In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Karen Kruger, a mother of three, coach, and breast cancer survivor who shares her deeply personal journey of resilience, vulnerability, and hope. Karen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2021. What was initially believed to be stage 1 was later revealed to be stage 3, leading to a full mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. Beyond the physical toll of treatment, Karen opens up about the emotional rollercoaster—the waiting, the uncertainty, and the feeling of powerlessness that shook her world as both a woman and a mother. She reflects on the moments of exhaustion and delirium when she still had to show up for her children, and how the unwavering support of her family, friends, and community carried her through. Karen also shares the profound impact of Purple House Cancer Support Centre in Wicklow, where she found healing, connection, and the reassurance that she was not alone. Now, four years on, Karen has transformed her experience into a source of empowerment for others. With over 20 years of coaching experience, she supports women navigating life after a cancer diagnosis, particularly through the challenges of menopause. Her work is rooted in compassion, wisdom, and a deep desire to help women reclaim their health and sense of self. This is an episode about courage, community, and finding purpose in the midst of adversity. Karen's story is a reminder that while cancer changes everything, it can also awaken a new way of living—one day at a time. Find out more about Karen's coaching, workshops and Ireland's first dedicated podcast for women that have had a cancer diagnosis and are in the menopause www.karenkrugercoaching.com This is a public episode.

The Marine Institute's Explorers Education Programme is thrilled to announce its return to schools for the 2025-2026 school year, with an expansion that will bring marine-themed education to both coastal and inland counties across Ireland. This new nationwide reach is a testament to the program's success and growing demand for ocean literacy. "This expansion marks a significant milestone for the program, which has successfully delivered marine-themed educational content for nearly two decades," said Ms. Patricia Orme, Director of Corporate Services at the Marine Institute. "The sustained success of the Explorers Education Programme is a testament to its engaging and impactful approach to teaching students about our vital marine environment and supporting teachers in creating ocean literacy in the classroom. "We are delighted to support this expansion, reaching some inland counties through interactive online workshops and the continued development of our educational resources that are available to all schools online. This underscores our commitment to ensuring all young people are engaged in valuing and understanding the ocean's influence on our lives, and our impact on the ocean," she said. Dr. Noirin Burke from the Explorers Outreach Team, who will be leading the delivery to primary schools in inland counties, is particularly enthusiastic about this new chapter. "We are super excited to see the Explorers Education Programme expand to inland counties, bringing a wave of ocean literacy across the country," Dr. Burke noted. "Having grown up in Co. Tipperary, I understand how someone who lives away from the coast can still be passionate about the shoreline and spending time at the water. With nowhere in Ireland being far from the sea, an online interactive school module is a fantastic way of connecting students to our marine heritage and identity, and we are looking forward to exploring the ocean with all the schools we meet throughout the year." In addition to the online expansion, the Explorers Programme also welcomes eight new team members to its network, that will be providing outreach delivery to coastal counties all around Ireland. Cat and David McCann will be delivering the Explorers programme in Donegal, while new team members in Kerry, Elis Martineili and Dalia Alnajar, will also be delivering a range of marine-themed projects in schools in Limerick. New team members Claire Law and Lauren Cahill-Quinn in Cork, and Lauren Minion, Brian Parle, Angeleen Leckie-James and Rianna Carroll will be delivering in other key coastal counties around Ireland. Drawing on extensive backgrounds in both marine science and the primary school curriculum, these new and existing teams will provide teachers with expertise and support for a variety of engaging class projects and seashore safaris. Explorers project modules such as Learning about Squid, Fintastic Sharks, Turtle Talk with Sea Turtles, as well as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Deep-sea Species, are some of the favourite modules delivered by the team, with new content being launched throughout the next couple of months. The coastal teams will also offer hands-on experiences, from seashore adventures to bringing the seashore to the classroom with aquarium modules, also being extended in counties in Dublin and Wicklow. For further enquiries about making bookings with the Explorers team, please visit www.explorers.ie or make enquiries at: http://bit.ly/3HQMXA0. The Explorers Education Programme is funded by the Marine Institute and managed by Camden Education and Galway Atlantaquaria. The teams delivering the program include Galway Atlantaquaria, The Sea Collective, Leave No Trace - Ireland, Sea Synergy, Old Cork Waterworks Experience, Oceanics Surf School, and Seashorekids.

With her second child, Cian, she underwent a home birth but faced challenges with sleep training and medical issues. For her third child Seán, a c-section was necessary due to prior medical complications, and she experienced reflux issues. Jill reflects on her struggles with wanting to conceive a fourth child while breastfeeding and how modifying her feeding schedule meant she finally achieved pregnancy while continuing to breastfeed her third child. My new picture book on how breastfeeding journeys end, The Story of Jessie's Milkies, is available from Amazon here -  The Story of Jessie's Milkies.

