Send us a textMy guest on this week's episode of Thrive Solo is the wonderful Cindy Sheehan.In 2016, Cindy was a married Mum of four when she took a leave of absence from her office job in Colorado and joined two friends to go backpacking on The Kerry Way in Ireland. Little did she know at the time that that trip would be the beginning of a brand new life. By the end of 2017, she had quit both her job and her marriage to become a full-time traveller, and she has since travelled to nearly 50 countries. Cindy has settled in Palermo, Sicily for now, although who knows where life might take her next. Now while she lives a largely solo life, Cindy has a French, paraglider boyfriend — otherwise known as The Frenchman — who lives in France, and although the two of them spend more time apart than they do together, they meet when they can for travelling adventures. I know that you will love hearing all about Cindy's solo life and travels. In this conversation she shares her transformative experience of leaving a 30-year marriage to travel the world, settling temporarily in various countries, and eventually obtaining an EU passport through Italian ancestry. She talks about the unique relationship dynamics with her French partner, the challenges and rewards of solo travel, and the profound sense of freedom it brings. Tune in for inspirational stories, advice on overcoming fears, and a celebration of living a joyful, independent life.04:54 Cindy's Life Transformation11:47 The Decision to Leave a 30-Year Marriage14:35 Support from Family and Solo Travels17:03 Meeting the Frenchman: A Unique Relationship23:49 The Joys and Challenges of Solo Travel28:39 Making Connections While Traveling31:13 Multi-Generational Friendships32:11 The Joys of Solo Travel34:44 Memorable Travel Destinations36:40 Settling in Europe: Portugal and Sicily37:29 Navigating EU Residency and Citizenship44:39 Living in Palermo, Sicily48:29 Overcoming Solo Travel Fears54:07 Thriving Solo: Tips and Reflections57:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow Cindy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/postsfromaflashpacker/Check out Cindy's website: https://postsfromaflashpacker.com/Support the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

On this episode of Wild & Uncut, we're at the 2025 SCI Convention in Nashville, TN sitting down with Madison Sheahan (at the time of recording was Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries) and Maria Davison the Large Carnivore Program Manager for the SCI Foundation. We had a great discussion about an incredible conservation success story that has transpired due to the hard work of many groups and individuals, in the state of Louisiana. The season marked an end to a ban that had been in place since the late 1980s. The Louisiana bear population has rebounded thanks to conservation efforts, leading the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to re-establish a limited, lottery-based season with 11 permits issued to hunters.

In January 2021, workers clearing the abandoned railroad between Midleton and Youghal made a startling discovery. Along the track lay the skeletal remains of a woman left undiscovered for many years. Many questioned whether they had anything to do with the ongoing Tina Satchwell investigation. Despite a five-year investigation and a comparison of the skeleton's DNA against the national DNA database, detectives have not been able to confirm her identity. Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Ralph Riegel, Southern Correspondent with the Irish independent, to explore the strange case of the mysterious railway line remains.

Twenty-five years ago, as a long summer drew to a close, a night out ended in tragedy. It changed the lives of four young men forever, ending another's far too soon. It happened in an unlikely place, the leafy, affluent suburb of Donnybrook in south Dublin. A fight broke out among a group of young men outside Anabel's nightclub. When it was over, 18-year-old Brian Murphy lay on the ground. Hours later, he was pronounced dead. What followed wasn't just a murder investigation - it was a case that exposed a deep divide in Irish society.

This week on The Indo Daily we are looking back at some of our best investigative episodes from 2025 so far. Today's episode was first released on May 6th 2025; The rise and fall of Glen Ward – the gangster known as ‘Mr Flashy', has played out in less than a decade. Earlier this summer Ward was given a five and a half year sentence while his brother Eric was previously jailed for five years. Because of the threat to his safety, Ward has been held on a 23.5 hour lock-up, while the address of the prison also cannot be published. However, gardaí have no doubt that they have not seen the last of the 32-year-old criminal, who is due to be released from prison while still in his mid-30s. By mid-2016 Glen Ward took the reins of the crime group which became known as the ‘Gucci Gang' because of their taste for expensive clothing and jewellery. Ward was no exception to this and was given the nickname ‘Mr Flashy'. Host; Fionnán Sheahan, Guest; Robin Schiller See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on The Indo Daily we are looking back at some of our best investigative episodes from 2025 so far. Today's episode was first released on April 8th 2025; Earlier this year a spy trail of secret messages, codewords and a phone smashed with an axe unfolded in front of the High Court in an extraordinary tale of alleged corporate espionage. The story of Dublin man Keith O'Brien made international headlines when his employer, a major US HR services firm, set a “trap” to identify how confidential information was being leaked – and the saga is not over yet. His 13-page confession was read to the High Court in April, where he told how he spied on his multinational employer for a rival for a fee of over €5,000 month. That is, until he was caught.
