HAPPY CHRISTMAS! This month we spoke to Molly Cantwell about her charity cover of ‘River' which was released on Wednesday the 20th of December in aid of GCN (Gay Community News), in memory of her late friend Joe Drennan who was killed this year in a hit-and-run incident in Limerick. We also chatted about her time dressing as a medieval lady to sing at banquets in Knappogue and Bunratty, her work in journalism, and some hidden talents that she has not adequately exploited recently. Molly Cantwell is a 25-year-old Irish/Valenciano/Madeiran queer multimedia journalist and student at the University of Limerick - as well as an award-winning shower singer to-be. Currently sitting as managing editor of Limerick Voice and editor-in-chief of An Focal, Molly is passionate about platforming human rights and equality stories as well as writing about music, arts and culture, news, politics, and much more. She freelances for Hot Press and Overblown, with previous work in The Clare Echo, GCN, The Irish Examiner, The Limerick Leader, and more. During her time as a student in Limerick College of Further Education (2018 - 2020), Molly solo-produced and created her National Student Media Award nominated radio documentary “Cyber Killer - Qu'est - Ce Que C'est?”. In 2022, Molly also sat as editor-in-chief of CURIOUS - a UL magazine created by second year students. She has been nominated for the Smedias eight times - winning two of these categories. Molly has already lived another lifetime as a professional entertainer with Shannon Heritage, which she thoroughly enjoyed, but she is excited to finish college in 2024 and get her journalism career properly started. She is inspired by the dedicated work of her colleagues at Hot Press and female journalists like Zara King, Sarah McInerney, Claire Byrne, Louise McSharry, Aoife Moore, and more.

Zara King is a News Correspondent with Virgin Media Television, Ireland. The 33-year-old has been at the forefront of the channel's coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic for the past two years, with thousands of viewers welcoming Zara into their home every evening as she reports live from the Department of Health. Her style of storytelling is focused on how Government policy affects people's lives. For that reason, Zara has become a trusted voice during an uncertain time, probing key decision-makers on issues that matter most to individuals and families nationwide. With more than a hundred thousand online followers, Zara is among a new generation of News Journalists who are readily available and easily accessible to viewers to hear their questions and find them answers. Her journalism expands beyond the evening news, with two documentaries and a no.1 podcast series released in the last twelve months. Born in Cork and raised in Waterford, Zara now lives in Dublin, Ireland. Today, Zara joins me to talk about talk about what drew her into journalism. She explains how she makes peace with the things that don't work out for her and shares what makes her happy. She speaks on turning off the inner critic, noting that, if you spoke to others the way you speak to yourself, you probably wouldn't have many friends. She shares how she sees leadership and explains why she avoids putting anyone on a pedestal. She talks about how she performs best under pressure, and she notes the power of taking Sundays off. We talk about the difference between acute and chronic stress, discuss sleep hygiene, and emphasize the power of 5-minute walking breaks. She shares advice for aspiring journalists, urges you to choose happiness right now, and notes that, when you create positivity, you get it back. “Say yes to opportunities and figure out later how you're actually gonna do them.” - Zara King This week on In the Doctor's Chair Accepting things that don't work out Turning down the inner critic How Zara sees leadership Why it's not fair to put people on pedestals Using Sunday to relax Sleep hygiene Advice for aspiring young journalists The power of phone calls over messaging Optimism as the oxygen of opportunity Resources Mentioned: Mark Rowe's Self-Development Club In the Doctor's Chair Thanks for listening to In the Doctor's Chair, the show where you'll hear conversations that share life lessons, health habits, and leadership practices that focus on positive psychology, lifestyle medicine, and ways for you to live with more vitality.
