My Engagement Story + Healing My Fear of Commitment

The Sinead Says Podcast

Show Notes

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.

Apr 14, 2026

A little hello from maternity leave!

Mar 10, 2026

This week the girls are back for a proper platter and a natter — the kind of catch-up that goes absolutely everywhere. Gemma shares pregnancy updates as baby’s arrival gets closer, while Sinead reflects on life with a three-month-old and how the newborn trenches finally start to ease. From sleepless nights and breastfeeding realities to hemorrhoids, hospital bags and postpartum essentials (yes… including the fanny freezer), nothing is off limits. The girls also dive into their Hot Takes of the Week, including why every friendship group should have a “nesting day” before a baby arrives. They chat about: • navigating early motherhood and sleep deprivation • the importance of community and helping new mums • friendships, showing up for each other and building your “village” • the pressure around marriage and babies • parenting styles and when others step in with your kids Plus the usual chaos and oversharing.
