain. I was so intrigued by his journey and loved listening to him speak about the challenge, his fears and how he felt every day (it sounded like a rollercoaster of emotions). It was one thing for another for Damian, and today he tells me the story in full. It’s fascinating. I asked him what Everest sounded like? His answer gave me GOOSEBUMPS. And just wait until you hear all about the challenge he is taking on next year. He's one incredible person.

Louise Thompson is my guest on the podcast this week. Wow. Where do I begin? I had no idea what to expect from this conversation. Just after I asked her team if she’d consider speaking to me she announced her pregnancy. Her announcement was so real and so refreshing. She said it wasn’t an easy journey for her, that she was scared, unsure and felt vulnerable. What I got from Louise during this conversation was more than I ever expected. We hit it off, she opened up and we spoke at length about what she’s been going through and how she navigated her fertility journey. She spoke about healing from being on reality TV for so long (Made In Chelsea) and how she keeps herself well. She really speaks from the heart and there is something so special about her.

After being diagnosed with cancer when she was just 7 years old, Saoirse and her family have been on a very difficult journey over the past year.

It's still very raw, but today Roseanna bravely tells me about what they have been through. She shares her story too, things about her life that she's never discussed publicly before. She tells me her husband Ollie was diagnosed with cancer when he was 30 and how they tried for years to conceive their second daughter Farrah Rose who is turning 2 in January. Caner didn't take Saoirse's love of life and her beautiful personality. Roseanna tells me how much of a boost the Toy Show gave them, why they decided to give so much of the money raised for Saoirse back to the charities that helped them and how after a very painful year that music has found its way back into their lives.

This week on The Good Glow podcast I speak to Rosie Connolly. It's been quite the few weeks for Rosie after she found a lump in her breast in October. Rosie's mind went to the worst place as her mum and nana both had breast cancer. After an agonising couple of weeks waiting for the results, she was told that her lump was not cancerous. Rosie used her platform to encourage women to check themselves and today opens up about what that time was like. Rosie's story is really important. It's important for us to know that not all lumps are cancerous, that we need to know what our normal is when it comes to our bodies and most importantly that you shouldn't be afraid to check yourself. Rosie knows she's incredibly lucky and me too and my thoughts this week are with anyone who is having a tough time or waiting for results this week. Rosie also speaks to me about her amazing fundraiser for Crumlin and Temple Street hospitals and her new brand 4thARQ. she tells me all about the reason behind its name and all the hard work she's put into it this year.

I really wanted to do a podcast this week that reflected how Irish people abroad may be feeling right now, missing home and unsure what lies ahead for Christmas. It's been a long year for us all, but everyday I have felt so lucky to have my family just around the corner. I get messages every week from Irish people living abroad who listen to my podcast - in Australia, Dubai, Canada and the US and i know many of them miss home so much. I wanted to do something this week to let them know that I hope they are not too lonely and manage to get home this festive season. Michaela has a fascinating life. She lives on the Upper East Side of New York, she speaks about fellow Irish woman Samantha Barry who hired her and was so supportive. We speak about the madness of this year, how it made her love New York even more and her advice to people who have a dream. This podcast is brought to you in partnership with Spotlight Oral Care.

Holly Ryan and I have gotten to know each other over the past year. She shared her story with me and feels ready to now share it further. When she was 18, Holly was attacked as she made her way home. She was so close to her house that her mum woke up to her screams. Thankfully Holly's mum and dad and a passer by stopped the attack and Holly was taken home. Today she takes me through the impact that night had on her life, how hard it was to share her story and how she healed. I'm so grateful to Holly for sharing her story today, I know it wasn't easy for her but she wants to use her voice to educate people. In the last couple of weeks a plan has been published by the government for supporting victim’s journeys through the reporting of sexual offence cases.
