One job is no longer enough, many people are balancing roles, building income streams, and adapting just to stay afloat.
There’s resilience in that, but also worth asking when did “getting by” become this complex?
Great read @niamhjournalist @Moneybox

Fish today? 🐟
Good Friday was always a fish day in our house, a simple tradition, but one that’s stayed with me.
If you’re cooking today, this is a dish well worth trying.
Fresh hake, gently softened leeks, and a perfectly poached egg.
Wishing you all a peaceful Good Friday

Ever gracious, charismatic and inspirational, Gearoid is a huge loss to his family, his county and the hospitality industry. He and Tara spoke to me (below) last April. RIP.

The Gary Woodland story ❤️
Winner of the Houston Open, his first win since 2019 US Open (2,478 days ago).
He gave this interview a few weeks ago outlining his ongoing struggles with PTSD post-brain surgery.
Worth the watch 👇
Brian Mc Dermott retweeted
Major champion Gary Woodland had brain surgery in 2023 to remove a tumor.
That tumor was pressing on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety.
A year ago, Woodland was diagnosed with PTSD that resulted from his surgery.
Earlier this month, he went public with his PTSD diagnosis to help himself and others.
Woodland is back in the winner's circle ❤️

A positive update on @SamSzmodics. 👍
Sam has been safely discharged from hospital in Prague after sustaining a head injury during @IrelandFootball's World Cup qualifier against Czechia on Thursday evening.
Following further examination and a period of observation, Sam has been discharged and will now return to the UK, where he will continue his recovery under the care of the Derby County and Republic of Ireland medical teams. 🖤💚
