Blessing Dada

In this episode I chat with Blessing Dada. Blessing is a student in Youth & Community Development at Technological University Dublin.

She is also involved in organisations such as SpunOut and See Change. I enjoyed our conversation so much. As a young Black Irish/Nigerian woman, her lived experiences are vital to understanding the lack of supports for people of colour here in Ireland in the world of mental health. As a therapist, I learned a lot during our chat about inclusivity and the importance of stepping outside my own privilege. 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.
