From Crisis to Calm: Calodagh McCumiskey's Journey from Aid Work to Wellbeing

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Calodagh McCumiskey from Wexford, Ireland. We first connected through LinkedIn and immediately resonated with each other on both a personal and professional level.Calodagh has lived a truly global life, growing up in different countries before dedicating 14 years to aid work, leading teams and managing projects in high-stress environments following man-made and natural disasters. Her time in crisis zones shaped her practical, results-driven approach to wellbeing, but the transition back to everyday life was not immediate.After returning to Ireland, it took her several years to process everything she had experienced during her aid work across the world. To reconnect with herself, she turned to meditation, mindfulness, and the power of being present, allowing her to grow deeper roots and find acceptance. This journey led her into the field of personal development, where she now integrates the 12 key pillars of wellbeing—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, creative, financial, community, relationships, work, digital, purpose, and environment—ensuring a holistic and impactful experience tailored to each person’s needs.This deep understanding of whole-person wellbeing is why Calodagh and I felt so aligned, and together, we have created a transformative programme:🌿 The Wellness Blueprint – Live Online Event | Saturday, April 12th 🌿This event is designed to help you create a personalised wellness plan, with actionable tools for mindfulness, vitality, and growth—helping you find clarity, balance, and motivation in your life.Join us for this powerful conversation, and don’t miss the chance to be part of The Wellness Blueprint—your path to a healthier, more fulfilled life. 💛https://sharonfitzmauricemindfulness.com/workshops/2025/4/12/the-wellness-blueprint-online-workshopTo find out more about Calodagh's work please visit: https://spiritualearth.com/ https://innerrhythm.ie/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spiritualearth1/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/calodagh-mccumiskey-mb-faibf-1b02a522/This podcast is proud to be partnered with https://www.intothewestadventures.com This is a public episode.
