Some Stories Break Your Heart”: Claire Opens Up as Ash Reads a Listener’s Gut-Wrenching Message
This week’s episode of We Could Talk For Ireland takes a deeply emotional turn. Claire shares something incredibly personal, and Ash reads a message from a follower that stopped both of us in our tracks.
The story – a young girl let down by every male figure in her life – is one that sadly reflects the reality for many. As Ash says, “Every single one of us is carrying something, and sometimes we just need to say it out loud.”
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s exactly why we started this podcast.
