I recall the first ever webinar was with @patdivilly back in Sept 2021 and here I am entering season SIX!

I have been blessed to have the best of experts that Ireland has to offer in the area of emotional resilience @brianpennie78 @bressie @thepractical.psychologist @dermotwhelanofficial @drmaryryan @kathrynthomasofficial @jackkavanaghirl @claremckennapresents @the.wellness.psychologist and many more!

We have also attracted some international clients such as Dr Sarah McKay @drsarahmckay and Karen Guggenheim @karenguggenheim

I am so delighted that this series is helping so many people. It is *FREE to everybody and it has made a big difference in the lives of many. The reason I set up a webcast series as opposed to a podcast is because I want to hear from YOU!

The webinars are interactive and you have the opportunity to ask the expert questions in real time.

I will announce our first guest that is appearing on Monday, September 7 tomorrow and I can’t wait to see you there.

*Donations make this series possible and are always greatly appreciated.

Loved all the conversations with brilliant guests and contributors, the panels, the laughs and those magic moments .. made for radio ❤️

It’s been brill as always to co-present with both Colm and Katie on Drivetime, and was a buzz stepping in for both David and Brendan. Above all it’s a privilege to work with the amazing production teams working their magic everyday. Thanks for tuning in! 📻✨🙏🙌

How much of women’s exhaustion comes from the visible load, and how much comes from everything unseen?

This week on IMAGE The Check-in, @elliebalfe1 is joined by psychologist Allison Keating @thepractical.psychologist for a deeply thoughtful conversation on burnout, over-caring, people-pleasing, health anxiety and the strong link between mental and physical health.

This important conversation uncovers something especially powerful: the missing link in boundary-setting and how standing up for your own needs is possibly the most important thing we can do for ourselves.

Because boundaries are not just about us learning to say no. They are also about whether the people around us respect, support, and help uphold those boundaries.

It feels like an essential conversation for women right now.

Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, or watch on YouTube.

IMAGE The Check-in is part of the IMAGE Women’s Health Clinic and proudly empowered by @boots.ireland and sponsored by @samsungireland & @waterstoneclinicireland

AN SAOL MAR ATÁ
Bulaíocht/Bullying
📺 Tonight | ⏰ 9.30pm | TG4

Sraith faisnéise ó @tyroneproductionstv do @tg4tv

This is a three-part documentary series exploring some of the biggest challenges we’re facing as a society today; parenting, the anxiety epidemic, and bullying.
Much like @readytoberealpodcast it’s all about listening and approaching tough conversations with compassion rather than judgement.

Tonight's third and final episode looks at Bullying.
I forgot to take pics on filming days 🫠 but here are a few!
You can watch all documentaries on the TG4 player including the one made on the topic of miscarriage in 2021.

What began with the three of us, feeling deeply called to do something meaningful, has grown into a powerful community rooted in compassion, generosity, and aligned action.

In support of the @wingsforhopeproject__ “Gift of Movement campaign” our November event has raised €43,894.35 so far, already helping to fund prosthetic limbs for four children, along with rehabilitation and holistic support for children and young adults. These funds will continue to support further children & young adults.

Earlier this year, a further €11,700 was raised on our online “Breathe for Gaza “, bringing the total raised in 2025 to €55,594.35. 😭 !! We were deeply moved by the generosity of Irish businesses who supported the event with over €38,000 worth of raffle , prizes & gift bags.

Heartfelt thanks to @courtneysmithstyle our MC on the day, and to @niamhogradyryan and @charleneflanagan_ from @ellaandjo_ , @drmichellehone and @sarahke11y_ from @herologyhub and @sarahjanekeating from Valeo Foods for contributing 160 products, supplements, and treats for the gift bags. Thank you to @oldstreetdublin and their team with special thanks to @_elaineryan__ and to the singing waitresses that we hire to surprise everyone on the day. Huge thank you to Caroline @signarama_ireland for gifting the printing

We also wish to acknowledge all donations received since the event, with heartfelt thanks to John, Lisa’s brother and a very generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Thank you to our friends who helped with ticket and raffle sales and to our families for their support over the past three months, especially our husbands @philcarrporto , @jasonkendellen @thomas_moran23 . Finally thank you to our daughters Lola, Jess and Alannah for their help on the day who reminded us why this work matters so deeply.

There is still time to donate and help us continue to Give the Gift of Movement this Christmas. Link in bio & stories.

The latest Wings for Hope newsletter is live, sharing the real impact your generosity is already making, including the stories of the children already receiving support.

Wishing you all a peaceful, gentle festive season, whatever & however you celebrate 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, I was truly honoured to be asked to MC the @wingsforhopeproject__ Ladies Lunch at @oldstreetdublin.

I’ve always used my platform to speak out about the atrocities happening in Gaza, so being able to lend my voice and time to this fundraiser felt deeply important and a real privilege. Thank you to @lauracarrcoaching, @thepractical.psychologist, and @lisakendellen for trusting me with this role.

Together, the event raised almost €38,000, an incredible achievement. But there is always more we can do. I’ve shared a QR code in the swipe across for anyone who feels called to donate.

It's Christmas... a time rooted in generosity and compassion, so it’s worth knowing that the Wings For Hope is a grassroots humanitarian organisation dedicated to providing advanced bionic prosthetics, orthotics, and specialised medical procedures for amputee victims in need of new limbs. Any donation small or large is appreciated.

Thank you, always, for your kindness and generosity 🤍

Buddha said, central to life is a sense of struggle. This is true. However, we have the choice to perceive our own reality through a negative or positive lens. By giving gratitude for the most mundane of things and even amidst the struggle, our attitude towards life can alter immeasurably. Cultivate a culture of gratitude.

The older I get, the more I simplify. Say thanks!

Here's a gratitude meditation for you; A balm for the soul.

Say Thanks

Stop and pause,

Can you hear the bird soaring above your head?

In perfect pitch, calling you into awareness,

Say thanks.

Can you notice the bowl of food at your table?

Nourishment in every spoon,

Taste with gratitude,

Say thanks.

Can you hold a tight embrace with someone you care about?

Feel their beating heart next to yours,

Say thanks.

Can you feel the strength in both your legs,

As you step out and into another day?

Give gratitude,

Say thanks.

Can you see the tree that bows down to you?

Eons of growth, look up, look deeply,

Say thanks.

Can you pick the first spring flower?

Smell it as it brightens up your day,

Say thanks.

Can you feel the fresh breeze upon your face?

Gently awakening you,

Welcome it,

Say thanks.

Place both palms upon your stomach,

Watch the rise and feel the fall of each and every breath,

And in your heart of hearts feel a deep sense of gratitude,

Say thanks,

Say thanks,

Say thanks.

Melanie