He has been living in São Paulo, Brazil, since 2000, where he works as a translator of fiction, non-fiction and film scripts from Portuguese. In addition to short stories and poems, he published the children's book O Lago Secou (Companhia das Letrinhas, Brazil, 2013) and the novel Hibernaculum (Out Of This World Press, USA, 2023). He is a member of the Old Scratch Press short-form collective.This Podcast talks primarily about his new book Jonahs Map of the Whale and other poems which is described as "Dive into the mythic in Jonah's Map of the Whale and Other Poems, a daring and dazzling collection from Anthony Doyle (author of Hibernaculum). In the submerged world of Flounder- part everyman, part flatfish-shipwrecked longing, philosophical wit, and lyrical precision converge.Doyle's sea-born metaphors shimmer with heartbreak, absurdity, and revelation across the tide pools of memory and myth.

Today's Indo Daily comes from one of our sister podcasts, Under The Grill. The actor and viral comedian Peter McGann joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the Under the Grill kitchen to chat about his favourite dish of all time, pre-show nerves and his part in Sky Atlantic's Small Town, Big Story, which was written and directed by Chris O'Dowd. Wicklow-born Peter says: “Those jokes like ‘I came home, I was so drunk, I put the rashers in the toaster', that slap stuff is mostly gone from the comedy stage.” The dad-of-one adds: “My dish of choice is a seafood chowder in a sourdough bowl because it brings me back it to the best summer of my life. It's just delicious. I love seafood of any kind. “I was in college in Galway one summer and I was chasing a girl, who is now my wife, and there used to be a stall in Galway selling seafood chowder in a bread bowl. It brings back such good memories.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are people so opposed to the term "rewilding" when it can inspire action for nature restoration? How can we communicate conservation issues without alienating the very people we need to reach? And what happens when a creative professional decides to transform four fields in Wicklow into a biodiversity haven while documenting every step for others to follow?In this outdoor episode, we sit down with Jack Morley in his rewilding project in Wicklow to explore these questions and more. Jack brings a fresh perspective to nature communication, drawing on his background in advertising and film to reach audiences beyond the usual conservation choir. He's passionate about positive messaging, believing that doom and gloom narratives only preach to the converted whilst switching off those who could become tomorrow's nature champions. His approach focuses on inspiration rather than education, using enthusiasm and accessible language to engage people who might not even realise they care about Irish wildlife.Jack's land showcases remarkable habitat diversity across just five acres - from native woodland plantations using both traditional and Miyawaki methods, to wildflower meadows that proved more challenging than expected. He's creating wetlands, managing microhabitats with log piles and standing deadwood, and dealing with the realities of river water quality changes. The conversation reveals the practical challenges of habitat creation, from Yorkshire fog domination in meadows to the ongoing debate about active management versus natural regeneration. Jack's documentation of "Ireland's Nature Heroes" on social media highlights the groundswell of conservation work happening across the country, work that often goes unnoticed but deserves celebration.Further reading:Rewilding an old Irish farm | FULL TOURSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

A new analysis of the supply and demand of GPs has warned of capacity constraints in areas of growing population in Dublin and its commuter towns in Cavan, Meath, Kildare, Louth, Westmeath and Wicklow. The paper 'General Practice in Ireland: An analysis of Supply and Demand' was published and produced by the Government's Economic and Evaluation Service at the Department of Health. The study identified 3,262 clinically active GPs in service in 2022. It found that 13% of GPs work at least 48 hours a week. It said that the workforce of GPs and GP practice nurses provide a reasonable level of coverage nationally, but some geographic areas have clear capacity constraints, often in areas of growing and ageing population. The paper also says that GP retirements in some areas of Clare, Mayo, Wexford, and other areas, put services at risk where there is no viable replacement of GPs. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Dr Michael Kelleher, Lahinch-based GP and IMO GP Committee Member.

In 1800, in the wake of the 1798 Rebellion, the British military began construction of the Wicklow Military Road. Designed to bring control to the so-called “bandit country” of the Wicklow Mountains, this road now winds through some of the most remote and picturesque landscapes in Ireland. Its history is as dramatic as the scenery it traverses. Built in an Ireland still reeling from insurrection, the road has, over the past two centuries, borne witness to some of the most remarkable—and often dark—chapters in our history. From disappearances during the Irish Civil War to a German war cemetery, the Wicklow Military Road is a route steeped in intrigue and untold stories.
