Stretch Marks

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks PodcastWe are stretching - this time into our 40's.So let’s drop our shoulders and take a breath – it’s time to meet my last guest of 2024, Emily O’Donoghue @Fashionablyfortyish If you haven’t discovered Emily yet she is a mother of 2 girls who started her instagram 5 years ago to share her love of fashion which has grown into this really engaged community of women sharing and supporting each others growth, passions and health. She is 45, midway through her 40’s and gives us glorious nuggets of truth and wisdom in this conversation. We talk about how our 40’s is such a pivotal decade for women. How moments in early motherhood with premature births and dangerously high blood pressure continue to leave their mark on her, and how she supports her mental health with anti depressants, movement, nutrition and great friends.  As women in our 40’s we need to gather and connect - whether through social, on this pod or I hope in real life. And this is that. It’s a beautiful celebration of connection. And the last episode to close out the year. 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.Use the discount code STRETCH for 20% off your first order across all products on keyforher.com "The 40's Stretch" is a Stretch Marks Production,Hosted by Sinéad O'Moore, produced by The Brand Story and sound edited by Alan Breslin.Contact: stretchmarkspod@gmail.comhttps://www.instagram.com/stretchmarkspodcast/

NEW! "The 40's Stretch" - A new season from Stretch Marks PodcastWe are stretching - this time into our 40's.There comes a point for many of us where we slide into this “sandwich” generation of caring for young and caring for old.And somewhere between the weight, worry and love for them all, we can ignore our bodies whispers - but as my guest today Kellie Billings explains, you can only ignore them for so long. Kellie is in her early 40’s, she's the Beauty Editor with Social and Personal Magazine, co-host of the Skin in the Game podcast, a mum of 3 girls and daughter of an incredible mother with alzheimers. And in August her body said no more and she needed urgent surgery for a perforated stomach ulcer while in Portugal on holiday. We talk about caring for her mam with Alzheimers, signs her body was not ok, and the lessons learned from her emergency health scare.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.Use the discount code STRETCH for 20% off your first order across all products on keyforher.com "The 40's Stretch" is a Stretch Marks Production,Hosted by Sinéad O'Moore, produced by The Brand Story and sound edited by Alan Breslin.Contact: stretchmarkspod@gmail.comhttps://www.instagram.com/stretchmarkspodcast/

NEW! The 40's Stretch - Stretch Marks with Sinéad O'MoorePlease welcome my second guest, Laura Nolan Horgan, founder of LNH Edit, mother of 3 and BRCA gene warrior who in her early 30's said no thanks to Ovarian and Breast cancer and underwent a Salpingo Double Ooverectomy, full hysterectomy which removed her ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, womb and double mastectomy - and while this saved her life, it also plunged her straight into surgical menopause. Laura shared her story on Georgie's Good Glow podcast 4 years ago which gives a really good insight into her BRCA Gene story and well worth a listen - but here, with the grace of time and distance from this traumatic life grenade, Laura shares the hormonal impact thereafter. We talk about HRT, how Menopause and Women's Health specialist, Dr. Deirdre Lundy brought her back to life, reclaiming her sense of womanhood and the lessons every woman should know from someone who had to learn the hard way, far far too young.

NEW SEASONWe are stretching - this time into our 40's.I’m Sinead O’Moore host of Stretch Marks podcast and If you're a fan of that podcast, you'll know it started in motherhood but over the years has grown to discuss all the ways life continues to stretch us.  And this season is a deep dive into the 40's stretch! I really believe that our 40’s is a powerful decade where we can grow into the women we are here to be. There can be a bit of liberation, reclamation. we could take over the world – if the world and our hormones would stop knocking us back down again. I turned 40 in July, perimenopause is hovering over my shoulders, I am getting more anxious, more stressed, sleeping less even though my kids are sleeping more and I know countless women in my tribe who know the game has changed but have no idea how to win anymore. And just like in early motherhood - there is so much left unsaid, so much to learn and so much to gain from connecting with and sharing the real experiences of women.  So together with my amazing new sponsor Key For Her, the Irish female owned two-step supplement brand that includes two unique blends to support your daily health and help naturally alleviate the symptoms associated with your menstrual cycle, peri and menopause, - I'll be having deep conversations with inspirational women, experts and friends about how to embrace, conquer and thrive throughout our 40’s stretch. This new 12 episode season kicks off on Wednesday 6th of November. I’ll be joined by inspiring, educated, courageous women, experts and friends and I will be taking notes. Ok, together lets figure out The 40’s Stretch. See you wednesday. Created by Sinead O'Moore Get in touch stretchmarkspod@gmail.com
