The Other Stuff
Hands up, there’s one thing that I’m truly awful at – resting! On top of running my own business, raising two children, being a wife and ‘Medical Mum’, I also write about life as a medical family and am the Parent Liaison for CF families attending Temple Street Children’s University Hospital. I’ve been a tutor on the Degree in Journalism in Coláiste Dhúlaigh, a speaker at The Future Conference and I support CF Ireland whenever I can. This support has included volunteering in Malin2Mizen 2016, writing articles for Spectrum and MyKidsTime amongst others, and also liaising in their ‘Fight to Breathe’ campaign, created by the Cannes Young Lion Winners in Rothco. Not forgetting a few fundraisers with my ladies ‘Eva’s Divas’ for good measure – the Mini Marathon, Head2Head Walk and 65 Roses Day collections.

The M Word
I’ve written many articles for The M Word – ‘Calling Bullshit on…Special Children Are Only Sent to Special Parents’ went viral, bouncing around the world and back again, with over 21,000 shares from its original posting on their website.
The Future
Here are a few pics from my talk at The Future in the RDS in 2017. It was called ‘Stepping Up’, a discussion around how I felt my stepping out of the workplace was actually me stepping up to something much bigger and more important. All too often, women (and particularly mothers) are afraid to look sideways let alone step sideways after they have children, for fear that they will lose their place on the ladder. It’s bullshit that we are made to feel this way – I promise you that mothers are the most efficient, hard-working species on the planet. Mother up, if you have any sense!

I’m so proud to have featured in the wonderful project that is Humans of Dublin. Here’s my piece…
Fight to Breathe
Every moment is an opportunity to raise awareness. With that in mind, here’s the Fight to Breathe cinema commercial created by the Cannes Young Lion winners in ROTHCO…
MummyPages Voices
I’m also a writer for MummyPages Voices. Although in truth I’ve yet to find time to properly embrace this particular opportunity. However, I’ve made a start with an article called Yoga Your Brain Sane if you fancy a read.
