Holly Cairns - My Leadership Stretch

Season Finale Holly Cairns - leader of the Social Democrats joins me to talk about her stretch as a women new to politics and what has motivated her to want positive change. I have admired Holly's ability to stand in the Dáil and speak on issues with empathy, humanity and an authenticity we don't always see.We talk about Gaza, how her view of politics and the world has changed - her experience of sexism, agism and intimidation - her rise through politics and why we need more women using their voices, their votes and their value for the world we all hope to see. Thank you Holly for giving me your time less than 48 hours after Leo resigned.So that's it. Another season of stretch marks is over.We talked about our bodies, our fertility, self worth, mental health, hyperemesis, nicu, the referendum, brain tumours, nervous system regulation and leadership. Big topics. Deep topics. But I hope conversations that have supported anyone in the depths of their own unique stretch. So for now - thank you for every listen, share and review. And to my sponsor of this Season Carriwell available at CleverClogs.
