Yesterday, I recorded an interview with Ritchie Allen, a much loved Irish podcaster who is based in the UK. His shows are a source of intel’ for me on all things Irish, but he also calls out what’s happening underneath broader news stories in his inimitable ‘no holes barred’ style, accompanied by that lovely Irish lilt and a wicked sense of humour. Unsurprisingly, he has a large following worldwide.
This opportunity came about through a piece of synchronicity, which fitted the vibe I have been manifesting to rebuild a media presence. I had one a long time ago, when I was in the financial sector, but I am starting again from scratch now. The reason is to be able to share my life insights with others, based on ideas expressed in my book, because it’s vital that we harness our personal power to change our lives and the world, at this key moment in human history. Also, because I want to share the Earth Collective journey, in order to offer guidance to others who may wish to do similar.
So, one lovely summer’s day, at an Irish folk and cultural festival near Cork, I bumped into Jeananne. It was clear from the start, that we were on the same page. Jeananne came from a high end professional background in London, which she ditched over 20 years ago, to live remotely in Connemara. She shares with me, the journey from city professional to semi-feral, and continues to be a mover and shaker in the different life she has now created. On the basis of a 15 minute conversation, she got in touch with her friend Richie Allen, and suggested (urhh, ‘instructed’) him to have me on his show. Thank you, Jeananne.
Richie said he welcomed the opportunity to go off-piste and talk about ‘all things esoteric’. Perfect! Given a choice of dates for the interview, I opted for the Summer Solstice (Tuesday), thinking it might be auspicious. However, technical gremins obstructed, and after a lovely introduction from Richie on the live programme, the response from me was a big fat nothing, as there was no sound. We tried various fixes while Richie played music, all to no avail. Poor Richie was left high and dry having to instantly dream up a plan B, while I let out excess energy on the end of a skipping rope. We regrouped the following day and did a test a few hours before the live time. The interview proceeded without any hitches. A huge sigh of relief from both of us. And, no doubt, the delay was significant in some magical way…..
