What happened on the night Lindsay Clancy’s children were found dead?
Welcome to the Good Glow podcast today. First of all, I just wanted to thank Centrum Multibiotics Complete for supporting the Good Glow. If you've listened to this podcast for a while, you'll know I'm always trying to make wellness less complicated. I think there was a time when I believed I had to do all of the things all of the time, but these days I'm much more interested in habits I can actually stick to and that work for me. The big thing for me is when I can understand why I'm doing something and I'm far more likely to keep doing it. Centro Multibiotics Complete is part of my morning routine. It's a daily food supplement that combines 18 scientifically selected strains for my gut with 18 essential vitamins and minerals in one capsule.
It even includes vitamin D for normal immune function and vitamin B12 to support energy release. One capsule, once a day, that's it. I don't overcomplicate things, but looking after myself is a huge priority. For me, it's the little things I do consistently that make the biggest difference. You can find Centra Multibiotics Complete and Tesco Dunn Stores Boots in-store and online. Hello and welcome to The Good Glow today. An important episode, one that I have wanted to discuss for quite a while, and that is the trial of Lindsay Clancy. If you have not heard of Lindsay Clancy before, this trial has received enormous attention around the world. And it's a very tough story. On the 24th of January 2023, about 35 miles south of Boston, a dad named Patrick Clancy left his family home for just a short time.
Inside his house was Lindsay and their three young children. Cora was five, Dawson was three and Callum was eight months old. When he returned after a trip to the pharmacy and to grab some dinner, his life had changed completely. He discovered Lindsay seriously injured outside their house. Inside, he found their three children. Cora and Dawson died that night. Callum was rushed to hospital but died several days later. Lindsay survived. She was 32 years old at the time. She worked as a labour and delivery nurse and she was charged with the murder of her three children. But the story began much sooner than January 2023. After the birth of Callan, Lindsay had been struggling with her mental health. She sought professional help over and over again.
She was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She was prescribed numerous different medications. Her defence says that on the night her children died, Lindsay was suffering from severe postpartum mental illness and was psychotic. The prosecution disputes it. They say the evidence shows a woman who knew what she was doing. The trial ended in a mistrial. Next week, we'll find out what happens next. So why did I decide to cover Lindsay Clancy today? Well, first of all, I feel like every woman that I've spoken to over the last couple of months has asked me my opinion on the trial and has also taken an opportunity to share their experience of postpartum. And it allowed me as well to reflect on on my experiences with my two children, Pia and Tali.
I share something with Clare that is so private in this conversation. And I suppose over the last kind of couple of months, I've been able to reflect on the madness of the last three years of my life since Tali came along and maybe just recognising a little bit of... I don't know if it was a little depression, but it was definitely something was a little off with me, just a lack of motivation, utter exhaustion, you know, waking up numerous times a night, not having much time for self-care, not finding the motivation for it.
How did Lindsay Clancy’s mental‑health history influence the trial narrative?
And I think sometimes when we get over the other side of something, it's only then we can see little changes in ourselves.
Yeah.
I thought it was really important to hold a space for women and their mental health in Ireland. And that is why I called on my soul sister, Clare Solon, to have this conversation with me. And before we got into this podcast, we set a little intention that this podcast would be received with love, that we could hold women's mental health in a really safe space, because that is my intention.
