Welcome to the Behind the Yellow Door Podcast

Many of us spend our lives doing what we think we should be doing, moving through our days without truly reflecting on our deeper purpose. We often find ourselves off-course, going through the motions without ever asking, "What do I truly want? What is my purpose in life?" This can lead to a frustrating cycle of feeling stuck or unfulfilled. Today, I want to share my spiritual awakening journey, which is still unfolding. My hope is that, as you listen, this episode brings some light and clarity to your own life journey. Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy the podcast.

This episode is a quick dive into Emergency funds.  Why is it important to have assurance and insurance in every area of your life?  It can sound like another thing on the list when you're already tightening your belts, but this can be the difference between feeling a full-blown panic attack when something goes wrong, which it inevitably does, or just sorting out the problem and moving on.

In this episode I wanted to introduce myself, for anybody who doesn’t already know me.  I am telling you how I got to be in this exciting place that I find myself in today.  

This episode is a story of how a family from the Caribbean came to live in Dublin.  I want to bring you on the journey from my childhood through to today.  As with most journeys this was not a straight road, it had many twists and turns.  But as with everything in my life, I learn from all that life has to throw at me.  

At the end of this episode I hope you will have gotten to know me a little better, and be as excited as I am as we set off on this new journey together, on the Behind The Yellow Door Podcast.
