What unfolds is one of the most honest, heartfelt and joyful conversations the girls have had in the studio.Ashling opens up about navigating life with not one, but two children with medical diagnoses — Jake, who was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at just 20 months old, and Georgia, who was born with a visual impairment. From the moment Georgia arrived and Ashling knew something was different, to the hospital visits, the dismissals from doctors, the ICU, and ultimately the diagnosis — she tells it all with a strength and humour that will have you laughing one minute and wiping your eyes the next.But this episode isn't just about the hard parts. It's about a family that rallies around each other. It's about a husband who texts to check in, a brother who carries his sister's bag home from school every day without being asked, and a little sister whose first instinct is always to help. And it's about Georgia herself — a confident, singing, rebel-song-loving, seagull-chasing force of nature who wants to be a singer (or a youth worker, just in case).Georgia steals the show as she chats about school, independence, her love of Olivia Rodrigo AND Irish rebel songs, and what she'd say to other kids and parents going through something similar. Her wisdom at 11 years old will genuinely stop you in your tracks.Ashling's advice to new parents facing a diagnosis — \"just enjoy it, don't waste your time worrying\" — and her message to couples navigating the stress of raising children with extra needs — \"listen to each other, communicate\" — are words every parent needs to hear.This one is a banger. Don't miss it.Timecodes00:00 — Introductions: Orla and Leanne welcome Ashling and Georgia to the studio01:52 — Ashling introduces herself: from Clane, Kildare, married to Mikey for 18 years, three kids02:39 — Georgia introduces...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FUVDSkfVPC0QV4Qius2XwJXiLtOKT4vb9TebidaGyrI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mZGQ1/YmQ5MjYyMGQwMjhi/YTM0MTRiNDY1OTY1/MDIxMi5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
