What hidden struggles does Eleanor Doyle face behind her social media persona?
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. If this story resonates with you, please leave a comment and hit that subscribe button. It really helps.

We meet once again. We do, yes. Eleanor and I... Was it five, six weeks ago?
Yeah, about that, about five or six weeks ago.
You were here on Red FM with me and we did the podcast. We did. We did a great podcast. And then you came back and you said you wanted to redo it.
Yeah.
And your reasons for redoing it were?
The reasons I wanted to redo it was, I suppose I didn't tell my full story and I just felt that I didn't do myself justice or my story or my family or for people that are following me, you know, and I really wanted to... put my story out there because I can't help people unless I am going to tell my story myself and, you know, to be open and an open book in it, I suppose. Yeah.
And I actually feel you're more comfortable now as well.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. She was very bad the last time.
You were? You weren't, I still would have released it.
Yeah, I know, but I just didn't. I just was, you know, when your gut says something and I just said to myself, no, I need, you know, and I kind of said it to, you know, my own gang at home, the kids, I suppose, because I was saying to her on her way up, I was like, I was just very kind of like tiptoeing around it for them, you know, and I think it's when I said it to them and they gave me their blessing. They're like, mom, it's your time now and to tell your story. Yeah, so...
Well, here we are. We're going to do it twice. Twice is nice. Yeah, it is. I'm delighted to see you again. And I think I started off the last podcast saying, I thought you were from Cork with the accent. And I think a lot of people will think from Instagram. Yeah. So I was like, where is this one from in Cork? Because it's like, usually on Instagram, if you're from Cork, if you're from Kerry, you will know someone on your own country. Who's that one? No, I don't know, because Ireland's so small.
It is, yeah. And you're not from Cork. You're from? No, I'm from Kerry. Yeah. And I'm from Killarney and I live in Kymere.
amazing yeah isn't it mad and everyone always thinks you've got such a cork accent like yeah I don't know it's a more clarity side or something I don't know but everyone always says it yeah so you're from good old county Kerry yeah just over the border and I'm wearing the Kerry colours yeah that's it you're wearing the yellow as well yeah Eleanor you kind of burst on the scenes on Instagram I know you're on TikTok as well I don't really use TikTok myself but you burst on the scene and what I came across you kind of do your stories yeah kind of real life mum stories yeah
