A week ago I attended the excellent ⁦TEDx⁩ in ⁦The Venue⁩ The theme; #ittakesavillage I heard some excellent speakers - including my friend ⁦⁦Susann Sullivan⁩ - the whole day was wonderful. Thanks ⁦Donie Wiley⁩ & his team. See y’all nxt yr

This day last week I stood on the 🔴 trembling with nerves. The response was truly overwhelming. I am so sorry to hear so many people can resonate with me but I am glad by sharing my journey I can help someone else overcome the grip of anxiety & mental health. TEDx #louthchat

#TEDxRatoath 🔴 01/06/2023 Donie Wiley Thank you for the memories, 80 yr old me will have cherished them forever 💛 The Venue TEDx #mentalhealth #anxiety #louthchat

There was speakers and performers from all walks of life. Including one who literally walked through life & up mountains with a washing machine stuck to their backs, to our very own Cillian 🎩🪄straight off the BGT stage. TEDx Ratoath 🔴 was a fantastic event. 👏 #loutchat

Finally my TEDx talk is live. TW ⚠️ An honest & real account of living with anxiety & suffering with mental health. Remember as hard as it is you're loved, you're strong & you're capable of over coming this, it does not define you!! #louthchat youtu.be/Q9QMr6-X5x4?si…

Wow, how powerful and very very true. 💔 Norwich City FC that really hit home. Let's #changethenarrative and stigma that surrounds speaking out on suffering with mental health. #MentalHealthAwareness #louthchat

Don’t be afraid. You’re going to make it, but it’s always going to feel as if you’re not. That’s the fun, you see!

Thank you for the repost James Sweeney TEDx

Daisy & I are looking forward to what 2024 brings. 2023 was a yr that tested my resilience & strength to the max. I am grateful as it provided me the opportunity to learn, upskill & grow, but I've never been more ready to close out a yr. Happy New Year to you all. #louthchat

It's hard to speak out or ask for help when your head & your heart aren't able to, I know. The reality of suffering with mental health is it does not seek to understand or provide a solution to the hurt you feel. Please don't let it get the better of you, you can get through it

Considering returning to education to upskill & gain more employment opportunities? I highly recommend applying through the RPL_Irl process. Fast track entry onto a degree course through recognition of previous skills & learning. #lifelonglearning #rpl #dkit #louthchat

Holding back from higher education because you think you're not "qualified" enough? RPL can change that by acknowledging experience & informal learning, learners can get on a pathway to Higher Education. Discover 🔗 priorlearning.ie. #RPL #YourLearningCounts #HCIPIllar3
