CW: addiction, childhood poverty, sexual assaultNo person has been suggested more for this podcast than Dr. Katriona O'Sullivan, so she immediately came to mind when I was considering who I'd like to speak to for these extended episodes over Christmas. Katriona is an award-winning professor whose memoir Poor was published this year and went on to recently win two Irish Book Awards.Poor tells the story of Katriona's experience of growing up in poverty with two addicted parents. She writes in an open and unflinching manner about the challenges she faced, the power of self-belief and also offers real insight into how society can best support people who are at a disadvantage from the get-go.While Katriona experienced many challenges I did not, there are some parallels between our early childhoods which made reading her book a profound experience for me, and also fed into this episode which is less of an interview and more of a conversation. I hope you'll forgive my tears. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We live in an unequal society, one that doesn't support or protect our most vulnerable and marginalised people. We can have all of the mental health programmes and motivational talks we want, but if people's most basic needs aren't being met how can we expect them to survive, never mind thrive?  Niall is joined by Katriona O'Sullivan, a Doctor of Psychology and Senior Lecturer who grew up in deep poverty. Having endured abuse, addicted parents, a teenage pregnancy, homelessness and a society that told her she would never amount to anything, it was education that changed Katriona's life. She explains how education opened her eyes to the inequalities in the world, why virtue signalling with poor people is just not good enough and what real, impactful ways we can begin to level the playing field and create real change for those living in poverty.  This episode deals with some difficult topics, please take care when listening.  Tickets for the Where Is My Mind? live tour: https://linktr.ee/bressie  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Richie first met Dr Katriona O'Sullivan - an academic in Maynooth University's Department of Psychology - about seven years ago but at the time, he had no idea about her backstory: a childhood spent in extreme poverty in England as part of an Irish family in which both her parents suffered from long-term addiction issues.Despite being surrounded by adults and structures which continuously failed her, Katriona enrolled in Trinity College aged 23 and forged an academic career while raising her young family. She chats to Richie from her home in Dublin about the empathy she brings to speaking about her parents, how confiding in the people you're supposed to trust as a child brings no guarantee of safety, and how no one can lift themselves out of poverty without a system that's designed to help them do it.Earlier this year, Katriona published a bestselling memoir, ‘Poor', laying out her incredible story in unflinching detail, a memoir which has now received two Irish Book Award nominations.
