À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
What if our greatest challenges are actually doorways to growth, healing and purpose?
In this beautiful conversation, recorded in the stunning Fota Gardens, Yvonne Welham and I sat on wooden thrones in a circle and explored the ups and downs of her extraordinary journey.
Yvonne is an author, meditation teacher, wellness coach and mother of five teenagers. She openly shares her experience of burnout, grief and a profound mental breakdown that ultimately became a breakthrough — a journey that deepened her faith and changed the way she sees life.
We talk about her belief that “I’m a spiritual being having a human experience,” the healing power of nature, being present, gratitude, surrender and learning to slow down enough to notice the signs around us.
🌿 We explore:
• Keeping it simple
• “Let go, let God”
• The power of meditation, breath and prayer
• Barefoot in nature and swimming
• Journaling and connecting with our five senses
• Finding joy and having three belly laughs a day
• Being authentic and becoming the best version of ourselves
• How our challenges can surface what needs to be healed
• Wayne Dyer’s idea of “EGO — edging God out”
• “Don’t die with your song still in you”
• Doing more of what brings you joy
Yvonne’s message is simple but powerful: let things flow, surrender, stay present and keep it simple.
Her book Gracefully Broken: Finding Strength, Healing, and Wholeness in Life’s Imperfections shares her lived experience alongside practical tools for emotional wellbeing, mindfulness and resilience.
📚 Book launch: 29 August 2026
