In today’s episode of the Effortless Attraction Podcast, I am joined by the incredible Nic Russell.

Originally from County Down in the North of Ireland, Nic is now a Kiwi by choice, having lived in Auckland, New Zealand for almost 30 years.

Nic’s story is one that will truly stay with you.

In 2005, while undergoing treatment for breast cancer herself, her three-year-old daughter Kenzie was also in treatment. Tragically, Kenzie passed away that same year.

In the years that followed, Nic faced further life-changing challenges, including heart failure which led to a heart transplant, and a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.

And yet, when you meet Nic, what you feel is not defeat.

You feel strength.

You feel gratitude.

You feel humour.

You feel a woman who continues to live.

She swims in the sea, walks along the beachfront, and lives each day doing what her body allows with appreciation.

Through her son Connor, who she absolutely adores, Nic recognised that there was very little support available for children dealing with grief.

From that, she created something extraordinary.

Nic is the founder of Kenzie’s Gift, a charity set up in her daughter’s memory, now supporting thousands of families across New Zealand navigating serious illness and loss.

Her first memoir, Bollix, is due for release in 2026, and I have no doubt it will touch so many lives.

This conversation is real, emotional, and deeply inspiring.

It is about death, but also about how we choose to live in spite of it.

Even in the week we recorded this, Nic’s beloved dog Billy of 15 years had died, and still she showed up with warmth, honesty, and that same beautiful spirit.

She truly is a woman worth listening to, following, and sharing.

You’ll find all of Nic’s social media links below, so please do connect with her and support the incredible work she is doing.

Your Body Remembers Everything | Paddy Morrison | Effortless Attraction Podcast

In this episode of the Effortless Attraction Podcast, Evelyn McAleer is joined by Paddy Morrison, founder of Morrliving Limited, based in Coleraine, County Derry.

After more than twenty years working as a chartered accountant, Paddy took a powerful leap of faith at the age of forty and retrained as a Neuro-Muscular Therapist. Since then he has studied many approaches to understanding the body and how pain presents itself.

In this conversation we explore a fascinating concept: the body holds a memory of everything we have experienced in our lives. What we often see as physical pain may actually be the body communicating deeper emotional or energetic patterns that have been stored over time.

Evelyn has also experienced Paddy’s work first-hand while he has been here in Spain and would have no hesitation in recommending his work.

This is a powerful discussion about the body, healing and learning to listen to the signals our body gives us.

If you would like to contact Paddy Morrison, please scroll to the bottom of this description where you will find all of his links and details.

This episode of Effortless Attraction is unlike any other.

My guest, Martina Crudden, shares a story that is almost impossible to comprehend — yet she speaks with such strength, grace and purpose.

Martina buried two of her children, one in 2009 and another in 2011. The depth of grief a parent experiences is beyond words — and to endure it twice is something very few could imagine. But her journey did not end there.

In 2015, Martina herself died and experienced what she describes as a near-death experience — an out-of-body awareness that brought her a powerful message: there was more for her to do. She was shown that her life still had purpose. That she was here to help humanity.

This conversation is raw, honest and deeply moving.

Since those life-altering experiences, Martina has gone on to work in various healing modalities. She speaks in schools, supports families, and is involved with numerous organisations, using her story to bring light into some of the darkest places.

If you are walking through grief, bereavement or loss, this episode may bring you hope. The pain of losing a child is something no parent should ever face — yet Martina’s story shows that even in unimaginable sorrow, purpose and meaning can still emerge.

You will not find many podcasts that hold this much life, loss, death, awakening and service within a single conversation.

If you would like to connect with Martina, her details are included below.
