Finding Your Pink 🦩

In the first episode of Series 4, I’m joined by the wonderful Dr Doireann O’Leary for a deeply honest conversation about loss, love, motherhood, resilience and finding your way back to yourself.

Doireann opens up about losing her beloved sister Elaine, losing her dad to cancer, and then facing her own cancer diagnosis just weeks later.
We talk about grief, rebuilding your life after unimaginable loss, becoming a mum and that feeling of “Who the heck am I anymore?”

But perhaps most importantly, we talk about how moving forward doesn’t mean leaving the people we’ve lost behind.
We remember them. We carry them with us. And we keep living. 💗

A really special conversation about Resilience • Rebuilding • Remembering — and finding your pink again.

Welcome to season 4 of Finding Your Pink with me Emma Ledden

This podcast is about rediscovering your colour and spark and this new season is all about choosing life.

Choosing joy after grief.
Choosing courage after fear.
And Choosing to believe your story isn't over yet.

Every guest you'll hear has faced moments they never expected. But instead of letting those moments define them, they chose to write another chapter.

Season 4 of Finding Your Pink begins September 21st and I can't wait to share these conversations with you.

This final episode is a chance to pause, reflect and say thank you for all the conversations, vulnerability, honesty and connection shared throughout this season of Finding Your Pink.

We talk about confidence, boundaries, reinvention, identity and what it really means to slowly return to yourself — in your own time.
Thank you for listening, sharing, supporting and finding your pink alongside me.

The final episode of Season 3 is out now 🎙️✨

In this deeply powerful episode of Finding Your Pink, I sit down with Emer O’Neill—author, educator, broadcaster, and activist—to explore the lived reality of being Black and Irish.
From her early days as a teacher to becoming a familiar face on RTÉ, Emer shares how one honest video about her experiences changed the course of her life—and led her into activism. But with that visibility came a heavy cost.
Emer speaks openly about the weight of using your voice to challenge bias, the backlash she has faced, and the emotional toll of standing up for what is right. She shares heartbreaking moments from her childhood, the reality of navigating the world on guard, and the everyday experiences—from hair touching to being asked “where are you really from?”—that highlight the deeper issues of race and belonging.
This conversation is not about blame—it’s about awareness. About learning to sit with discomfort, to question what we think we know, and to grow.
At its core, this episode is about humanity. About seeing each other. And about finding compassion in the conversations that matter most.

On this episode of Finding Your Pink, I’m joined by an Irish woman who followed her dream all the way to the top of the fashion world.
Kristine Kilty is a fashion stylist, creative director and entrepreneur who has spent more than two decades working at the highest level of the industry — styling celebrities, collaborating with global brands and working alongside iconic names like Vivienne Westwood, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Chanel and Dior.
But Kristine’s story isn’t just about fashion and success.
In this conversation, she shares the reality behind the glamour of the fashion industry — the long hours, the relentless pace and the surprising moments of solitude that come with a career in the spotlight.
Kristine also opens up about a life-changing brain injury that forced her to slow down, reassess her life and rediscover what truly mattered.
What followed was not just recovery, but reinvention.
Together we talk about ambition, resilience, alignment, and the courage it takes to evolve — even when others don’t understand your path.
And of course, we talk about what it really means to find your pink.
