Aoife Dunne - My Depression, Shame & Healing life's Traumas' Stretch
This weeks guest is a comedian, a poet, a storyteller - Aoife Dunne english_and_aoife Her observations and comedy of the Irish Mother are wildly accurate and so too are her expressions of grief, depression and finding her real identity that lay hidden under trauma for too long. It’s deep, intelligent, beautiful and it's Aoife - so it's funny. And I think it’s really important to hear. She talks about losing her mother, the shame of her dad's affair and growing up in Galway as she says - "poor". We talk about life and a defining break up at 33 that stretched her to the point of finally acknowledging her depression. And the process back to happiness. We also talk about how her success in comedy often brings derogatory comments from men. This conversation was recorded BEFORE the announcement of Natasha O’Brien’s assault case. We did not know at the time how the rest of the week would roll out - and yet you’ll hear us talk about our fears on the rise of misogyny, violence and the degrading of women’s rights. Thank you to my NEW sponsor Dove Advanced Care Body Wash for bringing their support and for creating a body wash with 24 hour moisture straight from the shower.
