Settling back in with Katie Geaney

This episode's guest is Katie Geaney, the face behind the Instagram page @naturalbornoptimist. Katie and Ena met in Melbourne and have both since moved back to Ireland. This conversation digs into the process of re-adjusting to a place you have left, finding your place again within family and friend groups after being away for a time. They touch on societal expectations, the loneliness of living away, the excitement of a move abroad & the notion of finality that can arise when it comes to making the decision to move home. Ena shares her poem about moving home in this episode.
