All About YEW

Episode 3 of me having nothing to hide. Today I talk about not being able to help yourself, free will and other stuff. Shoot me a message to let me know what you think! Also, I wanna hear your questions if you have any. Cheers!

Episode 2 of my daily nothing to hide exercise. Today I read a poem I wrote a few years ago, empathy, and approaching your emotions.

Episode 1 of my new pandemic inspired podcast series, where I have nothing to hide for a few minutes every day. 

Grace O Rourke is an absolute champion. Literally! She came to prominence this year as co-winner of RTE's hell week along with Des Seepersad.

She has a very diverse experience – from her professional, sporting, personal and TV life. We discuss this experience and how it has informed her emotional wellbeing.

Follow her on Instagram @graceor_ and LinkedIn where she is most active. Check out her website graceorourke.com

Ciaran is a teacher in St Patricks Classical School Navan, which for me makes his forthcomingness all the more important and impressive. Many young people are struggling emotionally in todays’ world, and it’s of utmost importance that we have teachers like Ciaran leading the pack with #NothingToHide 

We discuss why Ciaran wanted to become a teacher, his memories from school, his personal versus his professional lifestyle, the first time he felt emotionally unwell, the ease with which he expresses himself, the first time he went to counselling, cyber bullying and much more.

*This episode has been rectified and replaced with the correct recording. Apologies to those who wished to hear the second part but couldn't* We can all be too hard on ourselves. Myself and my 3rd guest, David Smith, are no different. After having a great conversation about David's emotional wellbeing, we whipped ourselves for being too serious, and decided to record a second chat titled Episode 4.5. After editing the conversation we felt that we had in fact had a fruitful conversation on both occasions, and that both chats made for a good insight into David's emotional wellbeing and his philosophy on life. In Episode 4.5 we discuss “gallows humour”, my sensitive side, crying, bereavement and more. Please send your feedback on this conversation to the YEW Facebook page. It is with your insight that the YEW project can reach its fullest potential. Check out theseasonticket.ie to see David's sports journalism.
