In this episode, I'm joined by Ciara McNulty, nutritionist and women’s health advocate, for a refreshing and grounded conversation about nutrition, hormone health, and learning to truly understand our bodies.

We explore our relationship with food and why so many women feel disconnected from it, before breaking down the fundamental building blocks of good nutrition and what it really means to eat in a way that supports our hormones. Ciara cuts through the noise on supplements and wellness myths, bringing the conversation back to simplicity, consistency, and self-awareness.

We also discuss exercise, pregnancy, and the importance of tuning into your body through different life stages - without striving for perfection. Because being healthy doesn’t mean saying no to fun, enjoyment, or real life.

In this unfiltered conversation with Cindy Gallop, we dive into the art of being unapologetically yourself - in life, work, sex, and love. Cindy opens up about personal branding rooted in radical honesty, the power of living by your own values, and why caring less about what others think is a pathway to freedom. We explore the joy of being single, her philosophy on dating younger men, and her wish to broaden the meaning of love. Cindy also pulls back the curtain on building MakeLoveNotPorn, the world’s first real-world, user-generated sex platform, and explains why the future of sex tech matters for connection, education, and destigmatisation. A masterclass in confidence, courage, and rewriting the rules.

In this episode, Susan sits down with Lucy O’Keeffe, Co-Founder and CEO of CroíValve - a medtech company developing next-generation solutions for tricuspid valve disease.

Lucy shares her founder journey and origin story: how she met her co-founders, why she left her role in ICON to step into the unfamiliar world of startups, and what it was like to navigate that leap.

She brings us through her fundraising journey, raising €50 million from a wide range of investors - what she learned, what surprised her, and her advice for other founders preparing to fundraise.

We also explore the power of sponsorship, the importance of having people advocate for you, and how critical her board of advisors has been to CroíValve’s growth. Lucy opens up about her leadership philosophy, hiring great people, and how she works to show up with presence and authenticity.

A must-listen for founders, future fundraisers, and anyone navigating leadership in the startup world.
