While we have enjoyed each episode thus far, this topic is particularly one that interests me and I can't wait to share our insights with you. In episode five, we explore the concept of money mindset and what it means to us personally. Moreover, we discuss how we bring consciousness to our spending in a world that is often driven by consumerism and limited income.

Lastly, Christine and I offer tips on budgeting, making savvy choices, and making your money work for you so most definitely plenty to learn, discuss and consider!!

This week I am joined with Christine where we discuss all things tax, audit and joining the workforce as a young graduate. Christine had joined me in a prior episode and to date, it has been one of my most popular listens!! Thus, we decided to host a mini-series to discuss similar topics and hopefully educate others as best we can on the world of tax, accounting and corporate life in general. This is the first episode of a six-part series so we hope everyone will be able to take something from at least one of the episodes. Each episode will focus on something different and to begin, we felt it necessary to give a little intro and background on ourselves, elaborate on one's choices after college- should they wish to pursue a career in either tax or accounting and how it is we chose between big four vs small firm practise for our training. Really hope you enjoy and be sure to share!!

Sustainability has been a core value of Emma's business and within this episode, we discuss in-depth the logistics of implementing sustainability and what essentially are the steps that one must take and the areas one must consider if they too wish to take a more sustainable approach in business. Moreover, we touch on the transformation of influencer marketing which led to her founding her second business UGC. A brand that focuses on strategically aligning businesses with individuals who can promote their products but most importantly, individuals who authentically represent what it is the brand stands for. So be sure to listen, share & enjoy!!

Today is a solo episode and I can not wait for you guys to hear what I have to say. Today I am discussing my recent venture to Switzerland, my experiences on Erasmus all those years ago, how underrated Europe is and my spending priorities as a current 25-year-old looking to travel but equally living through a cost-of-living crisis on a graduate wage. It's a combination of everything and definitely representative of the chaos that is my life at the minute but I touch on some very topical and interesting areas that hopefully my listeners can relate with. Linked below is a prior episode I mention at the end of this podcast, please listen, share and download!! Looking forward to the season ahead with many more interesting guests to come!!

This week we are back with Season 4 Episode 3!! On this episode, I sit down with Lorraine Hogan aka. The Wellness Coach to discuss all things women's circles, cacao and finding your true, authentic self. To begin this discussion, Lorraine elaborates on her life, previously having worked as a social care worker for 18+ years. Following her time as a social care worker, she noted something was missing and pursued her current business in wellness. It has been nothing but success for her ever since. A big believer in manifesting and energy, she has been able to connect with herself and create the life that she truly desires. While there is no doubt it has been hard work from the get-go, it has all been worth it for Lorraine to now be able to branch into holistic practises, bring communities together and provide people with the tools to thrive. In stripping back her life and encouraging others to do the same, she and others have found true happiness in the simplest of things like being outdoors, connecting and getting to know themselves. So like, share and listen to the episode, as always wishing you nothing but the best in life, SSS x.

Welcome back to S4 E2 of the Soulful Savvy Sister- this week I am joined with AOK nutrition to discuss all things hormones, herbal medicine and gut health. As someone who wouldn't be too educated on the ins and outs of nutrition, one thing I do recognize is the link between what we ingest and our overall wellness. There is no doubt that food, nutrition etc. play a massive role in how we feel and today I am here to discuss this with someone who was a wealth of information within this area, Aisling Fox. Aisling and I sat down to discuss heavy periods, acne & fertility but equally touched on the upcoming area of herbal medicine, prevention over cure and using traditional medicine in tandem with herbs to maximise overall health. I learnt so much from what Aisling had to say and I have no doubt that you will too, so take the time to listen, enjoy and share with all you know!! Wishing you nothing but the best in life, SSS X.

