Double D Live Returns: Catching Up, No Notes, No Filter

Double D Live is back on the air, or near enough. It has been well over a year since Sarah Elebert and Muireann O'Toole Brennan last hit record, and this episode picks the show back up exactly the way it always ran: two friends, no notes, no running order, just a text that morning asking, "Any chance you're free for a record tonight?" What follows is an unfiltered, unstructured catch-up between two co-hosts who had a lot of ground to cover.The conversation moves through the year in between: a genuinely tough stretch for Muireann, balancing a difficult family health situation with a full-time return to work; a lovely family story about her late aunt's house in Dublin now home to the next generation; new eyebrows and an honest verdict on microblading; a groom's-eye view of Dublin Horse Show week; the sporting moments that stopped them both in their tracks this year; Untamed, the book that has cost Sarah some sleep and that Muireann has now added to her own list; and a first cacao and reiki ceremony that did not go the way she expected. Sarah brings her own year into it too, from baby Shay to getting back in the saddle.In this episode:Why Double D Live went quiet for over a year, and why this episode happened with zero preparationMuireann on a genuinely hard year: a difficult family health situation, a full-time return to work, and what she has learned about her own routine and headspaceA warm family story: how her late aunt's house in Dublin has become home to the next generation of the familyNew eyebrows and a microblading verdict, the honest kindA groom's-eye view of Dublin Horse Show week, including her friend Claire's win, and some plain feedback on how little information grooms are given on the dayWhy Gemma Stevens's Burghley win and Katie Taylor's retirement both landed hard this week, and what the completion stats at Burghley actually showed about women at the sharp end of the sportUntamed by Glennon Doyle, and why Muireann is reading it nextMuireann's first cacao and reiki ceremony, and the release she wasn't expectingSarah's year: baby Shay, a surprise return to the dressage arena with Hallie, and her own daughters' first steps into ridingLinks and resources mentioned:Sarah's website: sarahelebert.comEquitas livestream on Dublin Horse Show, featuring Shane, Muireann and Claire: Find it HereUntamed by Glennon Doyle (book) Instagram handles for Sarah, Muireann & Equitas Note on this episode: Double D Live doesn't have a fixed recording schedule right now, by choice.
