Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16242&preview=true)  A successful job search starts with self-knowledge, not sending out applications. According to Find Your Dream Job guest Aoife O'Brien, many job seekers make the mistake of jumping into similar roles after feeling unhappy at work, only to land in the same situation again. Aoife's "Know, Show, Grow" framework encourages starting with three core pillars: values – what truly matters to you beyond a paycheck; needs – what keeps you motivated day to day; strengths – what energizes you and comes naturally. Without this foundation, you risk repeating the cycle of unfulfilling jobs. Aoife also recommends showing your value by tying your strengths to real business outcomes from past roles. Instead of applying everywhere, focus on opportunities that align with your authentic self, and submit fewer, better applications.

The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast is the second of our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Previews, where Ali talks to a few of the artists who will be appearing at the Fringe this year.First of all writer/director Aoife Parr and composer and sound designer Tom Baines talked about their show Anatomy of Pain which is "An unflinching look at the NHS through the eyes of a young person's struggle with a lifelong medical condition". That condition is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Aoife talks about the personal story which inspired this show before Tom and Aoife talk all about how they work together.Actor and writer Ruaraidh Murray then tells us about Colours Run, which "is a gritty dark comedy two-hander about a troubled Hibs casual Pongo and his brother Pete", written by Mikey Burnett. It's theatre company 4PLAY's first Edinburgh Fringe Festival production and Ruaraidh details not only the play, but the work of 4PLAY as well.Connor McKenna is the writer/performer behind one-man show Seltzer Boy and he details the inspiration behind it, and the themes he wanted to explore. He also discusses some of the differences he has found between eating and drinking in his native America and his now home of Scotland.These podcasts are always a joy to record and get just a taste of what's happening in Edinburgh this August, and we hope these discussions about three very different shows get you in the mood for this year's Fringe.Full details, including all the ways to listen, are over at scotswhayhae.com

In this episode, Niall dives into one of the most heated discussions in Ireland today: Should the Constitution be changed to guarantee every citizen the right to housing?Broadcasting live, Niall opens the lines to callers from across the country—and the opinions couldn't be more divided.Some callers strongly support the idea:“Housing should be a basic right, not a privilege,” says Mary from Galway. “People are living in tents while buildings lie empty. It's time the government was held accountable.”Others warn of unintended consequences:“If you write this into the Constitution, you're opening the floodgates,” argues Declan in Dublin. “It'll lead to endless legal battles and strain public finances even more.”And some are torn:“I believe everyone deserves a home, but I'm not sure a constitutional change is the best way to fix a broken system,” admits Aoife from Cork.Through respectful debate, passionate views, and tough questions, Niall guides listeners through the legal, moral, and practical sides of a constitutional right to housing.Whether you're firmly for it, completely against it, or just trying to make sense of it all—this episode is a must-listen.

Have you ever felt like a fraud or doubted your accomplishments? In this episode, Kevin welcomes Aoife O'Brien to discuss the often-misunderstood phenomenon of imposter syndrome. Aoife shares research that led her to identify five distinct imposter identities: The Overachiever, The Comparer, The People Pleaser, The Procrastinator, and The Success Fearer, and explains how these behaviors show up and affect individuals and teams.

My guest this week is Sara Watkins, with a deep dive into I'm With Her's latest record, 'Wild and Clear and Blue', which has already become one of my favourite records of recent years.We talk about the album's first writing sessions in 2021, just as the world was starting to reconnect post-pandemic and how that theme of connection eventually grew to run through the whole record. We also talk about collaboration and how essential that is to I'm With Her; the joy of cover versions and getting to know someone through music; how that shared love provided the seed for the album's title track and why playing these songs with Aoife and Sarah at this point feels so special.I also ask Sara about her own journey as a songwriter, stepping out of the shadows of her bandmates in Nickel Creek and we discuss the idea that albums are like puppies (you'll just need to listen!)This was one of my absolute favourite interviews to record.

On Wednesday's Morning Focus Alan Morrissey was joined by Aoife Ní Eochaidh, a clinical independent expert in women's health and pelvic floor dysfunction. Alan and Aoife spoke about an issue that has affected hundreds of women across Ireland, the devastating impact of transvaginal mesh implants. Despite being marketed as a routine solution for common pelvic health issues, these devices have caused long-term pain, complications, and a deep sense of betrayal among many patients. Mesh Survivors Ireland has been campaigning for over eight years to bring visibility, justice, and reform to this issue.

Okay, we won't lie. That episode was a marathon.Yes, it was too good to stop, and in fairness, we didn't want to stop either. But the weight of what did, didn't, and almost happened left us emotionally and physically drained. Worth it? Absolutely.This was a true reunion, for both players and characters, and the Newly Dead came back together in the only way they know how: dealing (and taking) a healthy dose of damage. At least they weren't fighting each other this time, right?In this episode of Action Surge, Harry guides his tired little soldiers through an episode full of death, barters, secrets, and desperation to break down what might be our most impressive team-building exercise to date. (Though Hollie is still convinced Elowen could've taken him if it came down to it. And it almost did.)Now that the party's reunited, it's time to start trading secrets. Aoife opens up about Dolly and Reliquiae's most toxic ex-boyfriend, while Alex insists certain details stay under wraps, for now, to give them the space they need to breathe…and, in some cases, to grieve.Ben, as ever, has thoughts about hit points and how much he enjoys having them just so he can lose them. Oh, and there's nothing quite like a Chromatic Orb finally hitting and bouncing. In his defence, it was incredibly satisfying!And is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Kelnys, whose incredible dragon wings and third level healing spells just about kept the team on their feet. Well almost. A few still hit the deck. Someone's got to help pick up the pieces, right Doug?Speaking of decks, the cards once again proved they are absolutely not what anyone expects. But hey, at least we managed to avoid adding a new edition to the pack.Oh, and what can we say? Crafted Campaigns has once again outdone themselves. And we're pretty sure both Elowen and I would agree: the thought of running up and down the stairs in that place again is, quite frankly, exhausting. Hosted on Acast.

