About this episode

Caoimhe McGinley shares her story of heartbreak and resilience after personal struggles in the public eye.

This week, I’m joined by one of Ireland’s best-known content creators, Caoimhe McGinley. Many will know Caoimhe from The Big Hill House, but behind the beautiful home and social media posts is a story of heartbreak, resilience and rebuilding. In this honest conversation, Caoimhe opens up about the breakdown of her marriage, navigating such a difficult time in the public eye, raising her four children, and the devastating loss of a baby through miscarriage at almost 17 weeks pregnant. For the first time publicly, she also speaks about a defamation case that she says became one of the lowest points of her life, how it affected her personally and professionally, and why she has chosen to tell her story now. This is a conversation about heartbreak, hope and proving that, no matter what life throws at you, you can come back stronger.
