Hey everyone! Today’s episode is one of those deep chats that I know will land with so many of you.
We’re diving into how to STOP suffering by aligning with the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, but in a way that actually makes sense in real life.
You don’t need to live in the Himalayas or have everything “figured out.” You just need to start practicing presence, awareness, and alignment. I’m breaking down how I apply each spiritual law in my own messy, human, everyday way, so you can too.
Expect real talk, relatable stories, and simple tools that help you stop resisting life and start flowing with it.
And yes… if you’ve been feeling disconnected, judgmental, or like you’re “behind” in life, this one’s your reminder: you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. 💫
Listen all the way through because the last few laws (especially Karma and Dharma) might just change how you see your whole purpose.

Welcome back to a new season of the Sinead Says Podcast. So much has changed, and today I’m finally sharing my full engagement story!
It still FEELS wild saying that. I never thought I’d be this girl: engaged, pregnant, and actually excited to plan a wedding!!
In this episode, I talk about:
✨ How therapy helped me heal my fear of commitment
✨ Why I used to believe I’d never get married
✨ How Sam proposed (spoiler: I definitely didn’t expect it)
✨ What healing an avoidant attachment style really looks like
✨ The wild engagement story—from Miami sunsets to tears on a boat
If you’ve ever struggled with letting yourself fully love someone, or you’re scared of commitment, I get it. I used to run from love because vulnerability terrified me. This story is proof that when you heal, love finds you in the most unexpected way.
Grab your tea, settle in, and let’s dive into the engagement story you’ve all been waiting for.

Ever look back at your old journals and feel a wave of compassion for your younger, perhaps more lost, self? 😢 In this deeply personal Sinead Says episode, I'm in my childhood bedroom, sharing raw entries from my diaries.
Join me as I revisit the anxieties, the heartbreaks, the search for self-belief, and the invaluable lessons learned. We explore actual entries, including:
This episode is a vulnerable reminder that our past shapes us, and understanding that "lost girl" helps us appreciate how far we've come. Journaling can be an incredible tool for that growth.

Think love is about finding "the one"? It's not. I break down why commitment—not perfection—is what really makes a relationship work 💥.
In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from Conversations on Love:
I’ve got personal stories too (wait till you hear about the limoncello fight over a Garmin charger 😂), some therapy insights, and Sam joins me for a real chat about what we wish we knew about love.
Single? In a relationship? Just want to figure love out? This one’s for you.

Feeling stuck or uninspired? Here's why learning something new could change your brain and your life.
In this season opener, Sinead Hegarty brings a refreshing wave of energy and wisdom, reflecting on her recent personal milestones and what she's been learning along the way. From studying positive psychology to completing a half marathon, Sinead draws compelling links between everyday habits and brain-enhancing science.
She dives deep into how learning new things boosts neuroplasticity, memory, and even emotional regulation by strengthening your brain’s gray matter and prefrontal cortex. Through heartfelt personal stories and scientific insights, she reveals how meditation and learning spark dopamine, build cognitive reserves, and even mimic the psychological effects of “runner’s high.”
Future episodes promise to explore relationships, early love, and spiritual growth, all through a psychology-backed lens.
🎧 If you’re ready to feel inspired, mentally sharper, and more connected to your purpose, this episode is your sign to press play.

What Do a Viral GAA Catfish Scandal and Molly-Mae’s Latest Documentary Have in Common? More Than You Might Think… 👀
At first glance, the GAA Catfish scandal and Molly-Mae’s documentary seem completely different—one is about deception, the other about personal growth. But both stories highlight something we see every day: the power of perception, the illusions created on social media, and the role intention plays in shaping our reality.
🔍 Inside This Episode:
🔹 The GAA Catfish & The Illusion of Identity – This wild story proves how easy it is to manipulate perception online. It raises huge questions about why people create false personas and why we fall for them.
🔹 Molly-Mae & The Pressure of Public Image – On the other side, Molly-Mae’s documentary explores how public perception affects self-worth, and how the pressure to be seen a certain way can lead to living up to an illusion rather than your authentic self.
🔹 The Role of Intention – Whether it’s a fake identity or a curated highlight reel, both stories remind us that we shape our own reality—consciously or unconsciously. The key is intentionality: Are you building a life that’s true to you, or one designed to impress others?
🔹 How This Ties into Manifestation – The way we present ourselves, the stories we tell, and the intentions we set shape our lives more than we realize. Whether we’re manifesting success or falling into the trap of external validation, our intentions determine the reality we experience.
At the core of both stories is a big question:
👉 Are we in control of our identity, or is social media controlling it for us?
