In this episode I chat with Heather Condren, a florist and former social care worker who started Flowerpop after she won a scholarship from Kay's Flower School in Dublin. She lives and works in Inchicore in Dublin with her husband and two-year-old son. In the absolute shit storm that is COVID there have been some bright bits and Heathers is one of them. A pandemic will force reassessment of a lot of things and Heather found her love of flowers led her to a brand new florist business that is taking Dublin by storm. She tells us all about her journey, her fears, imposter syndrome and how she managed to push through all of it to create Flowerpop. I simply adore Heathers strength and love of what she does and I eagerly await Flowerpop delivery to Cork! Enjoy x

in this episode I speak with Morgan Livingstone, Canadian Child Life Specialist, Child lIfe Officer of WEChope and one of my very best friends. Mo chats all about her work as a child life specialist, her passion about the amazing abilities of kids facing illness, trauma, end of life and loss and how to speak to your kids about their feelings during COVID. We cry, we laugh and we could have spoken for hours. If you have kids I highly recommend listening to Morgans experience and wisdom when it comes to little people and their feelings. Enjoy x

Welcome back to season 3. I was not planning to do more episodes but thanks to the guest on todays episode here we are! I speak with Sian Horn, Entrepreneur, founder of multiple companies including The Club, business support and learning network for women in business. Motivator, speaker and podcaster of BeBelle podcast. We packed a lot into our 40 mins. Sian shared her love of empowerment and supporting women and where that love came from. Managing her own business through lockdown, missing family and a whole load of insight into her world. We also tackled online toxic groups and how we wish they didn't exist. Sian was the one who encouraged me to do season 3 of My Yellow Couch and I am so glad that she did. It was lovely to begin the season with her as my guest. Enjoy.
