In this episode, I sit down with the accomplished Leona O'Neill, the head of journalism at Ulster University, to discuss her journey from growing up in Belfast to the co-editor and author of Breaking: Trauma in the Newsroom to her current role as a mentor to the next generation of journalists. Leona shares how witnessing the death of journalist Lyra McKee triggered a trauma response and how ultimately, this led to her personal experience of post-traumatic growth. We delve into her journey of healing, from the adrenaline of chasing stories to being stalked in a coffee shop, and how she found the strength to thrive and turn her experiences into an opportunity for growth. Join us for an inspiring conversation about trauma, resilience, and the power of storytelling.

In this week's podcast episode, Stefania and I explore the intersection of yoga and psychotherapy in the context of trauma healing and intuition. We begin by discussing Stefania's personal experience with yoga and how it helped her connect with her inner knowing. We then dive into the ways in which trauma can disrupt our sense of self and how the practices of yoga and psychotherapy can complement each other in facilitating healing and restoring that connection.
Throughout the episode, we emphasise the importance of listening to one's intuition and finding a path that works best for them. We also discuss how incorporating mindfulness and body-based approaches can enhance traditional talk therapy approaches and how seeking support from qualified professionals is essential in the healing journey.
Overall, this episode offers insights into the potential benefits of integrating yoga and psychotherapy and how they can help individuals navigate their unique healing journey. We hope that it inspires listeners to explore these practices and prioritise their own self-care.
