S17 Ep10: The Good Glow - Talking Bollox

Today, we share a story that is deeply moving, and this is not a sad story, I promise you that. This is a story of true resilience, overcoming and gratitude. And it will inspire you to appreciate every minute and afterwards, your heart will be full. Tracy Holmes lives in Greystones with her family. Her son Harry was born in 2018 and shortly afterwards, Tracy and her husband Andrew, decided to try for a second. Shocked, she discovered she was expecting twins. And when Theo and Freddie were born, Tracy was told Freddie has Down syndrome. What could have broken her made her see how strong she really is. One particular low day, it was an interaction with a lady who was cleaning in Crumlin hospital that changed everything for her. Then a sign from the universe cemented her hope even more. Freddie has defied all odds, he is changing the world with his spirit and determination, and once you listen to this podcast with Tracy, it isn’t hard to see where he got it from.

Calvin O'Brien and Terence Flower aka as the creators of the Talking Bollox podcast join me on the podcast today. They had one intention when they started their podcast and that was to change the perception of the North Inner City. That they’ve done and more. 300 episodes later, multiple sell out live shows, the lads have not only changed people’s perception but have become trailblazers, pillars of their community, champions for sobriety. In a world that is paying very close attention to Donald Trump, Andrew Tate and toxic men, they are exactly what we need and excellent role models for young people in Ireland. I loved every second of this episode and I hope you do too. Listen to their Tony O'Reilly episode  Thank you Electosal for supporting The Good Glow this season.

It's part 2 of my conversation with Nicola Hanney. Please listen to the first part of our conversation on Apple or Spotify Nicola met Garda Paul Moody in 2017. Just before meeting him, she survived a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and was beginning to rebuild her life. After months of dating, Paul began to show signs of abuse, using threats and violence to control her. The abuse got so bad that over 14 hours in July 2018, Nicola received 652 messages from Paul. In July 2022, Paul Moody was sentenced to three years in prison for coercive control—becoming one of the first in the State to be convicted of this type of abuse.
