It’s been a while, but Where Do I Go From Here is back! In this special episode, Katie and AnnMarie share the whirlwind journey that’s kept them offline and off the radar. What a year it’s been—ups, downs, and one very big project that demanded every ounce of their time, energy, and determination.
The duo opens up about the blood, sweat, and tears behind launching Inner Therapy, a brand-new five-office therapy space on Nás Main Street. From an empty, cold building with not a single chair to a vibrant hub serving over 200 clients weekly with a team of 15 therapists, the transformation has been nothing short of monumental.
Katie and AnnMarie reflect on the challenges, fears, and triumphs of expanding their dream, balancing family life, and pouring their hearts into creating a warm, welcoming environment for healing. Inner Therapy is not just a space—it’s a reflection of their belief in vulnerability, connection, and the power of processing life’s toughest moments.
This episode is a heartfelt catch-up, a look back on an extraordinary year, and a celebration of resilience. Tune in to hear their journey, feel their passion, and maybe, just maybe, find a little inspiration for your own next chapter.

Caroline, known for her authenticity and raw honesty on TikTok, emerges as a beacon of mental health advocacy and genuine connection in the realm of social media. Despite facing her fair share of challenges, Caroline's journey has taken a positive turn, with her days now filled with more ups than downs.

Series 3, Episode 3. Trigger Warning - This episode contains a conversation about Sexual Assault.
In this episode, we have the profound honour of sharing Denise Conway's story—a narrative she courageously chose to tell through us. The term "brave" is frequently used, but it unequivocally applies to Denise in every sense. Her bravery shines through in her decision to report her sexual assault, navigating the deeply challenging process of examinations, inquiries, and a legal trial. It's seen in her resilience to live life with the fullest, as a proud mother, a loving sister and daughter, happily married to a man she sees as a blessing. Denise's bravery is once again evident as she decides to divulge the harrowing details of her experience. Her aim is to cast a light on the struggles faced by sexual assault survivors and offer solace to those who have felt voiceless.
This conversation serves as a reminder of the strength found in speaking out and the solace in shared experiences. Denise's story is a beacon of hope and resilience, encouraging a dialogue that fosters understanding, healing, and change.

Episode 2 of Series 3 and Annmarie and Katie were joined in the studio by Tara Thompson. Tara is a trauma informed yoga & meditation teacher (in training) who recently rediscovered her love of writing and is presently in the middle of editing her memoir, The Quest, A Healing Journey from Trauma. The conversation took our hosts and guest deep into Tara's life, especially the last chapter as she went from 'last one standing' party girl to the much quieter and thoughtful mindfulness practitioner and writer. Tara had always felt that something wasn't quite right and it was only when she stepped onto the path of healing and self-love that she discovered something terrible had happened in her past. Tara had buried her childhood abuse but if she really wanted to heal, as painful as it was, she was going to have to dig it all back up again.
Trigger warning - This episode contains conversations about abuse and childhood trauma.

Today's episode of Where do I go from here? we have the incredible Anita Meenehan, sharing her truly extraordinary story of how she managed to turn her family’s horrific tragedy into a powerful life philosophy that focuses on helping others.
On a morning in April, 1995 Anita was woken up by the smell of smoke. Her house was on fire and in it were her mother, her 4 year old brother, and her babies - one of which was only 12 weeks old at the time. Devastatingly, her mother and brother did not survive the blaze.
Anita explains the trauma and the grief that she experienced over the years. It was her new responsibility to take care of her siblings that kept her alive, although she felt like she died with the fire.
One day, something changed, and she found her strength again. She wanted to live her life again, in honour of her mother.
Anita is a powerful, kind woman who's mission is to help anyone that is in need.
This was a truly inspiring conversation.

For anybody who is listening and has experienced childhood trauma, the past is not in the past, but the worst has already happened, and you survived it. The war is over, the body doesn't know it yet, but it will get to know it, and you are going to be okay!

Sian went through an extremely difficult journey with her fertility, suffering from 7 miscarriages and nearly a decade of trying different methods to try and have a baby with her husband. On this episode, Sian shares her journey with learning about her body and her fertility.
They began with IVF, but after multiple failed rounds resulting in miscarriage, her egg quality was finally brought into question and they realised that this could have been the issue. Sian shares that if the medical experts had looked identified this sooner, it could have prevented so much loss and grief for her and her husband.
Sian tried absolutely everything she could to try and have a baby. She tried IVF with an egg doner, and when that resulted in having to have a termination, she was left thinking Where do I go from here?
After years of stress, grief, and loss, her and her husband sat down to try and create a new picture for the rest of their lives and move on from the traumatic past few years.
Sian ends the episode telling us how much she loves her life right now! She has so much meaning and purpose in her life and wants to be a voice for the women that have been through infertility and who haven't had success with IVF.
