Tis Yourself (Nicola Bardon)

In Dublin's Fair City...

If you have ever caught an episode of the soap, you'll know my next guest! He has played Damien Halpin for over 20 years and is a famous face in Irish households.

But off screen, he has been struggling and while he is on the mend now, it took some time to get to where he is. 

A very honest and open chat

In this episode, I talk to homeless advocate and campaigner Fr Peter McVerry.

I am BACK! That is right, season 6 is here!

I have missed recording weekly for you all so I brought an amazing guest along! The wonderful Glen Power from The Script is here to talk about how he got into music and the band, the highs and lows of being on the road, shunning fame and of course, losing Mark Sheehan last year.

Glen often stayed in the background in the band so it was wonderful to hear his thoughts, his gratitude, his fears and his feelings on so many topics.

This is one that #TheScriptFamily will love but even those who are not huge fans.

We talk the acting jobs he loved and hated, and we remember the late Andre Braugher.

I am SO EXCITED for you all to hear this episode!

I was so grateful to get to chat to Shona about her life and career. We talked all things Eastenders- from the storylines, the love interests and the legends that graced the Square.

We also talked about how she got into acting, starting her career as a teen, and leaving to do live theatre, and why hearing Jaysus Christ in an Irish audience made her feel she was doing something right!

And we also talk about how a DM slide can sometimes be a good thing, and lead to love...

This is truly a brilliant episode.

Cormac, who you may know from Love Island, or from his fitness journey on Instagram, opens up about his addictions and how they nearly killed him.

He talks about how he faked being well to go on Love Island and why he thinks now he shouldn't have been there.

He opens up about his relapses and what it took to get to seek help.

Truly inspiring, and also hopeful, to show there is help out there and light at the end of the tunnel.

Sorry for the delay between episodes but I am so excited to bring you this chat with Ali!

As many of you might know, she recently discovered she had breast cancer and has gone through treatment, with her husband, family, neighbours and loved ones providing endless love and support.

In this chat, we discuss her cancer journey, how she found out she had it just weeks after moving to Ireland, and how the people she least expected turned up for her.

We also talk TV, being a star in the era of the lads mags and the naughties, that teacher-student affair storyline and why we are both aiming for the small wins from now on.

Ali is the loveliest guest you could hope for, so open, honest and goddamn hilarious!

I hope you enjoy. If you are worried about yourself and anything we discussed, please seek medical help. The Irish Cancer Society have loads of info on cancer.ie, in the UK, try breastcanceruk.org or the helpline closest to you.

The refffferreeee's a legend!

You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today!

David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA.

And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum.

Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4 with David at the helm, called Misneach: Bród sa Spórt, which looks at our sports and if they are a safe place for gay players.

You can watch it back on the TG4 player.

In this chat we discuss everything from doorknocking for permission to get married, to why it's harder to ref a small club game than a full house at Croker.

I hope you enjoy.

So far this series I have been chatting to celebrities about their stories, but this week I am talking to the man who helps celebrities!

Max is the founder of the Matchstick Group, whose job it is to look after celebrities.

He founded the company after one of the worst year's of his life, and it is now the light for him after all the darkness.

And for him, he wanted to make sure his company has a mental health message with a difference.

Oh, and which celeb makes an appearance!

Sunday October 10 is World Mental Health Day. 

If you don't know Shane's story you might be wondering why I am linking him with this.

Not only is he a Pieta ambassador, but he is also a survivor. Someone who had his battles with his mental health but he made a huge step- he asked for help.

While he was lifting the Sam Maguire, inside he was sinking, but reaching out gave him help, guidance, tools and a love for living again.

A very important chat.
