Podcasts about Connemara

The conversation continues in Part 2 as Brian Peters opens up on his decade-long bond with Katie Taylor and why they've operated on a handshake deal without a contract. Brian sets the record straight on the Amanda Serrano and Chantelle Cameron fights, reflects on coming out of retirement in Connemara to change Irish sport forever and shares a brilliant story about spending a day in a hotel room with Muhammad Ali before they headed to a classic Irish boxing bout involving Steve Collins. Plus, Brian reveals details about Katie's life after boxing - from producing a brand-new theatrical stage play about her life (featuring a 21-date tour, Q&A, and dates in the Aran Islands) to launching new business where the plan is to fight just as hard in the boardroom as she did in the boxing ring. We also discuss in greater detail his workings with Irishmen Pierce O'Leary, Steven Cairns and Adam Olaniyan - with the retirement ship most definitely skuttled at Killary Harbour. Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailThe Connemara Pony Breeders' Society has just come through the most turbulent chapter in its recent history — six council resignations in February, a rescheduled AGM, and a community at times at war with itself online. In this episode, the people now at the helm sit down to answer your questions, on the record.Host Lucinda Kelly is joined by Kevin Bolger, the new President of the CPBS; Ann Marie Conroy, Company Secretary and Joint PRO, who served as President herself in 2020 and 2021; and Kathleen Conroy, Joint PRO and Chair of Marketing and Education.Shaped by questions from listeners across the Connemara community, the conversation looks honestly at the state of the Society, how the new council intends to steady the ship, and where things go from here. Members will make their own minds up — but they can't do that without hearing directly from the people now leading the Society.Hosted by Lucinda Kelly.

Conor Coyne, CEO of Kylemore Abbey, discusses the Connemara ponies being brought to Áras an Uachtaráin for the summer.

Margaret concludes her survey of the wildflowers of Mount Carmel — asphodels, dwarf gladioli, sea squill, cyclamens and anemones — before turning to a concern closer to home: the wild rhododendron spreading through Connemara at a speed she couldn't quite believe, forming a canopy so dense that cowslips and primroses will eventually disappear beneath it.

If your herb bed could only earn space for ten plants, which ones would actually make your dinners better week after week? We take a listener request from Ivy in Connemara and build a clear, usable shortlist of essential herbs for an Irish garden, balancing everyday cooking with what genuinely grows well in our climate.We start with the hardy, low-effort staples that keep giving: rosemary, sage and thyme. We talk about why free-draining soil matters so much for Mediterranean herbs in Ireland, how many plants you really need for a household, and the little details that turn a struggling herb into a reliable year-round picker. From roast potatoes to stuffing and simple midweek meals, these are the herbs that justify their place.From there we move into the heavy lifters and the seasonal favourites: chives for near-daily use, parsley as a biennial you can easily preserve by freezing into ice-cube trays, and Italian cooking essentials like oregano, basil and bay laurel. We also get honest about the love-it-or-hate-it herbs, including coriander and dill, plus the practical reality that coriander needs repeat sowing if you want a steady supply. To round things out, we mention a few brilliant medicinal herbs for teas and wellbeing, and share details of our upcoming herbal workshop with Laura Darcy on 5 September.If you enjoy practical growing advice and want more flavour from your garden with less effort, subscribe, share the episode with a gardening friend, and leave us a review.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

When your school trips involve fishing Lough Melvin and the Kylemore system in Connemara, there is a good chance you might get handy at fishing. This was obviously the case with Sammy McGowan and no doubt helped him to burst on to the Irish Team as a 19-year-old on Loch Leven in Scotland.  Sammy won top Irish rod on this first cap and went on to earn many more international caps while still in his twenties. Hailing from Co. Down, Sammy is well known on the Irish fly fishing scene. He took a step back for a while from the competition fishing in latter years but hopes to get back to it again.  Sammy turned his attention to dying and sourcing fly tying materials. In what started out as a hobby, it grew and grew for him and since Covid, has now become his main job, running his business, Irish Fly Supplies.  For more, visit https://irish-fly-supplies.square.site/For this episode Tom is joined by Mike Keady and they look back at how the mayfly fared, and talk to Sammy about his early years, competition fishing, fly tying materials, his love of Lough Neagh and, very interestingly, a Pink Flamingo which has nothing to do with fly-tying materials! Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on:https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.https://www.irelandonthefly.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089135445929

