In this episode, I chat with Michelle McCarthy, a Dublin-based life and career coach who specialises in helping women navigate professional transitions with confidence.

Michelle shares her journey from being a "high-achieving perfectionist" in the corporate marketing world to finding her true purpose through coaching.

After overcoming personal struggles with body image and self-worth, she realised that the traditional corporate ladder didn't align with her new perspective on life. Now, she helps other women advocate for themselves, set boundaries, and find roles that bring them genuine fulfilment

In this episode, I reconnect with Hannah, who first joined me in the very first episode of this podcast to talk about her mysterious symptoms, endless medical tests, and the search for answers.

After three years of struggle, countless appointments, and being told it was “just stress,” Hannah finally received a Lyme disease diagnosis , a diagnosis that brought her both relief and new challenges.

Hannah opens up about what it’s really like to live with an invisible illness, how she’s completely changed her lifestyle, and why she’s passionate about raising awareness for Lyme disease, a condition that remains under-recognised and often difficult to diagnose.

She also shares an important message for anyone navigating health uncertainty: trust your body, keep going, and advocate for yourself , even when the system makes it hard. You can self-refer, you can ask questions, and you deserve to be heard.

🎙️ If you haven’t already, listen back to Season 1 Episode 1 to hear Hannah’s story from the beginning.
