💙🎤 Looking for speakers for your school, workplace, organisation or upcoming event?

We're Cathal Cully and Rebecca Wilson, the couple behind Different Minds, Same Heart, an Irish awareness campaign challenging stereotypes, breaking stigmas and promoting understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity.

We're both late-diagnosed autistic adults, Rebecca also has ADHD, and we're both qualified digital marketers passionate about advocacy and making a difference.

Since launching our campaign, we've shared our story on Ireland AM, national and local radio, podcasts, at public events and through awareness initiatives.

🎤 We're available for:

• Primary and secondary schools
• Colleges and universities
• Workplaces and corporate events
• Conferences and panel discussions
• Community groups and organisations
• Disability and awareness events
• Podcasts, radio and media

💙 What can we speak about?

Autism, ADHD, late diagnosis, masking, mental health, burnout, relationships, inclusion and everyday neurodivergent life.

We bring honest conversations, personal experiences, different perspectives and plenty of humour. Our aim is to challenge misconceptions, encourage understanding and show why acceptance matters.

Whether it's a classroom, workplace or conference, we'd love the opportunity to share our experiences and connect with others.

📩 Interested in inviting us to speak?

My 2 cents for today

#prehospital #prehospitalcare #chi

I forgot to mention GP practices having access to this centralised system also. Who closely monitor children more so than our paediatrician's

Please feel free to share and maybe help bring this centalised system together.##

Dr Mary O’Kane | Are We Good Enough As Parents?

Debbie Allen and Dr. Mary O’Kane asks the question, “are we good enough as parents?”. As parents we’re often guilty of putting pressure on ourselves to be perfect, this morning Debbie and Mary remind us that it’s okay to make mistakes along the way, and there is no such thing as a perfect parent.

This week on #PerfectlyImperfectParenting, Mary is joined by Antoinette Coffey, Mindset Coach for Midlife Women.

Antoinette shares her story of losing her mum at a young age, and how that loss shaped the way she lived her life. After years of being “a high functioning mess in heels and a blazer”, she realised something had to change. She retrained as a coach and now helps capable women think differently, feel happier and stop holding themselves back.

If you’re an over-thinker, a ‘good girl’ running on empty, or a woman ready to break old patterns, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. It’s all about creating a life that feels good to you.

Tune in this Saturday from 11:0am
