Women entrepreneurs in finance and technology are being urged to 'back themselves' as applications open for the 2026 She's Next Visa Grant Programme. Empowered by Visa and aimed at closing the entrepreneurship gap in Ireland, She's Next 2026 will provide five women-owned businesses with €90,000 in business funding together with expert coaching, mentorship and additional resources to help their businesses thrive. For the first time, it also brings together some of Ireland's most respected businesswomen – Aimee Connolly (founder and CEO, Sculpted by Aimee), Breege O'Donoghue (former board member, Primark) and Gráinne Mullins (founder, Grá Chocolates) – who will provide mentorship to this year's five winners. Together with a range of Visa business supports, the winners will benefit from the experience and expertise of these exceptional business leaders, who have also been announced as judges for the 2026 She's Next programme. And, despite operating in different sectors and encountering different challenges, all three agreed on three defining factors for success: — Back yourself: Aimee Connolly said that self-belief can be the biggest hurdle to taking the next step in business. "Even the most successful businesspeople can suffer from imposter syndrome, but this is often predicated on feelings, not fact," she said. "Starting a business, dealing with challenges, setting high standards and showing genuine passion for what you are doing is proof of capability. So, recognise your capabilities and back yourself, and you'll have one less negative thing to deal with." — Seek mentorship early, not when you're struggling: Breege O'Donoghue in particular advises female founders to surround themselves with good people to accelerate growth early on, and proactively build networks before major growth periods. "Mentorship is a growth and confidence accelerator, the value of which cannot be underestimated," she said. "Build strong networks – not just within your own industry – and learn from others as you grow. But be generous and empathetic, and be willing to reciprocate by showing support to others too." — Perfection – the enemy of progress: According to Gráinne Mullins, many women wait until they feel 'ready' before pitching or applying for funding. But, says the Galway woman, if you wait until you feel 100% ready, you may never take that next step. "Perfection is the enemy of progress, and rather than wait for everything to be 'perfect', I encourage women entrepreneurs to pursue their goals with vision and focus. Taking the next step, regardless of what stage you are at in your journey, could be the difference between opportunity realised and opportunity missed." Speaking at the launch of the 2026 She's Next Programme, Ines Obtinalla, Ireland Head of Marketing at Visa, said: "While progress has been made, women entrepreneurs in Ireland are still facing barriers to funding and mentorship. Visa backs small businesses with big ambitions, and this programme will deliver the resources and expertise to power our five winners' next steps. "The advice from the mentors is clear: backing yourself isn't just a mindset, it's a catalyst for growth, and that's exactly what the She's Next programme is designed to support. We've already seen the positive impact of previous programmes, where funding and mentorship have empowered women business owners to turn ambition into action. With Visa championing their progress, businesses haven't just grown; many have scaled, innovated and created lasting impact. So, if you're ready to take the next step in your business journey, now is the time to apply." 2026 Visa She's Next – What Winners Receive Four women entrepreneurs will each receive €10,000; one overall winner will receive €50,000 All winners will receive mentoring from three of Ireland's leading businesswomen: Aimee Connolly, Breege O'Donoghue and Gráinne Mullins Individual and group pitch preparation sessions Access to ongoing supports available through Vi...

In today's episode, Trisha and I are answering two questions that I know so many of you will quietly relate to. If you've ever felt stuck in that horrible loop of not seeing progress… getting tired… reaching for coffee or chocolate… and then slowly falling off track — this one is for you. We talk about what's actually happening in those moments. Why it feels so hard to stay steady when results are slow. And how to rebuild momentum without turning on yourself or throwing everything out the window. Then we move into the teenage years. If you're working full-time, juggling drop-offs and pick-ups, watching the money fly out every month, and wondering how to stay present in it all — we talk about that too. How to catch yourself when you're reacting. How to steady the tone at home. And how to bring more calm and connection into your parenting, even when life feels relentless. As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded, compassionate psychotherapist lens — helping unpack what's happening beneath the behaviours, and how to shift from reacting to responding. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop, stretched too thin, or unsure how to move into the next phase of life with intention — this episode is for you. Click play and let's dive in.

February 2026Even amongst the distinguished ranks of WW2 codebreakers, Emily Anderson stood out. Recruited into military intelligence during WWI, her stellar career in diplomatic codebreaking lasted into the 1950s. Her greatest achievement came with the breaking of high-level Italian ciphers during the East African Campaign of 1940-41. It was called 'the perfect example of the cryptographers' war' and earned her the OBE in 1943.Anderson was also a renowned musicologist - her translations of the letters of Mozart and Beethoven are still considered authoritative. Yet until recent years, her life and intelligence work remained under the radar.This episode helps to set the record straight, and kick off a new occasional series focusing on key personalities in codebreaking and intelligence. Bletchley Park's Research Officer Dr Thomas Cheetham is joined by Jackie Uí Chionna from the University of Galway to discuss the subject of her 2023 biography Queen of Codes: The Secret Life of Emily Anderson, Britain's Greatest Female Codebreaker.Our thanks go to Sarah Langston for voicing our historical documents.The Marriage of Figaro - K. 492   CC PDM 1.0   www.classicals.de Image: © Dr. Dagmar von Bushe-Weise#BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #Enigma, #Italy, #Galway
