Hello Lovelies! In this new episode of The Illuminare Podcast, I had the incredible opportunity of speaking with Aoibhe Conway, the face behind @lets.mind.our.minds . If you have not already followed Aoibhe on Instagram, this chat that we have will definitely make you want to. In this episode we discuss the importance of being able to say that you are not okay, the critical support you could be giving to another by simply asking them are they okay, and how we want to remove the stigma around Mental Health! This was such an interesting chat and I would definitely encourage you all to have a listen and share it with those people in your life who you might think need to hear this. 

The Samaritans phone number in Ireland is 116 123 and we encourage you to reach out if you are struggling. Other organisations such as Jigsaw and Pieta House are also always there to support and encourage you if and when you need it. Don't be afraid to reach out, it's imperative that you know you are not alone and there are so many ways of getting help, there are so many people who love you and you bring a special light to this world that no one else could! 

Text HELLO to 50808 to avail of text support. 

Call 116 123 to speak to someone over the phone.
