Havin' the Chats Podcast
Welcome to our Having the Chats podcast.Hello, I'm Maeve and over the coming weeks and months, I'll be chatting to some amazing people who will share their stories with us, real people with real stories. People who have found themselves facing an unexpected bump in the road, a health scare or crisis which meant facing complete uncertainty – all of whom manage to navigate their way through adversity.Having faced my own bump in the road twice in 2019, I had what you might call a 'forced awakening' - I knew I had to stop and take care of myself.During that time, I also had moments of feeling quite alone – even though I was surrounded by family and close friends, and while their support was a comfort they couldn't fully relate to what I was going through, I needed to understand it and while there are most likely hundreds of thousands of people going through something similar, I didn't know of anyone and there is a sense of anxiety and helplessness that goes with that, isolation.There is huge comfort in knowing that you can identify with someone out there through a shared common experience.And that's what this podcast is all about, I want to give people a platform to share their experiences in the hope that it will help others.Most of us have heard of the saying that a problem shared is a problem halved and we know how important it is to talk, but when you know someone has gone through something similar to you, it not only gives you hope that you too will get through this, it gives you a connection with the world.Nobody goes through life unscathed and some definitely bear a heavier burden than others and while I try to practice gratitude everyday for how lucky I am, I'm a firm believer that everything is relative...life shouldn't be about comparisons... and everyone should feel a connection to someone or something in this world...and so I hope this podcast will encourage people not to lose faith or hope.That no matter how difficult or dark times may be, the light will shine again and even though it may not be the same as before, it will get brighter.I hope you stay tuned and listen in to us having the chats over the next few episodes - if you like what we're doing please do subscribe to follow us or leave a comment to stay connected.

Episode 7
This weeks episode is the last of Season 2. It sees me chatting to Tony - someone I worked with many years ago and I actually got to record this one in the studio and not in my linen closet, amazing! So today we chat about how life can change in an instant and how we all have that bounce-back-ability. Tony really embodies a positive mindset and the can do attitude of just do it, what IT may be.
