Joining me on the couch today are Paul and Trish . After stroke changed their lives forever and aphasia became part of their everyday reality, they could have focused solely on their own recovery. Instead, they chose to create something extraordinary. They founded Talking Heads, a support group giving people with aphasia a place to connect, communicate, and realise they are not alone. Their story is one of resilience, love, determination, and turning personal hardship into hope for countless others.

Today’s episode is one that has the power to educate, challenge misconceptions, and offer hope. Eating disorders affect people of all ages, genders and backgrounds, yet so many people struggle in silence or don’t believe they’re deserving of help. I’m joined today by Laura Casey from Lois Bridges, who works closely with people on their recovery journey. Together, we’ll explore the realities of eating disorders, break down some common myths, and talk about what recovery can truly look like.

Stress has become such a normal part of life that many of us don’t even realise we’re living in survival mode. We push through, stay busy, and keep going, but beneath the surface, our nervous system may still be carrying the weight of past experiences.
In today’s episode, we’re exploring what survival mode really is, why so many people feel stuck after trauma or setbacks, and, most importantly, how mindfulness, meditation and simple daily practices can help us feel safe, present and fully alive again. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to switch off or move forward, this conversation is for you. Joining me on the couch is Natalia Czepukajtys, Owner of Happily Ever Mind.

About Made Of More Podcast
I’m Laura O’Donoghue, and welcome to Made of More. I’m so glad you’re here. This podcast is all about the strength we discover in ourselves when life doesn’t go to plan - the kind of strength that comes from setbacks, tough moments, and the unexpected turns that shape who we are.Every week, I’ll be sitting down with people who’ve lived through real challenges and found a way to rise, rebuild, or completely reinvent themselves. These aren’t just stories of struggle, they’re stories of growth, and that courage we don’t always realise we have. There’ll be plenty of honesty, a few laughs, and hopefully some moments that stay with you long after the episode ends.This season of Made of More is sponsored by Empower Fitness, Carlow.
