S17 Ep5: The Good Glow - Millie Mackintosh - Bad Drunk

From the outside looking in, Millie Mackintosh seems to have it all—beautiful kids, a gorgeous husband, and a picture-perfect life. But today, Millie shares with the world that behind the curtain she was a Bad Drunk. For a long time, Millie convinced herself she didn’t have a problem, numbing her pain with alcohol. But three years ago, things spiraled to the point where she knew she had to make a change. Today, we talk about Millie’s rock bottom, how press photos nearly broke her, her past relationship with Professor Green, attending her first AA meeting, and how speaking her truth has finally set her free.  Millie's Book - Bad Drunk AA Ireland Samaritans phone number - 116123

Sarah Corbett Lynch is my guest on The Good Glow today. At 3.15am on August 2nd 2015, eight year old Sarah was lifted from her bed by a Davidson Country police officer and carried downstairs shielded from the chaos that had broken out around her. Hours passed before Sarah learned that her dad Jason was dead. And the people who killed him were Sarah’s stepmother Molly Martens and her father Tom. It’s a story that has gripped the nation for many years and today Sarah tells her story about her life in North Carolina with her Dad, Molly, and her brother Jack, and the truth about what her life was like behind closed doors.  Order Sarah’s book A Time For Truth Thank you Electrosal.ie

Listen to our main podcast here. Nicola Hanney has survived stage 4 breast cancer twice. In her book Stronger, she discusses her cancer journey and since then, she's been asked to dive deeper into the topic. So today, we sit down to have a real heart to heart. We hope you enjoy! Get in touch with Georgie HERE. 

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.
