Clare McKenna is a well-known broadcaster and host of the Alive & Kicking show on Newstalk, a programme that looks at ‘health’ in the widest sense of the word.

She is also a health coach with a mission to help people find what works for them to live life with more vitality and repair relationships with food and body.

In this conversation Clare kindly shared with me some aspects of her life journey that brought her to the world of broadcasting, but also some lovely stories about her dad, her family and the importance of friendships and connections.
