About the Show
I’m Laura O’Donoghue, and welcome to Made of More. I’m so glad you’re here. This podcast is all about the strength we discover in ourselves when life doesn’t go to plan - the kind of strength that comes from setbacks, tough moments, and the unexpected turns that shape who we are.
Every week, I’ll be sitting down with people who’ve lived through real challenges and found a way to rise, rebuild, or completely reinvent themselves.
These aren’t just stories of struggle, they’re stories of growth, and that courage we don’t always realise we have. There’ll be plenty of honesty, a few laughs, and hopefully some moments that stay with you long after the episode ends.
This season of Made of More is sponsored by Empower Fitness, Carlow. Train with world-class coaches and join classes built for lifelong results. Get stronger. Feel better. Be empowered. Find them on Instagram @empowerfitnesscarlow.
