Our listener is so confused. Her heart is telling her one thing and her head another. Which should she listen to? And how can we stop ourselves from feeling guilty for speaking our truth?
'I moved to America 18 months ago with my two children. We moved for my husband's job it was a big decision as we have two small children. The plan was to move here for 3 years and save, come home and buy a house in Ireland, however I didn’t realise how much of an opportunity of life we had moving here especially for my children and we have come to love it here! I do have family that want me to come home and raise my children in Ireland. I think they feel I’m taking them away from them...'

'We’ve lost someone deeply important to us and the way each of us is grieving couldn't be more different. Some of us want to talk constantly. Some of us don’t and it’s becoming harder to coexist without tension. Now we feel towards each other. Small things turn into arguments because underneath it all we're all hurting just in different ways. I find myself thinking, why can't I cope like them? Or why can't they see how hard this is for me? Then I feel guilty for thinking that. I can't stop thinking about my mum who has died. What would she think?' Thank you to the HIA.ie for supporting Better Days this season.
'I carry a quiet belief that some people are allowed to be seen to want things and to take up space and others like me should stay small. I see people openly chasing dreams, building businesses, having public profiles, naming what they want without guilt. Meanwhile, I question myself, am I allowed to want this, to be visible, to go after something simply because I want it? My soul feels like it's pushing me to be seen, heard and trust my desires without shame.' In this episode Gerry and Georgie have a deep conversation about self worth and how to go after the life we dream about. Thank you to the HIA.ie for all the support this season.
In light of what is happening with the Beckham's, this episode couldn't be more relevant right now. This will help us understand family dynamics and the root cause of this particular problem that many families face. This listener who moved abroad feels conflicted between independence and her parent’s need for control. Despite knowing the behaviour comes from fear and unresolved issues, judgement leaves them doubting themselves. They feel torn and felt compelled to get in touch. Gerry introduces his A–C–E framework (Accept, Change or Exit), offering practical ways to set boundaries, shift emotional patterns and build relationships rooted in compassion rather than resentment.

'I'm in a long term relationship, we have kids and honestly things are fine. We get on, we're good parents, there's no big issue but I can't shake a feeling that sometimes I'm missing something. My relationship with my husband feels comfortable and safe, but sometimes it feels flat. I don't want to blow my life chasing some sort of an electric relationship that might not even be real. And I must admit that sometimes I find myself thinking about my ex...' Gerry and Georgie are back for a deep conversation about the ups and downs of long term relationships, how people can evolve together and how we can dig deep to do the work before giving up. Thank you HIA.ie for the support this season.
'My friend is thriving, a new job, new confidence. I love her but instead of feeling happy I feel insecure and jealous. Her success makes me question my own life and when things don't work out for me as they 'should' I feel angry at myself. How do I work through these emotions without feeling angry or pushing her away.'
