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. Anna Lee is a bright young girl who I have no doubt will go on to do wonderful things. Her approach to life and the ups and downs we endure along the way is inspiring.

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. I hope you enjoy it. This podcast is brought to you with thanks to Ireland's Leading Pharmacy Chain, Lloyds Pharmacy.The Good Glow Wellness Programme is now available

I have learned so much over the last couple of weeks and I'm so grateful to Erica for everything she has taught me and for opening up about such a sensitive subject.

This week Georgie speaks to Laura Nolan Horgan. Laura was 32 when she found out she was BRCA 1 positive, often referred to as the Angelina Jolie gene, meaning she had a higher risk of developing ovarian or breast cancer. Laura was expecting her third child and she decided to have a hysterectomy 6 weeks after the birth of her little boy and a double mastectomy in the months afterwards. Laura speaks about menopause in her 30s, the amazing support network she had around her and how after everything she's been through she still feels like herself but an even better version.

This week Georgie speaks to Trisha's Transformation. Trisha Lewis says she hit rock bottom in 2017. With the encouragement of her family she decided she wanted to get fit and find her happiness again. Over the last couple of years she has lost 8 stone but most importantly radiates happiness and positivity and is loving every minute of life.

This week Georgie speaks to Louise Cooney. Louise is one of Ireland's top bloggers and made the big move to New York in 2019, to start a new phase of her life. She speaks to Georgie about living and working in the city and why she made the decision to come home when Covid 19 started to really impact the US. Louise has since raised 90 thousand euro for Pieta House after losing a family member to suicide. She has always been open and honest and says she wants to use her platform further to encourage people to talk about mental health.

Laura's career has gone from strength to strength since she moved to London, working on some of the UK's biggest shows like MTV News, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now and Love Island.

Georgie's first ever live show with special guests Claire Solan and Miriam Hussey. To this day, Georgie still get messages about her podcast with Claire, which was recorded in season 1 and felt they had so much more to talk about. The same can be said for her podcast with Miriam, with people telling Georgie they listened to it over and over again because Miriam's advice and knowledge was so helpful. It opened people up to learning how to love themselves, deal with stress and practice self care. This live show was brought to the Stella Theatre in partnership with Fitbit.

Georgie reflects on the events of the past week and also answers some listener questions. It's an emotional one on Mother's Day 2020. A very different Mother's Day to what we were expecting this year. Hoping everyone is staying safe and well. Lots of love.

She made big changes in her life a couple of years ago after a separation, but afterwards she became so ill she had no option but to stop working.
