S2 E9 PART 2 - Eabha's disability, single mom-hood and a co-parenting queen ft. Niamh O'Reilly
Not a Single BotherShow Notes
PART 2 with Niamh O'Reilly who is a single mom to her beautiful daughter Eabha. Gorgeous Eabha was born with a special disability called AMC which meant she was born with low muscle tone and fixed joints but really that just means she is cooler than most people 💕
I decided to divide this episode into two parts because there was SO much to cover from finding out she was pregnant 3 weeks after moving to Portugal DURING covid, finding out something was wrong but not knowing what exactly it was for so long even after the birth, sharing a child with someone she has known since they were 15, managing co-parenting and doing such a good job at it and, coming to the sad realisation that nobody is going to fight or care for your child like you do.
Aside from all that Niamh is GAS and is focusing on raising her tiny best friend, Eabha, and also being a screenwriter. No better person to have been dealt a shitty hand as she always see the positives in everything and is an inspiration to anyone going through a similar situation.

On this week's episode I’m joined by Tracy Hall who is author of The Last Victim which tells the story of how she was scammed by her partner of 18 months, Hamish McLaren, out of over $300,000. Hamish, who Tracy knew as Max, turned her life upside down leaving her and many others with no savings and absolutely heartbroken.
Who doesn't love a good dating story? This week, I brought my friend Grainne on the pod because she has spent the last few months in the dating scene here in Sydney and has a few iconic stories to tell. I've had a few horror stories myself which make for great stories but the best of all were our listener stories. They had us cackling so much we were silent laughing. From nudists to bar fights to catfishing to dead dogs there was a mixture of all sorts!!
Nutritional therapist and herbal medicine practitioner, Aisling (AOK Nutrition) specialises in female hormones and fertility and I just HAD to get Aisling back on the podcast. As one of my most popular episodes to date, I wanted to recap the old listeners and introduce her to any new, so that we finally understand how our bodies work as we just were not taught these things in school.
Following on from last weeks episode, Kelley and I are delving deep into the highs and lows that come with living in Australia.
With so many people moving to Australia in the last couple of years, I have seen a lot of chat about Australia not being what 'they' make it out to be.