Hello and welcome back to Season 4 of the podcast!! So buzzing to be back with another season of wholesome and inspiring content. I am definitely starting this season on a high with my guest Maura aka. Yoga With Maura. What I loved most about this episode was the honesty and transparency Maura showed while sitting down to chat with me. Within this episode, we discussed all things yoga, following her passion and remaining true to herself throughout the entire journey. Maura was such an inspiration as not only did she outline how she built her business from the ground up, but equally the struggles she endured throughout. So often I feel we can be faced with stories of entrepreneur's success but never see their failings or the behind-the-scenes work involved in getting there. However, Maura remained consistent throughout and never doubted what her passion and gut were telling her. Within this episode we also touched on the power of yoga, embracing the outdoors, finding your joy and manifesting. To name but a few, so please check it out and share this episode with as many people as possible- wishing you nothing but the best in life SSS x

In this episode, I sat down with Christine Kearney aka. lifeby.CK where we discussed an arrayment of topics including how Christine has developed her own business Venga People and currently operates as a self-employed tax consultant in Spain. Christine set up her business after spending four years in the Cayman Islands working for a company and providing tax advice. Upon spending several years developing her tax knowledge she felt it was then time to do what she had always envisioned for herself, that is create flexibility within her work. In setting up her own business, Christine has managed to do just that and now spends her time between Spain, Ireland and any other country she chooses while working online. Christine and I also touched on areas like our professional exams, becoming an accountant/ tax advisor & life as an associate.  Moreover, Christine elaborated on investing, how she manages her money and the minimalist life she has chosen that enables her to live debt-free.  Other areas we discussed included Christine's time as a solo- traveller, how she dealt with the 'gap' in her CV and the various parts of the world she saw while travelling both Europe & Asia. There is no doubt that there is something in this episode for everyone and everyone could most certainly learn one, if not several things from Christine and all the insights she had to share.  So share, download & listen to the episode now, Wishing you nothing but the best in life, SSS x

This week's episode is with Sarah Doyle- a life & confidence coach, who has successfully created her own business 'the better life project.' Throughout this conversation, Sarah & I touched on various topics ranging from how to build confidence, become self-aware and create the life you desire. Sarah also touched on her own story, detailing the journey she has been on to date and how she now helps others to build various skills and traits which they can then use to live happier and more fulfilled lives. Before becoming a life coach, Sarah worked at the same job for years eventually reaching a point of 'enoughness', realising that it no longer fulfilled her. Upon realising this she details her perseverance in remaining within her job, so that she could establish that leaving was, in fact, the right option (often we can react instantaneously which can be great, but on acting such impulse we may realise later, that the decision made on impulse wasn't necessarily the best decision) and create a plan on what her next move was going to be. Thus, 'the better life' project was born.

This week I am joined with The Relationship Coach to chat all things argument styles, attachment styles & love languages. Lisa was an absolute wealth of information and had so much to share on developing healthy relationships. This ranges from the relationship with yourself, your significant other and all the friends you hold nearest to you. In every aspect of our lives, we encounter relationships with either ourselves or others so it is vital that we know how to manage them effectively. Through education on things like argument styles or attachment styles, we can create constructive conflict within our lives and eliminate the toxicity that can often accompany how we interact with others. Within this conversation, we also touched on and explored various concepts like gas lighting and what constructive conflict in fact looks like. One thing is for sure, communication is key to every relationship so for anyone who feels as though they struggle to communicate effectively or at all with those in their lives, be sure and give this podcast episode a listen.

Aine established The Smooth Company 11 months ago and has already achieved so much. To date, The Smooth Stick is stocked in Arnotts, Brown Thomas and has attained over 39k followers on Tiktok. Equally, Aine herself was recently named as Ireland’s 30 under 30 for this year and I have no doubt, that so much more is to come. I am so grateful to Aine for sitting down with me and discussing the intricacies of business, how she built her business from the ground up and what it is she has learnt along the way. For Aine, it is clear some of the most important aspects of her business include, and what she attributes its success to is, hard work, dedication and quality. In taking the time to perfect her product and strategically focus on what matters most Aine has thrived in the world of entrepreneurship with vital resources like Enterprise Ireland helping her along the way. Equally, throughout our discussion, Aine touched on the personal aspect of running a business- how important boundaries, routine and self-care are. All have helped her to flourish day-to-day in all that she does. So if you’re interested in entrepreneurship, business or even overall wellness give this episode a download, a listen and a share with all those you know.

