About this listen

In this episode I speak with Bláthnaid Healy, an award-winning editor and newsroom leader who recently moved back to Ireland from the UK where she worked for BBC News, CNN and Mashable. She is now embarking on a new chapter in Dublin starting a business venture and consulting for media companies. She completed the Flexible Executive MBA in 2024.

Bláthnaid shares what it was like to return to home Ireland after over a decade abroad. What she expected, what surprised her, and how it feels to come “home” when you have changed. From professional identity shifts to unexpected moments of disconnection. She reflects on what it means to re-root in a place you once called home and how the familiar can feel strangely unfamiliar after a life lived elsewhere.