In this heartfelt episode, Aoife and Jenny sit down to reflect on the emotional journey that follows birth, the part we don't always talk about. Aoife opens up about her two very different birth experiences, sharing the raw and real emotions that came with each — the joy, the grief, the guilt, and the healing.Together, they explore how recovery is about so much more than stitches and sleep. It's about the quiet moments when you question everything, the invisible weight mothers carry, and the strength it takes to ask for help.

Renowned creative talent Aoife Dunne graces our latest episode of the Baby Tribe Podcast, bringing her unique perspective on life, loss, and laughter. Aoife shares her compelling journey from losing her mother at a young age to stepping into a parental role for her siblings, all while challenging societal expectations around womanhood and childlessness. With humour and heart, we discuss the peculiarities of how a woman's worth is unfairly measured by her reproductive choices. We explore the trials she faced growing up in a vegetarian household in 1980s Ireland, her experiences with societal norms, and the lessons of empathy and understanding from her unconventional upbringing. Through these stories, we uncover the raw and real emotions of navigating familial roles after loss, the stigma surrounding childlessness, and the societal pressures of parenthood. Wrapping up, we embrace the idea of finding joy in the unpredictable "squiggly lines" of life. Aoife encourages us to start projects driven by curiosity and love, emphasizing that the journey is just as important as the destination. We touch on the importance of hobbies and creativity, advocating for the freedom to explore life beyond traditional roles. With laughter, introspection, and a celebration of authenticity, this episode is a heartfelt reminder to live life on your own terms, embracing both the sadness and the joy along the way.

Watch This Episode On YouTubeWith the baritones of Bono and U2 as the soundtrack, the globe-trotting world of Mary Robinson requires an epic film to depict her life, and thankfully, they found the director that can deliver just that in Irish filmmaker Aoife Kelleher.Aoife gave us the brilliant film MRS ROBINSON (2024), still on its festival run. MRS ROBINSON tells the inspirational life story of change-maker Mary Robinson: Ireland's first female President, a pioneering UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the successor of Nelson Mandela as Chair of The Elders.And if all that wasn't enough, check out her film, TESTIMONY (2025), also on the festival circuit. Not sure when Aoife has time to sleep but she found time to talk with me for the podcast, and I'm delighted to share that conversation with you.In this episode, Aoife and I discuss:her biographical statement that she seeks in her work to "tell hidden truths about Ireland and Irishness" -- what does that mean? what is an Irish film?;how did she get involved in filmmaking? "my parents were primary school principals and my dad was a politician so it was like, there were a lot of debates around these kind of themes at the dinner table";her switch from law to filmmaking -- "I'd had this work experience in a legal firm that had put me off the idea of pursuing law";what did she learn from her first documentary ONE MILLION DUBLINERS (2014) that she takes away for her current film?how did she get the opportunity to make MRS ROBINSON (2024), even with pitching against many other companies -- "you really can't stress [enough] how large Mary Robinson looms in Irish society";how she made it clear they weren't creating a puff piece documentary -- "from the earliest points in the pitching process, we made it clear that we would not be doing that, and that was what she wanted, too";how she was able to license U2 and other prominent musicians as part of this film (they were going to play "Fortunate Son" by CCR in a Vietnam scene...I think it worked out better with Bono!);the climate activism portion of the film and how it resonates now versus 30 years ago;how has documentary changed in the last ten years?;what's next for her? TESTIMONY (2025) is also on the festival circuit, which means she has TWO feature films on the circuit right nowAoife's Indie Film Highlight: BLUE ROAD: THE EDNA O'BRIEN STORY (2024) dir. by Sinead O'Shea; A WANT IN HER (2024) dir. by Myrid CartenLinks:MRS ROBINSON (2024) WebsiteFollow Screen Ireland on Instagram For More Info On Irish FilmmakersWatch This Episode On YouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

It's all going really well… until it isn't.In this episode of Action Surge, Harry reflects on the delicate balance between giving players freedom and pushing them toward the decisions that matter.Aoife opens up about being the centre of attention, how she doesn't always love it, how Dolly handles it, and why it's easier when it's on her own terms.We break down how a perfectly timed natural 20 can stop someone from being alone, and how the dice really do weave their own story. Speaking of stories, we also dive into the importance of knowing when to step back. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should, sometimes the best kind of play is letting someone else have the spotlight.Harry also shares the roles he feels most at home in, and how his charm nearly had Alex believing every word. (Key word: nearly. That liar's smile gave it away.)And as for not being at the table? Doug is all for it. Why? Because it means there are surprises in store. Hosted on Acast.

“And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain….”We are sad to say that we have come to the last episode of Where Is My Mind, and what a journey it has been. Hundreds of podcasts, world class guests, incredible human stories and a dedicated bunch of listeners who have supported us through it all. For our last episode, Niall is joined by Ciara, who produced the first two seasons of the podcast, and Aoife, who has produced hundreds of episodes since. With a shared passion for changing how we see, treat and understand mental health and wellbeing, the trio discuss the highs and lows of the last 6 years, from how the podcasting landscape has changed to the ongoing societal shifts that impact each of us everyday. It's a bittersweet ending but we are incredibly proud of everything we have achieved with this podcast, and we hope it encourages each of you to continue to critically thinking about the world, the space we take up in it and space it takes up in us.For more mindfulness content check out Niall's Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslinFollow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it's important to talk to someone about it now.
