Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world).

  • Shonagh O'Connor - A Termination after 12 weeks: How women are still being denied abortion care in Ireland 01.04.2026 48m
    On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind. Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world). TRIGGER WARNING - PREGNANCY TERMINATION This episode discusses the termination of a pregnancy due to fatal fetal abnormality. But if you can stay - please do, because every woman in Ireland needs to hear this story to understand why our abortion legislation is letting down women who need and deserve to be cared for - here - in this country. My guest this week is mother of two Shonagh O'Connor.She contacted me and she asked me would I consider covering the topic of termination specifically to highlight how for some women they fall outside of the legislation and don’t receive care here. She explained her story and my response was to invite her to share it with you too - in her own words. At 12 weeks and 2 days, at a scan, she was told that her pregnancy was unlikely to continue to term. But as she was 12 and 2 days that there was nothing they could do for her in Ireland. She would have to travel to the UK for a termination. If she had been 11 week she could be treated here, despite the historic referendum, a landslide of 66.4% voting in favour to repeal the 8th amendment and provide abortion care for women in Ireland.This conversation acts as an example of how we are still exporting care of women in need of reproductive healthcare in this country.If you have been affected by the themes in this episode please find the following supports:Bereavement Support https://lmcsupport.ie/https://wellwomancentre.ie/unplanned-pregnancy/ema-step-by-step/https://www.ifpa.ie/advocacy/abortion-in-ireland-legal-timeline/https://www.abortionrightscampaign.ie/abortion-law-in-ireland/British Pregnancy Advisory ServiceYou can find me on instagram @sinead.omoore and @stretchmarkspodcastProduced by the brand storyFor brand collaborations and sponsorship please email stretchmarkspod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

  • Allison Keating - The Psychology Behind Reclaiming the Family Meal Time 03.09.2025 53m
    Bonus Episode for your September Reset:Eating together as a family (at least a few nights a week) builds stability, safety and connection and healthy food habits - and according to my guest Psychologist Allison Keating, the connection starts long before the first bite.Yes we had a summer of eating on the go but autumn, school and routine is here and its time to settle back in to the kitchen table - and here Bestselling Author Psychologist Allison Keating explains why.New research from HelloFresh reveals that family dinners in Ireland are in decline.The desire to reverse that trend is strong, with 85% wishing they could enjoy more family meals together. The biggest barriers are a lack oftime (58%), children’s busy schedules (30%) and the sheer overwhelm of weeknight chores (23%).As the pressure to “do it all” mounts with the return to school, parents admit that dinnertime hasbecome less a cherished ritual and more a daily chore they struggle to keep up with. More than 80% ofthose aged 25 to 34 say they spend less time at family dinners than they did in the past, highlightinghow quickly the tradition is fading in households with young children.Here we talk about practical solutions to reduce the overwhelm of mealtimes, why children benefit from being involved in the prep and the psychological benefits (along with nutritive) for sharing a balanced meal as many evenings as you can manage together.Supported by Hello Fresh, Ireland's No1 Recipe BoxGet 50% off your First box HERE"The 40's Stretch" is a Stretch Marks Production,Hosted by Sinéad O'Moore, produced by The Brand Story and sound edited by Alan Breslin.Contact: stretchmarkspod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

  • Aileen Cox Blundell - Why it's never too late to break beyond limiting beliefs, reset nutrition and fuel your body. 12.08.2025 1h 2m
    FINAL EPISODE of SEASON 10And so I wrap up for now with Aileen Cox Blundell, a dear friend of mine since 2017. She's the best selling author of multiple Baby Led Weaning books and creator of the hugely successful babyledfeeding.comBut she has taken an even bigger leap of faith and stretched herself beyond any limiting beliefs she carried since the day a teacher said college wasn’t for her - because with her weaning content and books thriving she knew she needed the qualifications to fulfill her mission - to meaningfully support parents and has just completed her Masters to become a registered Nutritionist. It’s taken 10 years to get to where she is now and at the end of season 10 - I salute her. And every one who has been brave enough to stretch into the women they are here to be in this world.  Food and nutrition is a pillar of our health. And when we deplete it we dont have the energy to show up in our lives with the energy to become, to grow, to love, to thrive.Thank you for listening - 10 SEASONS is a huge milestone for me.Thank you xx Supported by McCabe's Pharmacy.

Being well is all that matters. And another thing that shouldnt mean a thing - are the opinions of others especially those that have written about Sinead in tattle threads, some even commenting on how she looked at school dropoffs - because ya know that’s a measure of her as a woman! Supported by McCabe's Pharmacy.
