Saoirse Fitzgerald has lived a life full of surprising turns. Some of them beautiful, some of them heartbreaking, all of them shaped by a steady trust in her own instinct.In this conversation she brings us from childhood days spent painting and dressing up her little sister, through dreams of the Rose of Tralee, the shock of her family home burning down, the spiral of failing exams, and the courage it took to rebuild her confidence. We follow her to Germany, back to Cork, through the corporate world and then into the quiet cliffs of Youghal, where she restored an old lighthouse keeper’s home into something magical.Saoirse shows us how resilience can form quietly over years. How failure can become a teacher. How a childhood spent around psychiatric care can help us see people first rather than labels. And how sometimes the most extraordinary life decisions begin with something as small as a teacher describing ice cream.This episode is about instinct, community, courage and the kind of hope that rebuilds more than houses.Let me know your thoughts on this eposideWebsiteInstagram TwitterFacebook
