Holly Cairns, the leader of the Social Democrats, joins us for an eye-opening conversation about her journey in Irish politics and her impending role as a mother. With a deep commitment to women's rights, Holly reflects on her pivotal roles in campaigns for marriage equality and the repeal of the Eighth Amendment. She sheds light on the challenges of balancing leadership with motherhood, offering a raw perspective on the intersection of personal and professional life while advocating for societal change to support women.

We bring to the forefront the often-silenced topic of miscarriages, exploring the societal reluctance to address fertility issues openly. Holly courageously shares her own experiences, emphasizing the importance of discourse around these sensitive issues. By highlighting the empathy and understanding needed to support women and families, we aim to create a more compassionate environment. Through this candid conversation, we're reminded of the power of stories in breaking barriers and encouraging open dialogue.

Our discussion touches on the structural challenges mothers face in the workplace, particularly those in leadership roles. We examine the urgent need for policy reforms, like public childcare models and improved parental leave, to foster gender equality and support working families. Holly's reflections underscore the necessity of cultural shifts to create family-friendly work environments. We consider the impact of declining birth rates and the critical role accessible childcare plays in supporting future generations, aiming to inspire change for a more equitable society.
