It was wonderful to meet Dearbhail McDonald who was stepping in for Brendan, on the Brendan O’Connor show last Saturday. We chatted all things Boredom, and why it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Thanks to the whole team for having me back again. If you missed us live, catch our chat below.

Great to chat with John Cooke and Claire Brock on Drive Time - all things relationships. While we hadn’t expected to chat marital relationships per se, I did my best to share some of the insights on this topic that I have learned over the last 30 years, studying and working with professionals as a Chartered Work and Coaching Psychologist. My piece is at 1 hour 24 minutes in. Thanks for having me on!
Midlife Happiness Slump?
Delighted to chat with Henry McKean about why happiness can be a transitory state, and how we can maximise and personalise our happiness for ourselves. My piece is on at 9 minutes 30 seconds in!

It was really interesting to chat with the lovely Meadhbh McGrath all things “the psychology of grudges.” Why we hold them, when they might be useful, and when they might say more about the work we need to do on ourselves… Thanks for including my voice along with these other brilliant experts Meadhbh.

Huge thanks to international journalist Clemence Penard, who interviewed me about my Shamanic training and practice, and why I believe interest in this nature based wisdom tradition is rising.

So lovely to be asked back to chat with Brendan O’Connor, this time about the value of kids doing chores, but from the perspective of future proofing them for the world of work, the family unit as the first team, and how to help avoid burnout in working parents. Huge thanks to all the team for having me back!

Always a pleasure to chat with Sharon Ní Chonchúir, this time about FOBO - "Fear of Becoming Obsolete" at work. Check out her brilliant piece, with insightful comments too from Maryrose Lyons and Sinéad Brady. Thanks again for including my thoughts Sharon!
Is FOBO something you've experienced at work yet?

Great to chat with Henry McKean and Kieran Cuddihy about new, controversial research saying that parents tend to prefer their daughters over their sons. I’ve explained why this might be so, and shared why this can be dangerous for women longer term. You can catch my piece around 14 minutes.

Thanks again to Sharon Ní Chonchúir writing in the Irish Examiner for this brilliant piece about how we can take an active role in managing our happiness at work. That we can define the terms of "success" for ourselves. That we can take an active role in managing our work/life integration, and that what really fuels our satisfaction at work matters. I loved contributing alongside Christian van Nieuwerburgh Yseult Freeney Wladislaw Rivkin Melrona Kirrane Dr Jolanta Burke, CPsychol So, if you're in a reflective mood about your work in 2025, I highly recommend a read!

It was lovely to chat with Martha Brennan for Irish Examiner about how to manage the post-Christmas slump, and why there really is no need to rush headlong back into busyness.
