A Live Online Mindful Pause for International Women’s Day
Friday 6th March | 2:15pm – 3pm | Via Zoom

In honour of International Women’s Day, you are warmly invited to step out of the pace of productivity and into a space of calm, steadiness and quiet reflection.

This live 45-minute session offers a gentle pause — an opportunity to reconnect with what truly matters amidst the demands of work and life.

Inspired by the words “function at a pace that doesn’t pull you apart,” this gathering will include a guided meditation followed by a short reflection designed to support nervous system regulation, mental clarity and inner ease.

There is nothing to achieve in this space. Nothing to prove. Just a moment to remember that your peace, your health of mind, and your heart matter.

This session is live only and will not be recorded — an intentional invitation to make time the gift it is.

Booking via my website https://eilisogrady.ie/book-events/ (link in bio).
Included as part of Patreon membership.

When you’re at the end of your life, how will you answer these questions…
·      did you have a good time?
·      did you follow what called to you?
·      or will there be too many should haves?

In this episode, I’m joined by Susan O’Shea from Clonmel, a meditation and yoga teacher, a Reiki practitioner, and someone whose life journey beautifully reflects courage, curiosity, and continual reinvention.

Susan shares her deeply human, non-linear path — from working in kitchens, retail, hairdressing, and running her own bakery, to discovering running, Reiki, yoga, meditation, and later stepping onto a fitness model stage at the age of 48.

Together, we explore what it means to listen to inner nudges, face self-doubt, and keep saying yes to growth — even when fear or comparison shows up.

This is a heartfelt conversation about identity, resilience, and learning to stay in your own lane — both literally and metaphorically.

We Talk About:
🌿 Growing up working from a young age and following curiosity rather than a single “career path”
🌿 Opening and closing a bakery — and redefining failure and success
🌿 Motherhood, work, and carrying the mental load quietly in the background
🌿 Discovering running later in life — from lamppost-to-lamppost to completing a marathon
🌿 Reiki, yoga teacher training, and how the fear of being judged and self-doubt can keep dreams “under the rug”
🌿 Entering a fitness model competition at 48
🌿 Finding meditation, finding yourself and reclaiming confidence
🌿 Learning to stop comparing, trust your own pace, and stay in your lane

Susan also shares about beginning a new meditation class at Lavish Wellness in Clonmel starting on 17th February, designed especially for people who feel they “can’t meditate” — offering a gentle, welcoming introduction to stillness, presence, and self-trust.

Working with Thoughts: A Mindful Way to Relate to Thinking

Podcast available on Patreon (link in bio), Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

In this solo episode, Eilís shares a teaching from her newly released introductory mindfulness course, focusing on one of the most challenging aspects of practice: our relationship with thoughts.

Drawing on mindfulness-based frameworks, neuroscience, and compassionate awareness, this episode explores why the mind thinks the way it does — and how we can learn to work with thinking rather than be overwhelmed by it.

This episode can be listened to as a standalone reflection or as an introduction to Eilís’ wider introduction to mindfulness self led course.

In this episode...

Why thoughts are often the most challenging part of mindfulness practice

The S.I.T.E. framework: sensations, impulses, thoughts and emotions

What “mental noting” / ‘labelling” is and how it helps create space from thinking

Why mind-wandering is not a failure — but the practice itself

How thoughts filter reality and shape our emotions and reactions

The role of neuroplasticity in changing habitual patterns

Common myths about mindfulness

Why kindness is the foundation of any mindfulness practice

“What is the thing that you’ve done in the last couple of years that has had the biggest return on investment for you?”

In this episode of Journeys to Wellbeing, I’m joined by Rachael Shorten, a life and wellness coach who supports people in finding clarity, balance, confidence, and a deeper sense of agency — especially during times of change.

Rachael, who is a mum of three and has a busy career in financial services, shares her own journey to discovering the transformational power of coaching as a space for reflection, growth, and meaningful change. Together, we explore what coaching really is (and what it isn’t), how mindset shapes the way we experience life, and the small steps that can help us move forward when we feel stuck.

🌿 We Talk About:

🌿 Rachael’s path into coaching — and the moment she knew she was “home”

🌿 The mindset shift that changes everything: clarity comes from action

🌿 Common themes clients bring to coaching, including people-pleasing and burnout

🌿 Boundaries, self-responsibility, and reclaiming your time and energy

🌿 Practical wellbeing foundations: sleep, movement, and flexible routines

🌿 The power of self-talk, and how thoughts shape feelings and behaviour

🌿 Coaching as a supportive space to reconnect with yourself, your values, and what matters most

🌿 Rachael’s interest in training as a breathwork facilitator and the mind–body connection

🌿 Why investing in yourself often gives the highest return on investment

Rachael brings a grounded, compassionate approach to coaching and shares powerful insights around moving from fixed thinking into possibility — reminding us that we don’t need the full plan in order to begin. Often, the smallest step is the one that changes everything.

She also shares how her own wellbeing practices — especially sleep, exercise, gratitude, and flexibility — help her stay resourced and present, both for her clients and her family.