Welcome back listeners- this week I am releasing my conversation with Lauren Barrett, a twenty-three-year-old cancer survivor. To say that this conversation was both inspiring and humbling, would be an understatement and I can not thank Lauren enough for taking the time to sit with me and discuss her story. Lauren and I agreed before recording the podcast, the importance of creating awareness around a situation that so many people experience and endure day-to-day. We hoped that by sharing Lauren's story we could highlight the importance of conducting checks and knowing your body at all ages. So often we can think, 'that will never happen to me' or 'I will never experience something like that' but this podcast was such an eye-opening reminder to everyone, that anyone, at any age, can be subject to what Lauren underwent. Therefore, it is so important that we be as proactive as we can when it comes to our health. I have included below various links that may be of use to people who wish to conduct more regular checks but don't know how or simply forget from time to time. The application below enables one to set reminders every month if they like me, are someone who constantly forgets.  Before asking Lauren on the podcast, what struck me most about Lauren's story was her age and her mindset. As a girl in her early twenties, living a very normal life, she was faced with something that some of us couldn't even bear to imagine but both the courage and strength she displayed throughout her journey was a testament to the resilient person that she is. Throughout this conversation, I was in awe of Lauren's strength, positivity and outlook on life. She thought me so much about the power of our minds and the importance of gratification. She reminded me that we always have something in our lives that we can be grateful for and when we can train our minds to see those things (even in the darkest of days), that is when we can truly harness and master the power of positivity.  Please like, download and share this episode with as many people as possible and help us in spreading the word on the importance of proactiveness.

Just a little snippet on managing friendships, building confidence and handling stress. We have all experienced all three at some point, but very few of us know how to manage any of them effectively.  Within friendships, we can struggle with boundaries or saying no. It can be tough to find those with whom you have a deep connection with and in fact, better your everyday. Instead, we may settle for those who bring us down and continue to make our lives difficult, all so we don't feel alone. But the fact is, sometimes periods of loneliness are inevitable if we are to thrive and find others who support and contribute to our journey of growth and development.   In terms of confidence, self-doubt can often take over. We convince ourselves that we could never achieve or do X, Y or Z based on our perception of our abilities. But the fact is, we are capable of anything we set our minds to. It is merely about building confidence in order to execute the necessary action and maintain it for achieving our dreams.  Stress can be something we all encounter and majority of the time it can be something quite unnecessary and avoidable. Thus, I divulge some useful tips which majorly helped me when it came to managing my stress and overcoming that overwhelming feeling we are all so familiar with when things become too much.

This week I am back with part one of a two-part solo episode to start the New Year with some tips, tricks and inspiration. While I know there can be such a big push in the new year for a ‘new start’, it can be quite difficult to maintain the same motivation all year round. However, what I have learnt and what I am here to share today, is that we can start at any point. Any day, month or time that we so choose, is appropriate for achieving new goals. Moreover, any goal we should choose to strive towards, we can in fact achieve, provided we put concrete steps in place to do so. So often, I found the self-doubt would consume me and stop me from believing I could. But, once I overcame these self-limiting beliefs, I could achieve so much of what I’d previously thought was ‘impossible.’ So if you find yourself struggling with confidence and motivation to achieve what it is you’d like, give this a listen!! Wishing you nothing but the best in life, SSS. X

This week's podcast guest is 'The Sober Coach.' Coming up to the festive period in particular, it can be a massive drinking season. That is why I wished to sit down and record this episode to create awareness about what it is to drink & create a healthy,mindful relationship with alcohol. It was an absolute pleasure to speak with Joanne as she discussed her own experience with alcohol, how she discovered 'grey area drinking' and how it is she now helps others to develop healthy relationships with alcohol. Whether it be abstaining altogether or simply developing healthier habits, Joanne has helped so many people to create and implement a healthy relationship with alcohol. Like every relationship we have in our lives, how we drink should be one we too, examine & explore.