Subscribe for free to receive priority notification on future episodes and to access valuable Irish language learning resources.Throughout the conversation, Laura speaks honestly about imposter syndrome, identity, belonging, pronunciation, Irish-language education, and the emotional complexity many people feel around Gaeilge in modern Ireland.The episode also explores her bestselling book Irish History & Culture Through Language, which opens the door to Irish through history, storytelling, etymology, and everyday phrases — helping learners experience Irish not simply as a school subject, but as a living part of Irish identity and culture.This episode reminds us that Irish is not only something to study — it is something that can transform how we understand ourselves, our culture, and our place in the world.This Episode Celebrates:* The power of Irish to shape identity and belonging* The importance of accessibility in language learning* The emotional realities of learning Irish as an adult* The role of social media, culture, and community in the revival of GaeilgeIf you've ever felt like Irish “wasn't for you” — or struggled with confidence around the language — this episode will resonate deeply.Thanks for your interest in The Language Question ~ Ceist na Teangan! Subscribe for free to receive priority notification on future episodes and to access valuable Irish language learning resources.Podcast NotesFrom Longford to TG4Laura shares how she grew up in an English-speaking household in County Longford, attending English-medium schools with no family background in Irish.Despite this, she developed a love of language, grammar, and storytelling from an early age — and gradually found herself drawn towards Gaeilge.Her journey challenges the idea that there is only one “correct” background for becoming an Irish speaker.Imposter Syndrome & The Irish LanguageOne of the central themes of the episode is the emotional complexity many learners experience around Irish.Laura speaks candidly about feeling like an outsider in Irish-speaking spaces, especially when studying through Irish at third level alongside native speakers and Gaelscoil students.Together, Finghin and Laura explore:* The social pressures surrounding Irish in Ireland* Feelings of inadequacy that many learners carry* The myth of the “perfect Irish speaker.”* Why there is no one-size-fits-all Irish language journeyThe conversation highlights how deeply identity and language are intertwined in Ireland.

Subscribe for free to receive priority notification on future episodes and to access valuable Irish language learning resources.Discovering Irish as a Living LanguageA transformative moment for Laura came during her teaching placement in the Gaeltacht in Lettermore, Connemara.Living with an Irish-speaking family showed her that Irish was not simply an academic subject — but a vibrant, living language connected to humour, relationships, community, and everyday life.This experience changed her relationship with Gaeilge completely and helped her see Irish as something joyful, social, and emotionally alive.Irish Pronunciation, Sound & MusicalityLaura speaks passionately about the importance of pronunciation and sound in Irish language learning.She reflects on how many learners are never properly introduced to the sounds and musicality of Gaeilge — something that can create unnecessary barriers and insecurity.The episode explores:* Why Irish sounds different from English* Broad and slender consonants* The rhythm and musicality of Gaeilge* Why pronunciation matters for confidence and connectionLaura explains how understanding these patterns transformed her own learning journey.Writing Irish History & Culture Through LanguageLaura discusses the experience of writing her bestselling book:Irish History & Culture Through LanguageThe book emerged from her work online, creating Irish language content, and aims to provide learners with an accessible entry point into Gaeilge through:* Irish history* Everyday phrases* Hiberno-English* Etymology* Folklore and culture* Irish ways of thinking and seeing the worldRather than focusing only on grammar rules, the book invites readers to experience Irish as something living, practical, and culturally rich.Finghin describes it as:“A modern-day Béaloideas for learners.”Gaeilge, Culture & “Having a Moment”Laura reflects on the growing visibility of Irish in music, media, fashion, film, and social media.Together, Finghin and Laura discuss:* Whether Irish is truly experiencing a revival* The impact of creators and artists using Gaeilge publicly* The relationship between Irish identity and language* The importance of making Irish visible and socially relevantLaura also speaks thoughtfully about the concerns of Gaeltacht communities and the need to support Irish-speaking areas practically — especially around housing and sustainability.Why Irish MattersAs the conversation draws to a close, Laura reflects on how deeply Irish has shaped her life.She describes Gaeilge as:* Her “first love.”* A source of belonging and purpose* A way of understanding Ireland differently* A language that feels alive, warm, and deeply humanThe episode ends with a powerful reflection on how Irish can become not just a language we learn, but a presence in our lives.Free Irish Learning ResourcesIf you enjoyed this episode of The Language Question ~ Ceist na Teangan and want to continue your Irish language journey:Access free Irish learning resources, stay updated on upcoming episodes, and receive exclusive content.Sign up here:Free ResourcesThe Language Question ~ Ceist na Teangan Free ResourcesYou can also follow my writing on Substack:Thanks for reading The Language Question ~ Ceist na Teangan!

