Unforeseen Circumstances With Susan Fox

S3 EP4 - "REINVENTION'

Today's guest is Gary Fox. Some of you will know Gary as the host of the hugely successful ‘The Entrepreneur Experiment podcast’, but today we talk about his journey off-microphone. From unsuccessful IVF rounds with his wife, to losing a multi-million euro business during Covid and finding new meaning in fatherhood, his perspective on resilience and emotional vulnerability is a powerful listen. 

S3 EP3 - "How To Save A Life"

Chloe is today's guest. She talks balancing a potentially fatal illness with being a mother, a wife and living life to the absolute fullest and on her terms, having received the gift of life from a stranger. 

S3 EP2 - "Dying Of The Light"

What would you do if the world you know and love started disappearing before your very eyes?
Today’s guest is Bobby. Bobby is full of life, loves fashion, horse riding, concerts, musicals and many other things any 25 year old girl would love.  She is also preparing to say goodbye to the little bit of sight she has left.
She talks navigating the world, strangers, family, love and her own emotions as the sun begins to set on her vision. 

S3 EP1 - "Hurt People Heal People" with Nicola Connolly-Byrne

Welcome Back! In the first episode of Season 3, Susan talks to Empowerment Specialist Nicola Connolly-Byrne about how an early life of wrong turns lead her down a path of lighting the way for others. Her sage words and sharp tongue are the tonic some of us just might need to help take back control. 

S2 EP6 - "No Justice. No Peace?" - Sally Foran

In the final episode of season 2, Susan chats to health and beauty entrepreneur Sally Foran, AKA the Irish Beauty Fairy. Whilst her public success is clear, her private pains have been unimaginably punishing. From losing a healthy child at birth to medical negligence, two siblings to a heart defect and a home to an ex-partner, her grace in the face of life’s biggest challenges is almost incomprehensible. She is, quite literally, a one-woman army. 
 

S2 EP5 - "All Gas. No Light" - Nikki Dwyer.

Susan chats to lawyer and entrepreneur Nikki Dwyer. Having forged a  successful career in law, Nikki invested her trust, love and LOTS of money into someone she thought was the man of her dreams. Little did she know, it was the start of a seven year nightmare. Gaslighting, a double-life, infidelity and every toxic thing in-between. Nikki’s story is a Netflix series waiting to happen
 
Her journey from surviving to thriving is nothing short of a miracle. This episode will have you on the edge of your seat. 

S2 EP4 - "Success. Sexuality. Skin." - Jennifer Rock

Susan chats to entrepreneur Jennifer Rock, also known as the Skin Nerd and founder of titan brand, Skingredients.  While many of you know Jennifer as an impressive business woman, this may be the first time you’ve heard her personal story. From becoming a mother at 18 in a much more conservative Ireland, to realising later in life that she was gay, I’m so honoured Jennifer opened up about the story behind the success. 
 
She is funny, feisty and ferocious. 

S2 EP 3 - "When Cancer Calls" - Donna-Marie Cullen

Today on the pod, we chat to Donna Cullen. Donna went from a happy life to being diagnosed with a form of cancer which required surgery that quite literally involved moving parts of her body around like a jigsaw puzzle, in order to reconfigure her face. It is the most extraordinary story and the fact that Donna laughs her way through telling it is more extraordinary still. 

S2 EP2 - "Get Busy Living" - Laura Dignam

We’ve all had little niggles in our bodies and thought “oh I must get that checked out”… Today’s guest Laura Dignam did exactly that, but was certainly not expecting an MS diagnosis on the other end. 
Having been diagnosed at 28, she talks finding love, being a mother and learning that free time trumps money, every time. 
Laura’s relentlessly positive attitude and refusal to see herself as a victim is the tonic we all need and a wonderful dose of perspective.

S2 EP1 - Grief. Gratitude. Growth - Ingrid Tuite

In the first episode of Season Two, Susan talks to friend Ingrid Tuite about making a happy life with husband Dave, only to lose him to a sudden, unexplained and fatal illness. From processing such a life-grenade, rebuilding, finding love again and never taking anything or anyone for granted, Ingrid will lift up your spirits with her bravery and ability to smile again.
