The Pebble In My Shoe - Ep. 20 - 'When you know, you know'.

Becky Pender lives in Glasgow and, among other things, is mum to four young girls. Her eldest daughter lives with not one but two rare genetic conditions making her the only child worldwide with both.

Becky loves nothing more than curating relationships with like-minded people across the world, making her the perfect fit to look after the rare disease community at RARE Revolution magazine.

She’s always been led by her intuition which has served her well from her career journey to her children’s health and everything in between. When she's not working, she loves a good book or making memories with her family. You can usually find her with a cup of coffee in hand.

She also happens to be my eldest daughter, and it's amazing to have her as a guest on the podcast.

Becky is happy to be contacted by anyone navigating the rare disease space and related issues. You can contact her at the details below.

Ep. 19 - 'Exploring Judgement & Agenda' - Mindfulness Podcast with Miffy Hoad

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Pebble In My Shoe - Ep. 19 - 'Exploring Judgement & Agenda

I usually have a guest but this episode is a replay of an episode of a Mindfulness Podcast that I produced during the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020.

This is episode 4 of that series called 'Exploring Judgement and Agenda'. I’ve chosen this theme for the week that is in it. The Presidential elections in America have just taken place and there is a lot of rhetoric about the result.

I am of the belief that we are here for this time. We are here to hold and anchor the light where we are. That engaging in the arguments over right and wrong, just and unjust, etc etc. only feed further into the othering and them and us mentality that divisive politics fosters.

And so here is a reflection and meditation on ways we can practice heart centred presence.

I speak for about 20 minutes on the subject and then guide you on a meditation for a further 20 minutes so you might want to sit and experience the second part.

The Pebble In My Shoe - Ep. 17 - 'She is Rising' with Guest Brenda Cormican

Brenda Cormican is a business coach from Galway.

Having completely changed her career trajectory following the birth of her first child in 2021, she now supports others in following their passion and building a business of purpose and impact.

Brenda spent over a decade in the hospitality industry which she stumbled into after studying business in college. She spent years searching for her own souls calling but never finding it and giving up hope that she ever would.

So she started investing in herself and gaining a deeper understanding of who she was and what she wanted out of life.

In 2021, she made the decision that she was not going back to work after maternity leave and instead, she started her own business applying the skills she had learned in business, sales and marketing and ultimately mindset coaching.

She now lives a life of aligned purpose, offering her freedom to live life on her terms.

Brenda is also regular host of the Business Show on Loughrea Community Radio.

You can follow and contact Brenda in Instagram @:brendacormicanbusinesscoach and on Linked In @ Brenda Cormican.

Ep. 14 - 'Mindfulness Brought me Home' with guest Eilish O'Rourke

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The Pebble In My Shoe - Ep. 14 - 'Mindfulness Brought me Home'

Eilish O’Rourke is Mindfulness Instructor

Her business name is @sensing_moments

Eilish supports ladies who are ready to learn how to focus their attention, how to break the cycle of just existing, to feel love, joy, fun & peace in their hearts & minds.

She teaches how the mind works & how to be in the moment.

Originally from Granard, Eilish qualified as an Accountant and worked in Dublin before meeting her husband, moving to Kilbeggan and raising her family.

Life kept showing her that while she was good at her accounting job there was another path for her. She was guided to Mindfulness, which she now teaches & is a regular on Athlone Community.

Eilish is also a Reiki Healer.

Below is a poem Eilish wrote in response to a moment of angst instigated by thoughts about Christmas.

Now

Back in the past and there to stay
Is 24 hours called Yesterday
A History of moments living how I knew
Accepting them as I moved through
It cannot change or be flexible but
There are lessons to learn where possible

In the future not available to borrow
Is 24 hours called Tomorrow
A Mystery to be the best of me
Allowing what will be will be so
Here to the times ahead and
With hope welcome where I thread

All that remains here on display
Is 24 hours called Today
This Present moment is a gift in essence
Because of living in the mindful presence
So past and future to you I bow
I have control you won't steal now

Ep. 11 - No Mud, No Lotus - Mindfulness Podcast with Miffy Hoad

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0100

The Pebble In My Shoe - Ep. 11 - 'No Mud, No Lotus'

I usually have a guest but this episode is a replay of an episode of a Mindfulness Podcast that I produced during the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020.

The subject is No Mud No Lotus which is an expression used by Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who founded the monastery Plum Village in France and wrote and taught extensively on the subject of Mindfulness.

The idea of 'No Mud No Lotus' helps reframe our experiences and come to recognise that we can actually grow from adversity. I have come to choose to believe in life happening for us rather than to us and I hope that this help shine light on the how the mud in your life might actually help your lotus to bloom.

I speak for about 20 minutes on the subject and then guide you on a meditation for a further 20 minutes so you might want to sit and experience the second part.

However you choose to listen, I hope you enjoy it.

Ep. 2 - 'The Courage to Grieve' with guest Michelle Funke

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 01:00:00 +0100

‘The Pebble in my Shoe’ Podcast – Episode 2 - ‘The Courage to Grieve’

My guest, Michelle Funke, also known as Mich, is an Energy Healer and Soul Coach with a focus on grief and trauma.

In this episode, we are talking about bereavement and loss, the trauma of tragedy and the consequential healing journey. If you have been bereaved, please mind yourself in the listening. Maybe you need to listen at another time, or have someone with you while you listen, please do what is right for you. That said, Michelle’s story is also one of hope.

Her own experience of deep grief and trauma have led her on a painful and meaningful life path.

At the age of 21 her fiancé died tragically in a car accident. And if that wasn’t enough, she and her husband lost their sweet baby boy Conor in 2017. Michelle says “Through the tears and the gut-wrenching pain, I searched for a deeper meaning to it all. What I had known all along, deep down inside, surfaced into my conscious awareness: my own journey through grief and trauma had given me a unique gift—a deep soul calling and passion for holding space for others in their darkest moments.”

Michelle says, “healing is our birthright; we all deserve to heal!”

If you would like to get in touch with Michelle Funke or find out more about her work, see the details below:

Michelle offers individual online healing sessions as well as more comprehensive healing packages tailored specifically towards trauma and grief healing.

My guest in this inaugural episode of the podcast, is Cathy Kelly Sweeney, an Executive Coach based in Donegal working in the areas of executive and communication coaching, leadership development and marketing consulting.

Burned out from juggling a high-powered corporate career with new motherhood, hectic city life and pleasing everyone but herself, Cathy headed north-west in search of a slower paced, more enjoyable and rewarding life, and hasn’t looked back.

Cathy mentioned a book called ‘Spirit Babies’ which is authored by Walter Makichen.