Eoin Warner, láitheoir Wild Connemara ag labhairt faoin gclár a bhéas ar RTÉ Dé Domhnaigh.

From basking sharks off the Atlantic coast to red deer roaming beneath the Twelve Bens, wildlife presenter Eoin Warner takes us deep into the hidden worlds of Connemara.

Connemara's Cora Keane is set to make history in June 2026 as she is set to become the club's first female boxer to represent Ireland at the Four Nations event with champions from Scotland, England and Wales at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell from June 11th-14th. Cora will in the under-15 squad with Olympic duo Edward C. Ward and John Paul Ward and their team is managed by Monivea's Gabe Connelly.  Dominik Barrett (Titans), Lacey Shaughnessy (Monivea) and Eddie Sweeney (Galway) are with the under-17 team that includes Monivea's Gus Farrell in their coaching set-up.

Legend of the Irish music scene Damien Dempsey joined us for a sing song this week. In between songs, we talked about the resurgence in Gaelic culture among young Irish people and how important the old ballads have been to him since he was a young child. He told us how music kept him connected to his father after his passing and opened up his spirituality, and his visions of flying over Connemara on an eagles back…We learned how he ended up performing at a prison in The Phillipines, he told us about a music session so good it made Bruce Springsteen miss a flight, and explained why in spite of his cult following Damo doesn't consider himself famous, or even want fame.

Send us Fan MailWe've all heard the legend: 1588, the Spanish Armada wrecked off the coast of Galway, and Andalusian horses swimming ashore to forge the Connemara pony we know today. It's a beautiful story—but is it fact, or is it just the world's most successful marketing myth?In this episode of Connemara Pony Tales, we go "Into the Lab" with one of the world's leading equine geneticists, Dr. Samantha Brooks from the University of Florida.We move beyond the folklore to analyse the actual genomic map of the Connemara. We're putting the breed's biggest mysteries under the microscope, tackling 500 years of history and the future of the breed in one sitting.In this episode, we explore:The Ancestry Audit: Does the DNA actually show Spanish influence, or is the Connemara a "time capsule" of an even older, indigenous Irish pony?The Pony Paradox: Why does a 14.2hh mare produce a 15.1hh foal? Dr. Brooks breaks down the "growth switches" that are changing the size of our breed.The "Easy Keeper" Trap: Is the legendary hardiness that allowed our ponies to survive on the bogs now making them prone to modern metabolic crises?The Future of the Breed: Beyond HWSD—what is the next frontier of testing, and how do we protect the Connemara's famous temperament in a world demanding "Sport Horse" performance?Whether you are a traditionalist breeder or a modern performance enthusiast, this episode is a must-listen. The legends are beautiful, but the DNA tells the real story.This episode was made possible with the support of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.Support the showhttps://www.facebook.com/ConnemaraPonyWorld

Send us Fan MailIn this thought-provoking episode of Connemara Pony Tales, host Lucinda Kelly tackles one of the most polarising debates in the native pony world today. As the Connemara pony gains unprecedented global popularity, is its rugged, versatile heritage being sacrificed at the altar of "show ring" aesthetics?We are joined by an esteemed panel of experts to dissect the shift toward the "designer" show pony:Vanessa Compton: Renowned UK producer and rider who made history with her Olympia Supreme Champion, Castle Comet. Vanessa brings an expert eye on what it takes to win at the highest level of showing.Joe Burke: Experienced breeder and producer with a deep understanding of the breed's functional history and performance capabilities.Bridget Lee: From the famed Clover Hill Connemaras, sharing her multi-generational perspective on breeding for substance, type, and the traditional Connemara spirit.Together, we explore whether the modern demand for refined looks is diluting the hardiness and "bone" that made the Connemara a world-class athlete. Are we breeding away the very soul of the pony to win a red rosette?Whether you are a breeder, judge, or enthusiast, this is a deep dive into the future of Ireland's native pony.Host: Lucinda Kelly Production: Lucinda Kelly Post-Production & Editing: Pam ClinganThis series is part-funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine under the Equine Technical Support (ETS) Scheme.Join the conversation: Follow us on Facebook: Connemara Pony Worldhttps://www.facebook.com/ConnemaraPonyWorld

