40: Liz Dwyer - Divorce, Dating, Aging and Future Beauty Show

Season 8, Ep. 11

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks Podcast

We are stretching - this time into our 40's.


So let’s drop our shoulders and take a breath and welcome my guest - Liz Dwyer


As Liz turned 40, her marriage ended.

We talk about that moment when her husband told her it was over, how putting all her energy into Future Beauty with her sister Nikki not only became a passion project but something that has gone on to help connect thousands of women with the right clinics for them and gave her back her financial security again.


And how ultimately she is grateful it all ended - that she has a second chance. And she is having so much fun with it. 


Future Beauty and Future Fertility shows will be taking over the RDS on Sat and Sunday March 1st and 2nd 2025.

Book your tickets here.


Supported by Key For Her - Their two-step supplement includes two unique blends to support your daily wellness and help naturally alleviate the symptoms associated with menstruation, perimenopause and menopause.

    NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks PodcastThis week I’m with one of my favourite, honest, mid life and mid size, fashion and beauty influencers Sinead from the Beaut Truth.Like me, Sinead is in her early 40’s she has kids and a career and like many many other women I know has recently gone through a bit of a dark night of the soul and new direction - new priorities - new boundaries - new woman. We talk about everything here from body image to physical health to breast reduction surgery. And how after losing her dad a few years ago that none of this self judgement means a damn thing. Being well is all that matters. And another thing that shouldnt mean a thing - are the opinions of others especially those that have written about Sinead in tattle threads, some even commenting on how she looked at school dropoffs - because ya know that’s a measure of her as a woman! Supported by McCabe's Pharmacy.

  • 3. Sarah Tobin - Feel your Feelings. Release your Emotions. Tap into YOU.

    01:02:53||Season 10, Ep. 3
    NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks PodcastHello you’re listening to Stretch Marks with me your host Sinéad O'Moore. This week I’m joined by a friend, a woman who has nourished her grief into an empathy that is helping others through a modality known as Emotional Freedom Technique and now author of her first book Tapping into You - Sarah Tobin. I first met Sarah about 7 years ago as she joined me to share her story of losing her newborn Alice and explored what all this “tapping” stuff was. As you listen to the episode here, you’ll see how I began as a bit of a cynic but as for us all in some shape or form, life brought me to my knees one day and without realising it - I was there tapping on the points that Sarah has once taught me and feeling a wash of calm - just enough to get through. This conversation is vibrant and loving and hopeful and full of light - but it does also reflect on our own personal experiences of grief and baby loss so just mind yourself if that is not what you need right now but I promise you it will introduce you to something that can  look after your emotional health. Preorder Sarah's Book HERESupported by McCabe's Pharmacy.

  • 10. Maria Byrne, No Spring Chicken: Why So Much of Life Collides for Women in Their 40's

    01:06:31||Season 9, Ep. 10
    NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks PodcastWe are stretching - this time into our 40's. This season wraps up with a huge conversation with Maria Byrne also known as No Spring Chicken Maria is a mother of 2 about to leave her 40's behind - a decade where so much has changed for her professionally, personally and hormonally. From the grief of losing her mum to deep anxiety, redundancy and figuring out a childhood where the dad she saw once a week had another family, his “real family” and she was the other child… and the scandal and insecurity that all brought.  And how somewhere in her 40’s all these threads and stories that made her who she was all came to a head - or more like a wrecking ball. But she is here, in a good space with her health back on track. Which is what its all about. Life leaves it’s mark on us and eventually instead of hiding them we have to heal them.Supported by McCabe's Pharmacy: Download the new and improved McCabes Pharmacy app today, it's a simple, secure, and time-saving way to manage medications.
