Episode notes

Final Episode - with Comedian & now Author, Emma Doran.

It’s the final episode of the summer and the season.

So to cheer us up I’m joined by one of the most successful irish comedians Emma Doran - who as it happens I booked 6 years ago for a brand launch I was leading so hang on to the end for all the reminiscing of a great night had. 

Emma has a new book “Mad isn’t it” available on presale - a memoir in fact.

At 18 just before 6th year Emma got pregnant on a trip to Courtown.

What began as her sliding down the wall in complete fear at the sight of a pregnancy test has been a life of complete strength, hustle and courage.

We talk about the promises she made to herself at 18, always working, always providing, always saving.

And that moment 10 years on when she felt brave enough to do something for her, an open mic stand up night in temple bar.

And now look at her - Mad isn’t it. 

If there was a stretch marks episode to finish on - this is it. 

It’s a life time of stretching into new versions of yourself, never staying limited by what life dealt you and as she wrote the book, acknowledging that even 21 years on from courttown, that there was still a lot of marks to heal. 

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. #ad