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we go to one of our favourite places in Dublin, Hodges Figgis bookshop in Dawson Street, to interview Cathy Galvin on the occasion of the launch of her collection of poems from Bloodaxe, Ethnology, A Love Song for Connemara. We also meet and hear poet John F. Deane, who spoke about Cathy's book and read some of his own recently published Carcanet collection, Jonah and Me, a Poetry Society Recommendation. from Bloodaxe: Ethnology draws on the mystical cry for the dead of Cathy Galvin's Irish-speaking ancestors. Within an epic narrative she reclaims place, people and language, creating a bridge between our own times and a Connemara community on the margins of Europe. Drawing on classic forms within literary and oral traditions, Ethnology becomes a love song for Connemara, witness to vivid encounters: between the living and the dead and between the poets, folklorists and ethnologists who have written about the West of Ireland for their own agendas.In her first full-length book of poetry, fragility and strength are finely balanced, focused on the ruins of an island cottage built by her great-grandfather. Here, Cathy Galvin locates humour and joy as well as mourning. The poems give a vivid, original voice to the tradition of keening, of honouring the loss of those we love.from CarcanetJohn F. Deane's new book follows the publication of his career-spanning  New and Selected Poems, which was published on the occasion of his eightieth birthday in 2023 and shows no relaxation in his descriptive and lyric powers.Ireland's foremost living religious poet, the new book includes a sequence, 'Of Human Flesh', which takes Easter's rituals as its occasion, and dwells on its continuing purchase and meaning as the poet remembers others and walks a landscape where, sometimes, as he puts it, the spiritual and material worlds come together:'all here fits  together, oxbow and pillow-stone, holon and fractal,  stunning, admonishing, this morphogenic field.'This episode is supported by a Project Award from the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon. Intro/outro music: Colm Mac Con Iomaire, 'Thou Shalt Not Carry' from The Hare's Corner, 2008, with thanks to Colm for permission to use it. Logo designed by Freya Sirr.Support the show

