Ger Redmond : Being a good role model 1:09:51

5 weeks sitten1:09:51

1:09:51

Topics covered : Traumatic childhood, abandonment, disappointment, pain, breaking negative cycles, self-worth, sport, faith. Last year I sat down to speak to my next guest and I’m finally releasing our conversation. I spoke to Irish professional athlete and coach at Oberstown Children’s Detention Centre, Ger Redmond. He’s married to Pauline, who he describes as his rock and they have 5 kids together, 4 girls and a boy. A childhood of neglect and dysfunction led him on a destructive path in life which involved joining a gang for nearly 20 years. He turned to a life of criminality when his dream of becoming a professional footballer came to a cruel end due to an event that had devastating consequences for his family and another. He’s not comfortable talking through the details of it during our conversation, out of respect to all involved. Many years later Ger himself spent a couple of years in prison but becoming a father to a son was the catalyst for change. When his son Ross was born in 2016, he completely changed his life. He threw himself into sport and set about breaking the negative cycles of behaviour that had caused so much harm to him and his siblings and today, his life’s work is about helping and motivating others. To connect with Ger, go to… Ger Redmond You can also scroll back and listen to my conversation with Ray Goggins (released 22nd of October 2021) who is mentioned during our chat. Hosted on Acast.

During this conversation she covers the importance of truly honouring how we feel and how acceptance (as difficult as it can be) is so beneficial. She also talks about expectation and judgement, the difference between jealousy and envy and how important it is to have compassion for ourselves and others.

Hala Sourani : Gaza, forever in my heart 1:03:23

13 weeks sitten1:03:23

1:03:23

Topics covered : Life in Gaza, living under occupation, murder, grief, trauma, injustice. In my final episode in 2024, I speak to Palestinian mother Hala Sourani. In October 2023, Hala was married to Mohammad and they had 2 girls Shahd who was 6 and Rahaf who was 5 and they lived in Gaza. In November of that year, they tried to flee but, in the process, both Mohammad and Rahaf were murdered by Israelis. As you can imagine, this is a harrowing account of that time so please be aware before you listen but I really hope you do stay with this conversation as intense as it is and that you allow yourself to connect with Hala and the pain and injustice that she and so many have been, and continue to be, subjected to. She came to Ireland with her daughter Shahd in February and has been working as a volunteer here and remarkably she completed a MBA last month too. I wish we never had to have this conversation. I wish she was still in Gaza with her husband and girls, but that is unfortunately not the case. This is without a doubt one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had on Ready to be Real and I am honoured that she trusted me with it. She’s not comfortable speaking about the Go Fund Me that has been set up to help her but I’m going to ask you to please consider donating what you can so that she and her daughter can try and rebuild their lives here in Ireland. They need and deserve our support. Any and all donations would be gratefully received. Fundraiser by Sarah Costello : Urgent Help For Halla & Chahd (Gazans in Ireland) Go raibh mile maith agaibh. A special word of thanks to the wonderful Kate O’Dwyer, the founder of 'Pals for Palestine' for all her help in connecting Hala and I and for all her love and guidance behind the scenes. I’ll be back in the New Year with more episodes and thanks for your support as always. Until then, tabhair aire agus Nollaig Shona dhaoibh go léir. Saoirse don Phailistín. Hosted on Acast.
