This week, I'm joined by one of Ireland's most recognisable content creators, Caoimhe McGinley also known as The Big Hill House on Instagram.

From building one of Ireland's best loved lifestyle pages to rebuilding her own life behind the scenes, Caoimhe shares an honest conversation about love, loss, divorce, motherhood, grief, and finding the strength to start again.

She also speaks publicly for the first time about a defamation case she says changed her life, and why she's ready to tell her story.

A powerful conversation about resilience, healing, and discovering strength through life's toughest moments.

Today, Humphrey is sober, comfortable in his own skin, and determined to help others know that there is hope.

This is a powerful conversation about identity, addiction, recovery and self-acceptance.
