Who is Caoimhe McGinley and what is The Big Hill House?
This week I'm joined by one of Ireland's best known content creators, Quiva McGinley. Many of you will know Quiva from the Big Hill House on Instagram, but behind the beautiful home and social media posts. Із ума'с опять вкредил харб. In this honest conversation, Kiva opens up about the breakdown of her marriage, navigating divorce in the public eye, raising her four children. And the devastating miscarriage at almost seventeen weeks pregnant. For the first time publicly, she also shares the story of a defamation case that she says became one of the lowest points of her life. How it affected her personally and professionally. And why she has chosen to speak about it now. This is a conversation about resilience, hope, and proving that no matter what life throws at you, you can come back stronger.

We met a couple of weeks ago at the Canela Knights by Canela Lane. Wild evening it was. And you were on stage we were both on stage together on a panel, and I think I would have seen you on your Instagram. Like you're very open on your Instagram, but you got very vulnerable.
Yeah.
On stage.
Yeah.
And I think you probably shocked yourself that evening, did you?
Yeah.
I
always like I I just don't I block a lot out to get through my days and then it's only whenever you're sitting in a position like that and Sienna had asked me to talk about, you know, supporting women and it does it does get get me. It's women that have gotten me through the last three years, so It's only when you're sitting in a room with women that I suppose you feel safe enough to open up like that.
Before you were speaking there was Julie, the MC was like shh shh but when you spoke, she didn't need to do that because you couldn't hear a penny drop and people were so invested in you.
How did Caoimhe’s childhood on a dairy farm shape her resilience?
And people love vulnerability.
Yeah.
They absolutely love it because you're just showing that you're like everyone else going through this.
Yeah, it's been hard navigating a divorce with public pres presence, for sure. And there's no guidebook on it. I've just had two I suppose use everything I've learned over my years of travelling and my parents and how they've raised me to cope with it all. Yeah. And to manage it. But yeah, I suppose it's not easy to talk about. But it's a very massive part of my life. And of course then it's my job to be online. So I couldn't not be online as I have four small children to support. So I had to find a way. To I suppose show that vulnerability while still keeping as much as I could private.
Yeah. And we're going to get to all how it all came out on Instagram, The Big Hill House is your page and everything that's happened you 'cause there's been many highs and many, many lows. But for people who might not know Quiva, can you tell me where you grew up and what it was like?
Yeah, I grew up uh on my dad's farm in County Tyrone. He was a dairy farmer, so There's no rest for the wicked. That's what we grew up with, being dragged out of a bed. Most s weekend mornings to either collect eggs when we used to have the hens and then in later years in the dairy farming. So My brother and sister were definitely better at helping out on the farm. I was always more inclined to be off Gallivantin. So it was a lovely way to grow up though, the core childhood memories that we have from it and the work ethic I suppose that's where I get it from, seeing my parents and what they they they didn't have easy years either and we were together through all of that and the pressure and financial pressure of of dairy farming back in those days, you know, so they were resilient and I suppose that's where I've learnt my resilience from.
