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 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

Meet Anna Geary former Cork All-Ireland winning camogie captain Broadcaster & Author Speaker | MCTakeaways:Take a seat at the table, there are so many opportunities be it sport, broadcasting, going back to college and we can be reluctant to take a seat at the table, get in the picture, be part of the story, be part of the narrative.Regarding putting myself out there...sport was a great leveller for me as every time you go out and play a match there are spectators, management, teammates and media and they all have an opinion and make judgements, criticism, feedback and learnings.If you have younger people in your life, kids, younger siblings or anyone you have influence over you want them to believe they are good enough, no matter what shape and size they are. You want them to feel they can do anything, BUT we don't take our own advice. Connect with Anna: Instagram: Anna Geary (@annagcork) • Instagram photos and videosBook: Anna's Game Plan

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
