Molly discusses a recent dysfunctional family dynamic where she noticed some real growth in herself and shares the tools she learned in counselling to navigate the dysfunctional dynamics that seem to be popping up like whack-a-mole. Molly then interviews psychotherapist, Bairbre Kelly. Bairbre is a mental health advocate, women's rights advocate, facilitator and Counselling Psychotherapist who runs her own private practice in Drogheda, Co Louth. She explains her unconventional approach to counselling as a reflection of her “outside of the box” neurodivergent perspective, having received an ADHD and dyslexia diagnosis at the age of 47.

Topics covered:

• Finding your career later in life
• Anger as a motivator for advocacy
• Neurodivergence
• Late ADHD diagnosis
• childhood experiences and how the messaging of those shapes our beliefs
• raising good men
• Feminism
• Sex education for teens, consent etc.
