Get In The Picture

Meet Arlene Hayes, Manager and Brand Ambassador with Pamela ScottTakeaways:For years in my 20's and 30's I wouldn't go outside the door without makeup. I was always hiding behind my hair and makeup. My hair had to be perfect...everything had to be perfect all of the time. But over the years as I have let my guard down and been more vulnerable I feel more at peace now and it's more refreshing for people to see that.Now some days I wear makeup and some days I don't.Our body is made up of cells, it is about what is inside, in our heart and soul that make up who we are, the essence of our being is inside of us. All the other 'stuff' is surface 'stuff'. My body itself has been through the war and back in its life so I don't judge myself and my body any more. I had to start my healing at the age of 39 years to find who I was again.Check out Arlene on instagram @arlenes_day

Meet Maeve Dennehy, owner of Love Cherish boutique and creator of the Oh Molly fashion label.Takeaways:A lot of my confidence comes from not really caring what other people think is from losing my sister and Mom. I cherish every single photo that I have of them. I love the unposed ones that aren't perfect but capture the essence of them. That captures the moments. These losses put everything into perspective around what is important and what is not.We need to get over ourselves and get in the picture if not for ourselves but for other people. They will want them in years to come. We are being kind of selfish if you are not. Do it for them.  You are so much more than your body, look at yourself as a whole person.I am very conscious of how I speak about my body in front of my daughter as for years I have seen women coming out of the changing room saying I look fat in this, the size of my hips and it hurts my soul to see a young girl sitting there listening to this.ContactInstagram: @maevedennehy_ | @lovecherishboutique | @ohmolly.ieFacebook: Love Cherish Website:www.lovecherish.com

Meet Lisa Fox a multi 6 figure business mentorTakeaways:The biggest challenge is to bring yourself fully with no mask and be yourself fully in front of people, audience or camera. I am not sure it is fully possible but that is what I strive to do and try to get better at every day. People are ultimately attracted to us, our business, our brand when we are ourselves yet it is one of the most difficult things to do...be ourselves.I am really inspired by younger women and their ability to really show up and shine as they are. Really embracing themselves and their bodies in all shapes and sizes. They are choosing confidence.We are not just doing this work for ourselves, it will affect generations to come. It already is. Contact:Lisa Fox FacebookInstagram:LISA FOX | BUSINESS AND CONFIDENCE COACH (@lisafox.ie) • Instagram photos and videosWebsite: www.lisafox.ie

Laura O’Mahony Comedian and PodcasterTake Aways:Your dreams don’t have an expiry date.Chase your own dreams.I have reframed how I look at my body and what I say about my body since I became a Mom, especially for my daughter. I say I am so strong, this belly was your home etc.I don’t love my body every day but I appreciate it and I am grateful for what it does.Contact:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauralolslots/Podcast: Red Raw https://open.spotify.com/show/0rwd2OgjgSgoxuxptpWhq8?si=c71b3db2a4e94dc9
