On today's podcast I had a very fascinating chat with Fiona Finn, CEO of The Sexual Health Centre in Cork.
Like so many people, Fiona was forced to leave a very repressed Ireland for London in search of work and adventure. Working for a local authority she discovered a passion for making a difference when she was helping immigrants as part of her role.
Following this passion she returned to Ireland and as a mature student she completed a Law Degree with a focus on human rights, she took a role with a migrants and refugee rights centre, NASC, and became their CEO, she joined the One Foundation and then The Sexual Health Centre, where she has been since 2024.
The work here is very diverse covering everything from reproductive health, chem sex, transgender support to understanding the rising hatred against the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland.
Everywhere Fiona goes she is determined to make a difference.

Therese comes with a huge story, from the quiet girl who got in trouble in school because she was too shy to read a piece aloud in front of the class to the powerhouse who runs her own leadership training organisation today.
She has navigated some huge challenges in her life including recovering from a brain haemorrhage, the death by suicide of the father of her son and losing a business she had built up with her sister.

On today's podcast I spoke with Leila Gherabli, the director of a film documentary 'Hope is the thing with Feathers'.
The beautiful film featuring the staff and members of the RehabCare Bantry, captures the personal stories, memories, aspirations and goals of the people attending the service, filmed within the glorious surrounds of the centre.
It turns out Leila, who is a programme facilitator with RehabCare Bantry has had her own big story with many twists and turns. Her role and the film project have come at a perfect time where her huge heart and her creativity were able to flourish, illuminating the potential and spirit of the people who use the services of RehabCare.

On today's podcast I chatted with author and marriage and family therapist, Kristen Mosier.
Kristen, originally from the Bronx in New York chatted about her life and career, and in particular the change of pace she experienced when she moved to New Jersey.
Her new book 'Restless - How to Stop Living an "If Only" Life' challenges how so many of us are living our lives, always chasing the next thing and never truly satisfied with where we are in ourselves.
She speaks about how to be more present in our lives and how we can all make better decisions when we use our own inner compass by adhering to our personal values.
While society has us programmed to keep pushing forward we need to be sure that this doesn't have us permanently restless.

On today's podcast I chatted with Dawn Russell, the amazing CEO of Ana Liffey.
Dawn, a huge music lover is originally from a small farm in Tipperary and her social conscience was awoken through her mothers work at St.Lukes, a psychiatric hospital in Tipperary, and meeting a character in Clonmel called Martin who she says always looked out for her.
Her eyes were opened when she came to Dublin to pursue a career in counselling and discovered the harm reduction work that Merchant's Quay was doing in the city.
When Dawn joined the front line team at Ana Liffey over 19 years ago, she quickly found herself assisting people at their lowest ebb through addiction, homelessness, mental health or domestic violence issues.
Always pushing for change and a desire to make even more impact, she rose to the role of CEO and now oversees the provision of services to 5,000 clients per annum in Dublin, Balbriggan and LImerick.
Dawn says you must believe in everyone, even when they have stopped believing in themselves - never give up and never judge
