Welcome to "Moose on the Loose," my personal journey shared with you, through the highs and lows that life has tossed my way. I'm Paul, your guide on this adventure, where laughter mingles with tears, and every story is a step toward understanding the complex tapestry of human emotions. This series dives into the heart of my experiences—coming out in a world that hasn't always been accepting, navigating the challenges of adoption, battling the chains of addiction, and confronting the relentless need for attention and validation.
Set against the backdrop of Achill Island's breathtaking beauty, this podcast is my voyage across life's turbulent seas. From the addictive depths that threatened to drown me to the serene moments of mindfulness that offered a lifeline, each episode peels back another layer of my quest for identity, belonging, and self-acceptance. My adoption story is not just a search for where I come from; it's a deeper exploration of who I am and who I aspire to be, amidst the ever-present quest to fill the voids of displacement and disconnection.
"Moose on the Loose" is more than a podcast; it's an open diary of my struggles and triumphs, a place where I lay bare the raw truths of my life in the hopes of connecting with others who might feel just as lost or alone. Through candid discussions about my battles with addiction, my journey through the complexities of my sexuality, and the incessant yearning to be loved and accepted, I hope to light a path of hope for anyone wandering in the dark.
Join me on this emotional rollercoaster, where vulnerability is our common language, and resilience our shared outcome. Each episode is a reflection of the power of storytelling to heal, to unite, and to inspire. Whether you're here for a dose of empathy, a bit of wisdom, or simply to feel part of a larger story, "Moose on the Loose" welcomes you. Together, let's explore the intricacies of identity, embrace the journey of self-love, and find laughter and light in the places we least expect. This is my story, shared with you, in the hope that it might help us all to navigate the beautiful mess that is life.

Hey there, my dear listeners! Welcome back to another heart-warming episode of "Moose on the Loose." Today, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with the magnificent Davina Devine, who, aside from being an absolute queen on stage, decided to grace us with her presence while enjoying a little Chardonnay because, hey, it's thirsty Thursday after all!
Our conversation started off on a light note, reminiscing about how we first met in a somewhat less-than-glamorous state, thanks to a fun night out. It's incredible thinking about how time flies and how those moments of spontaneity can lead to lifelong friendships.
Davina shared her journey into the world of drag, which started more as a laugh with friends and blossomed into a passion that's lasted over two decades. It's funny how life throws these curveballs, isn't it? One minute you're joking around, and the next, you've found your calling.
One of the more poignant moments of our chat was when Davina opened up about her coming out story. It wasn't easy, filled with its share of drama and heartache, but it's shaped her into the powerhouse she is today. It's a reminder that sometimes, the hardest paths lead to the most beautiful destinations.
We also dived into how the social scene has evolved over the years, especially with the advent of apps like Grindr. It's interesting to see how technology has changed the way we connect, but also a bit sad to think about the communal spaces that have lost their spark.
Amidst all the laughter and nostalgic trips down memory lane, Davina touched on a subject close to her heart: the importance of Pride and being true to oneself. Her message was clear and beautiful—take your time, be gentle with yourself, and let life unfold at its own pace.
Ending our conversation, I couldn't help but feel inspired by Davina's resilience, humour, and warmth. As we said our goodbyes, I was reminded of the power of sharing stories and the strength found in community and friendship.
So, to all my listeners out there, whether you're finding your way or just enjoying the journey, remember, life is a beautiful, messy, and utterly divine adventure. Thank you for tuning in to "Moose on the Loose," and don't forget to like and subscribe for more heart-to-heart chats.
