In this episode, I just hit record after a therapy session to share what’s been on my heart. I talk about my recent trip back to Ireland, what it brought up for me, and some of the mental health struggles I faced last year. Coming home to Ireland is a journey and always teaches me something new about myself and how much I have grown. This one’s an honest reflection on how I’m learning to hold myself with more compassion, to notice my patterns, and to keep choosing healing, e...

Episode 10 of The DMC Podcast is a very special one, and it’s close to my heart. In this episode, I sit down in the forest for a deep DMC with my little brother, Jonathon. We open up about life growing up, the challenges our family has faced, and more recently, the loss of our dad. We talk honestly about his final days and how we each navigated that experience in our own ways. Jonathon shares his story with a powerful message about checking in with yourself and tuning into w...

In this solo episode I take the time to check in before returning on a trip back to Ireland. I share what’s been on my heart lately, from navigating triggers and returning to therapy, to giving myself permission to feel without needing a reason. I talk about the bittersweet moments of returning home to be with my family, the sadness of knowing I won’t see the one person I wish I could the most, and how my dad’s energy lingers on in all of us. I’m excited to be around t...

In this solo episode, I begin to peel back the layers and share a little more of my story. I talk about the journey of navigating anxiety, falling into the happiness trap, and learning slowly and imperfectly that resisting pain only creates more suffering. Feeling it all is still something I struggle with but I know it’s where real healing begins. As always you can connect with me further on Instagram @jw.healing Here at The DMC podcast all conversations ar...

Episode 7 is a solo episode as I sit in my car outside the launderette waiting for my washing. It is an impromptu episode where I hit record and talk about how grief surfaced for me after Father's Day. I speak about how grief can often trick us into thinking that we are okay & how it greets us at the most unexpected times. I speak about grief in general and how its not just linked to loosing a loved one - sadly it is something that we all experience, yet we have no idea what t...

Life is finally beginning to slow down, and with that, I’ve found the space to truly focus on this podcast, something I’ve dreamed about for a long time.

In this episode, I pause to reflect, gather my thoughts, and give you a little insight into what’s coming next. I also invite you to reach out if you feel called...

Today, I’m recording this episode on the beach at sunrise, on what would have been my dad’s 56th birthday. Birthdays can be a bittersweet reminder of those we’ve lost, but I’ve come to see them as a chance to celebrate and honour our loved ones. Grief doesn't have a rulebook and birthdays can bring up so many emotions. In this chat I reflect on why these days still matter and how small rituals can keep their memory alive. Whether you’ve lost someone or are navigating grief in your own w...

In this episode, I take a moment to reflect on the past three years since making my way back to Australia. After losing my dad in 2020, it was another year and a half before I could reunite with my partner. I finally landed in Australia on March 3rd, 2022. Now, exactly three years later, I’m sitting down to look back on that journey—the uncertainty, the challenges, and the immense growth that came with it. There were moments when it felt like things would never get better. During that t...