Group tours are one of the most popular ways to experience Ireland – especially for travelers who want to see a lot without worrying about driving, directions, or logistics. Nearly half of overseas visitors explore Ireland this way, which means coaches crisscross the island daily, bringing travelers to castles, coastlines, and charming towns. But what is it actually like to travel around Ireland on a coach tour? And how do you make sure the tour you choose matches the experience you want? This National Secondary road to the Cliffs of Moher is just wide enough for tour buses to squeeze past each other. This article is based on podcast episode 329 featuring Clodagh FitzGerald, a professional tour guide in Ireland.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. [powerpoint] Group Tours in Ireland: How Coach Travel Works Professional tour guide Clodagh Fitzgerald spends her days leading travelers around Ireland, and she describes the role as wearing many hats. A guide becomes the storyteller, problem solver, travel advisor, and sometimes even the group timekeeper. Each tour follows a planned itinerary, and the guide's job is to help travelers understand what they're seeing along the way – sharing history, culture, geography, and the little details that make Ireland special. For travelers, the biggest benefit is simple: someone else handles the logistics. Typical coach tours include: Transportation across Ireland A knowledgeable guide providing commentary Pre-booked accommodations Select included attractions Some scheduled meals Planned sightseeing stops Instead of worrying about navigation or parking, travelers can simply enjoy the journey. How to Choose the Right Group Tour in Ireland Not all tours are created equal. Before booking, it's important to carefully review the itinerary and details. A few things experienced guides recommend travelers check: Length of the Tour Consider how much time you actually want to spend in Ireland. If you're traveling from North America, it's wise to arrive at least one day before the tour begins to recover from jet lag and adjust to the time difference. Starting a tour the same day you land can mean spending the first day tired, disoriented, and missing out on the experience. What Is Included (and What Isn't) Tour itineraries often use wording like “see” or “visit.” Those two words can mean very different things. See often means you'll drive past the attraction. Visit usually means the group will stop and go inside. Reading the itinerary carefully helps avoid disappointment later. Hotel Locations Some tours stay in city centers, while others stay outside town. Neither is wrong, but the location affects your free time. If you want to explore pubs, shops, or restaurants in the evening, staying in or near the town center makes that much easier. Built-In Free Time Even on a group tour, it's nice to explore on your own. Many itineraries include: Free evenings Independent sightseeing time Opportunities to shop or explore small towns This balance lets travelers enjoy the structure of a tour while still having personal travel moments. What to Pack for a Coach Tour in Ireland Travelers forget things on every tour, but a few items come up again and again. Some essentials to pack include: A washcloth – not all Irish hotels provide them Prescription medications (always in carry-on luggage) Familiar over-the-counter medicine you normally use Earplugs or headphones for comfort on the coach Weather layers and rain protection Ireland's weather can change quickly, even in summer. Packing for rain – no matter the forecast – is always a smart move. Understanding Group Travel Dynamics Coach tours bring together travelers from different places and backgrounds. That's part of the fun, but it also means being mindful of the group. A few simple habits make the experience smoother for everyone: Be on time when the group departs Keep phone calls and music quiet on the coach Pay attention when the guide explains timing and stops Respect shared travel spaces Tours run on schedules, and if one person is late, the entire group may be affected. But the flip side of traveling together is the camaraderie that often develops. By the end of a tour, many travelers have formed friendships, shared photos, and even planned future trips together. Three Places Travelers Wish They Had More Time When tours move quickly, certain destinations leave visitors wishing they could stay longer. These three locations consistently top the list. Kilkenny Often called Ireland's medieval capital, Kilkenny is packed with winding streets, historic buildings, and excellent local shops. Many tours stop for only a short visit to see Kilkenny Castle, but the town rewards travelers who slow down and explore. Things to see and do: Tour Kilkenny Castle Walk the Medieval Mile Visit St. Canice's Cathedral Browse artisan shops and cafés Dingle Located on the spectacular Dingle Peninsula, this colorful harbor town is full of personality. Many tours visit as a quick stop during a scenic drive, but travelers often wish they had more time to enjoy the town itself. Highlights include: Traditional music pubs Boat tours in Dingle Bay The Dingle Distillery Walking along the harbor It's a place where spending the evening, rather than just an hour, can completely change the experience. Kylemore Abbey Set against the dramatic landscape of Connemara, Kylemore Abbey is far more than just a quick photo stop. The estate includes: The Victorian walled gardens Woodland and lakeside walks The Gothic church The abbey itself While some tours allow only a short visit, travelers often say they could easily spend an entire day exploring the grounds.

