You’ll know this week’s guest from her award-winning podcast The Good Glow and her bestselling book Glow. Georgie Crawford joins me for a deeply moving and refreshingly unexpected conversation on The Triple Effect.Georgie and her husband Jamie have been through more than most, navigating breast cancer and MS, but they don’t see these challenges as setbacks. Instead, they’ve transformed adversity into purpose: changing careers, launching a successful wellness brand, and sharing their stories to inspire others through life’s toughest moments.What makes this episode truly fascinating is that Georgie’s answers aren’t always what you’d expect and that’s exactly what makes our conversation so powerful.An old soul (she jokes she sometimes feels 90), Georgie has lived a lot of life already. Her wisdom is a blend of personal experience and insights gathered from some of the world’s most inspiring voices, from Mel Robbins and Wim Hof, to Dr. Shefali, Roxie Nafousi, and Martha Beck.Georgie has a calming presence and a thoughtful, grounded way of seeing the world. She doesn’t shy away from going deep, always ready to look beyond the surface and into the heart of what really matters.This is a conversation about resilience, purpose, and turning pain into power.

Ray Goggins - Ex Special Forces
This week on The Triple Effect, my guest is Ray Goggins — former Irish Special Forces operator, bestselling author, and the man most of you will know as the tough but fair Chief Instructor on RTÉ’s Ultimate Hell Week. But to me, he’ll always be “Number 10” — the name I was given during my time on the show.With over 26 years in the Defence Forces, including 17 years in the elite Army Ranger Wing, Ray has spent a lifetime operating and leading in some of the most high-pressure environments imaginable. Now, he’s taking things even further on his new adventure series Uncharted, where he leads well-known Irish figures through extreme survival challenges.In this episode, we go beyond the persona. I got the chance to sit down with Ray in a very different context—away from the shouting, stress, and camo—to talk about how he found his path, what drives him, and the everyday side of the man behind the uniform.Whether it’s the wild or the boardroom, Ray’s all about resilience, leadership, and helping people discover their true potential. It was a really special conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.👉 Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review—it really helps the podcast grow.🗓️ New episodes every Thursday📲 Follow me on Instagram: @BlathnaidTB x Hosted on Acast.

Senator Lynn Ruane
This week on The Triple Effect, I'm joined by Senator Lynn Ruane for a raw and powerful conversation that’s as honest as it is inspiring.Lynn opens up about her turbulent teenage years, a time marked by rebellion, drug use, car theft, and going missing, often. Yet through it all, there remained a constant: the unconditional support of her parents. She reflects on the safe haven they provided, even when she did everything she could to push them away.We also discuss her late-in-life ADHD diagnosis and the nine-month period of reflection and grief that followed. Lynn shares how this new understanding reshaped how she sees her past, both as a young girl and in her professional life. A tireless advocate for equality and social justice, Lynn’s story is one of resilience, empathy, and a deep commitment to uplifting those on the margins. It’s a conversation I’ll never forget, and one that I believe is so important in the wider discussion around neurodiversity. I really hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, please consider leaving a 5-star review and subscribing.

The Triple Effect is a podcast that explores the lasting ripple effects of the people and moments that shape who we become. In each episode, I sit down with influential and well-known guests to reflect on the two individuals and one pivotal situation that profoundly impacted their lives.First, we talk about someone close to them who had a powerful, positive impact. A mentor, a friend, a teacher—someone who saw their potential when others didn’t, stood by their side, or helped them find the courage to grow.Then, we talk about a negative or challenging situation. Something that may have felt like a setback at the time, but ultimately led to transformation, resilience, and unexpected growth.Finally, we explore someone they've never met, but who inspires them deeply. A role model, historical figure, or public personality whose influence continues to guide your path toward success, purpose, or inner peace.The format leads to incredibly rich and unexpected conversations—ones that often take us down surprising paths and offer a rare glimpse into the lives of my guests. It’s a chance for both you, the listener, and me to connect with them on a deeply meaningful level.I hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I do.B x Hosted on Acast.
