GROWING UP with Keelin Moncrieff

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, I dive into the tangled world of health anxiety, especially when it comes to my daughter’s well-being—how every cough, every fever, every tiny worry spirals into something bigger in my head.

Then, I get into something I’ve been thinking about a lot: why people don’t seem to drink as much anymore. Is it the financial strain? The lack of spaces in Dublin that feel welcoming? Or just a shift in priorities? I break it down.

I also open up about the nostalgia prison I’ve locked myself in since my sister moved away. Growing up together was a privilege, but now, I’m stuck between cherishing our memories and mourning the inevitable—watching the person I grew up with build a life that doesn’t revolve around our shared childhood anymore.

And finally, I wrap up with a conversation about FOMO—how it creeps in, how to manage it, and why it’s okay to not always be where the action is.

A mix of reflection, overthinking, and maybe a little too much sentimentality, hope you enjoy!
