Digg Podcast

CAROLINE O'NEILL

The Digg Podcast is about making a difference in life and business. In my opinion, there is no way the two can be separated.

Throughout the podcast, I will speak to people who are doing inspiring things in the business world but also those who have a personal story to tell.

I hope you learn from and become inspired by what you hear, realising that we can all make a difference no matter what path we take in life. Thank you for listening.

    Sandra Devenney is the General Manager of McElhinneys, one of Ireland’s most iconic fashion retailers, and the driving force behind the ‘Sandra’s Five at Five’ online community. But behind the fashion, leadership and online confidence is a story of bankruptcy, financial hardship and rebuilding when everything fell apart.

She also speaks openly about the loss of her baby, her passion for Down Syndrome advocacy, turning 50, body confidence, women’s health and building a positive online community rooted in authenticity. This is an honest conversation about financial recovery, personal growth, midlife confidence, and finding strength when everything falls apart.