Their work encourages adults learning Irish to rediscover the language through storytelling, books and shared reading experiences.Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the emotional resonance of Irish words tied to landscapes, family history and local traditions, reminding us that Irish is not simply a school subject but a living language connected to culture and belonging.This episode explores:The power of storytelling in the Irish languageHow reading can accelerate language learningThe role of community in sustaining and revitalising GaeilgeIf you are learning Irish as an adult or reconnecting with the language later in life, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical insight.Podcast NotesRediscovering Irish Through ReadingPatricia Nic Eoin and Joe Ó Fátharta discuss the origins of the Listen Up Irish Reading Challenge, created to give learners a welcoming space to experience Irish language literature in an accessible way.Their approach encourages readers to explore modern Irish writing, moving beyond classroom learning into real, living language.Language, Landscape and BelongingPatricia describes the joy she feels when rediscovering Irish words associated with the fields and landscapes where she grew up.Collecting old place-names, expressions and family vocabulary creates a powerful sense of continuity with previous generations. For many learners, Irish becomes a way of reconnecting with heritage and place.Passing on the Joy of GaeilgePatricia speaks about the excitement — even “giddiness” — that comes from uncovering forgotten Irish words.Through her teaching and her work with Listen Up Irish, she hopes to pass that same sense of discovery to learners who may not have grown up speaking the language but feel drawn to it.Community and Shared LearningJoe Ó Fátharta reflects on the importance of community in Irish language learning.Initiatives like Listen Up Irish allow learners to read, discuss and enjoy Irish texts together, transforming the language into something lived and shared rather than simply studied.Opening the Door to Irish LiteratureThe episode highlights the richness of contemporary Irish-language writing. While many associate Irish literature with historical texts, there is today a vibrant and growing community of modern writers and readers working in Gaeilge.Reading Irish literature strengthens language skills while also deepening understanding of Ireland's cultural and literary traditions.Master Irish — One Story at a TimeA Three-Week Immersive Irish ChallengeThe Listen Up Irish team are launching a three-week immersive challenge for adult learners, designed to help participants build confidence reading, listening and thinking in Irish through story.Maybe you've started learning Irish before —read a few chapters or downloaded an app —and then lost momentum.This challenge is designed to help you keep going and finish.The Story: Ó Am go hAmDuring the challenge, participants will read Ó Am go hAm (From Time to Time) — a historical story set during a Viking raid on an Irish monastery in the 8th century.Through the story, you'll explore the world of monks, manuscripts and Viking invasions, while experiencing Irish used naturally in context.Originally written for younger readers, the book works beautifully for adult learners, offering accessible but authentic Irish.Participants receive:Guided audio recordingsKey vocabulary supportA clear structure to stay motivatedThis approach allows learners to experience real storytelling — living Irish on the page, not textbook Irish.Early Bird Pricing available until March 12Register here:Early Bird PriceFree Irish Learning ResourcesIf you enjoyed this episode and want to continue your Irish language journey, you can access free Irish learning resources, receive updates on upcoming episodes, and get exclusive content.Sign up here: ResourcesYou can also follow my writing on Substack:SubstackMore on Patricia Nic Eoin & Joe Ó FáthartaPatricia Nic EoinPatricia Nic Eoin is an Irish language teacher, author and advocate for adult Irish learners.She is the founder of All About Irish, an online platform that teaches people to speak Irish (Gaeilge) through live online classes, with programmes for learners from complete beginners to advanced speakers.Patricia is also the co-founder of Listen Up Irish, a reading challenge created with Joe Ó Fátharta to bring learners and fluent speakers together through Irish literature.Learn more: WebsiteInstagram: InstagramJoe Ó FáthartaJoe Ó Fátharta is a journalist, writer, Irish language advocate and lecturer from Connemara.He teaches Irish at Dublin City University (DCU) and has long been involved in promoting Irish language culture through journalism, media and education.

In June 2025, when 78-year-old Sonia ‘Sunny' Jacobs, along with her carer Kevin Kelly (31) died in a house fire at the Connemara home she called her “sanctuary", it seemed like a tragically ironic end for a celebrated activist. But Jacobs was no stranger to life's juxtapositions. The well-liked and peaceful woman spent five years on death row in the US before her conviction over the murder of two police officers in Florida in 1976 was overturned after procedural errors were identified. Now, as a Florida inmate speaks out about the circumstances leading to her incarceration, we ask who was the real Sunny Jacobs?

Broadcasting from London (while Ireland slowly sinks into the sea), Darragh reports back from the British Museum's stunning Samurai exhibition — from 12th-century armour to pop culture dominance… culminating in the original 1977 Darth Vader costume. Back on the gaming front, Kev dives into The Séance of Blake Manor, a brilliantly designed Irish mystery set in 1890s Connemara that blends spiritualism, folklore, and detective work. Then things level up as both lads gush over Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, possibly the best Indiana Jones story in 20 years. Punching Nazis, Vatican conspiracies, and actually feeling like Indy? It exists. Somehow. And finall we descend into fog, with a brutal verdict on Return to Silent Hill, a shot-for-shot adaptation that completely misses the point of Silent Hill 2. A packed episode about history, adaptation, jank, redemption arcs, and why some remakes understand the assignment… and others absolutely do not.

So many of us are waiting for a permission slip to do something different and follow our inner guidance – especially when it seems ‘of course'.  In this week's episode, I sit down with Brooke Sheehan, an intuitive life coach who made the decision to follow her own arrow and step into the world of the mystical and spirit. Brooke shares her journey of learning to trust signs from the universe, connect with spirit guides, and speak her truth with courage.   This is more than a story — it's an invitation to remember your own inner wisdom, and the power of following your soul's guidance, whatever that might be. If Brooke's story stirs something in you, perhaps it's your time. ✨ {Lucky} Cohort 13 of the Intuitive Life Designer® Coach Academy begins Sept 24 — a sacred space to awaken your gifts, deepen your intuition, and step into the magic of soul-led coaching.
