Brenda Dennehy

When people think of Eleanor Doyle, they'll probably think of the funny videos, the positivity and the woman from Killarney who always seems to have a smile on her face.

But behind the humour is a story of survival, a story of domestic abuse, fear, violence and trying to protect three young children while carrying more than anyone should ever have to carry.

In this episode, Eleanor talks about physical abuse,

The night her former partner tried to strangle her where she genuinely thought she was going to die, how her nine-year-old son tried to pull a grown man off his mother and threats made against her home and feeling so broken.

She describes being seven and a half stone, unable to eat, feeling like her soul had been ripped out of her body while wondering how she was ever going to raise three children alone.

But this conversation is not only about trauma, it's about survival.

Because the woman you'll hear today is not the woman abuse tried to destroy.

Today, Eleanor is helping others, raising her children and proving that even the darkest chapters do not always get the final say.

The episode is raw, honest and heartbreaking.

But above all else, it's a comeback.
