The DMC Podcast
Some conversations stay with you forever.
The DMC Podcast is a space for real talk, the kind that’s raw, unfiltered, and deeply human.
Scripted interviews have no place here !
It is safe space for honest conversations, personal reflections, and meaningful chats with people from all walks of life.
Born from my own journey, touching on my struggles with mental health, losing my dad, and wishing I had just one more conversation with him, this podcast is a place to capture voices, memories, and stories that matter. Because we all have something worth sharing, and our words have the power to connect us in ways we never expect.
So grab a cup of tea or your favourite drink, get comfortable, and join the conversation. This is a space where you can show up exactly as you are. No filters. No expectations. Just deep and meaningful chats that remind us we’re never alone. 💙

Episode 20 - From Trauma Loops to Feeling Safe in the Body with Orla O’Flaherty
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I am joined by Orla O’Flaherty, naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist and somatic embodiment facilitator.
We talk about her personal journey starting with a misdiagnosis of clinical depression at 13, which later turned out to be a thyroid dysfunction that was missed at the time. From there, Orla shares her experience navigating mental health, self-harm, an eating disorder, and how this shaped her understanding of the connection between trauma, the nervous system, and the body.
We explore shame, relapse, emotional patterns, and what it really means to do the work beyond intellectual understanding. Orla also breaks down somatic therapy, nervous system responses, and how stress and emotional cycles can show up physically in the body.
If you would like to connect with Orla further or enquire about her work you can find her at https://www.instagram.com/orla_naturopath_herbalist/
