The Pressure Has to Come Off: Why Women Are Burning Out - Kelly Connor _ Millhouse
21/10/2026 | 51 mins.On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind.
Stretch marks don't just happen on our bodies - they happen throughout our lives.
Kelly Connor on career pressure, motherhood, and why the pressure has to come off.
Kelly Connor joins Sinead for a candid conversation about the stretch of midlife: juggling work, young children, ageing parents, and the pull to rethink what success looks like.
Kelly shares how building a home with little money shaped her fearlessness, and how becoming a mother changed her priorities, her pace, and her definition of a good life.
We also get into the emotional load of parenting, the pressure women feel to keep doing more, and why exercise is not about punishment or perfection but staying mentally and physically well.
All the good stuff!! let's go. xx

Hello - I’m Sinead O’Moore and I’ve got good news for fans of the pod.
Stretch Marks returns Wednesday 14th of October.
In case you’re new - let’s catch you up
Stretch Marks is a podcast that goes deep into the parts of life that are stretching us.
And creates a safe community for us to heal, not hide the marks left behind.
It very much started in motherhood - but it's grown to include relationships, career, health and hormones how to function when it all feels too much.
So I’m here for the next 10 weeks supported with deep conversations with inspirational guests, experts and friends about how to embrace, conquer and thrive throughout every stretch.
Talk to you Wednesday.

Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world).
This is for any woman who is furious at the medical system for ignoring our health, our periods, our fertility and in turn our ability to show up with energy and joy with answers to whats going on.
My guest is a phenomenal irish woman Dr Helen O’Neill who decided we deserved better.
She is a molecular geneticist, reproductive scientist, and as CEO and Co-founder of Hertility Health, an award-winning women’s health biotech company she is pioneering a shift in female healthcare.
Dr. Helen saw how abandoned women are in healthcare and decided to use what she knows to create answers.
Hertility makes Advanced Tailored hormone and fertility testing kits that are delivered straight to your home. With answers you then have referrals to partner clinics.
But don’t worry this isn’t heavy on the science, but it is full of proof that there are several generations of women that know that something is wrong without knowing how to get any answers.

Helen Thorn is an award winning comedian, podcaster and Sunday Times bestseller.
She is one half of the successful comedy duo Scummy Mummies and she joins me on the pod to talk about her new book
"How To Face Big Change and Come Back Stronger"
After discovering her husbands affair, Helen did what most of us would and took to the bed with a bottle of booze, comfort food and grieved until her friend gently suggested she have her health checked and turns out she wasn't doing so well!
She made a decision to use her betrayal as a catalyst for good in her life and to come back stronger.
Since then she has had massive career success, ran 13 marathons, regained her confidence and is pretty much unstoppable.
This book is a gift for anyone facing giant life changes not just divorce and talks through the many arteries of your life that change impacts from friends to career, health to reigniting your sex life again. It's all in this book.
