In this sacred and soul-nourishing episode of Having the Chats with Peter and Sophia, we sit in deep conversation with the radiant and grounded Dr. Bláithín Sweeney, known to many in her community as a healer, guide, space holder, and the heartbeat behind the Having a Laugh charity.
Bláithín’s journey is a unique and powerful one.
From the structured world of synthetic organic chemistry, where she earned her PhD, to the intuitive, heart-led realm of spiritual healing and community care. She is a woman who walked away from titles and expectations to walk others home to themselves.
Today, she offers her gifts through yoga, meditation, and breathwork, holding space for people to reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and essence. Whether on the mat, in ceremony, or through laughter and movement, Dr. B is deeply committed to helping others remember who they are beneath the noise.
🌿 In this episode, we explore:
Her evolution from academic intellect to embodied wisdom
What it means to hold space for others on their healing path
The magic of breath as a bridge between pain and peace
The importance of community, service, and showing up with love
Her work with Having a Laugh, a beloved charity rooted in joy, connection, and healing through creative outlets
Releasing the pressure of labels and choosing a softer, more truthful life
This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t always look how we expect it to, and that often, the most powerful medicine is presence, compassion, and the courage to let go of who we were taught to be.
✨ If you’ve ever longed to merge science with soul, intellect with intuition, or if you’re simply craving a conversation that feels like a deep exhale, this one’s for you.
