In this episode, Caroline opens up about her life in Australia, building 'A County Down Under' global community, her decision to return to Ireland, her personal growth after ending a relationship, and the transformative power of sobriety. We delve into how she navigates the often harsh world of social media trolling and offers her advice on overcoming negativity online and in real life. Caroline’s story is one of resilience, healing, and finding purpose amidst life’s biggest challenges. An honest and empowering conversation that touches on mental health, wellness, and the importance of self-care.
