Friday Feelgood 16th May 2025

Hello and welcome welcome to this week's #FridayFeelgood

I don't know about you but here in Northern Ireland we've been experiencing exceptionally good weather and I really feel like it's been the buzz we've all needed after a rather damp start to the year!

If we've recently connected - this is my little Friday space where I like to share something great from my week and I love to hear back from you too, because we could always use a little more positivity in our lives!

So what's been your big (or small) best moment this week?

For me this week, there are a few 'competing' highlights.

First off was my trip to the inaugural Impact Players conference which was the opportunity to step into a room of powerhouse women, allies, and life-changing conversations!

Lisa Strutt and Sinead Starkey-Steenson created the event and it was a really fantastic day full of inspiration.

Impact Players focused on the connection between sports and leadership and although this voiceover generally works alone, it was great to gain some insight into how others approach life, business, challenges and I came away with a lot. One thing in particular that Victoria Armstrong said was 'replace your fear with curiosity' - when you don't want to do something - get curious about the reason why....

This benefitted me this morning when I was using my indoor cycle trainer and a certain element of it has always been my nemesis but today I got curious and instead of moping about it, I drilled down into WHY it didn't work for me and now I feel 100% better about doing it in the future! I'm looking forward to using this approach with some other aspects of VO life too!

The final highlight was where it all comes full circle because on the same day as Impact Players I was the host of a pub quiz for my former teammates in Belfast Roller Derby.

I left sport behind shortly before I finished school and it would be a long time before I would find it again. In 2011 I found Belfast Roller Derby and although I'm retired now I would say a little part of me will always belong to it.

Summed up, my feelgood is that sport is a great tool for teaching you transferable survival skills in life and I wish everyone could belong to some sort of sport!

Have a great weekend!

You can't find the ball if you don't go into the park.... Friday Feelgood 24th April 2025

Hello! Welcome back to the #Fridayfeelgood. I've been off for a couple of weeks but we're back with a bang (or a woof) this morning!

I hope that you've been having a lovely couple of weeks - resting or working or both!? Let me know about your feel good below!

My Friday Feelgood was inspired by a dreary walk this morning with Skittle the dog. Skittle refused to get out of the car because the weather today was quite frankly horrible and to be honest I couldn't really blame her. So I closed the car door and drove to another entrance to the park because she's smart but she's not THAT smart ;)

Eventually, aided by a little more tree cover, we got out of the comfort of the warm dry car and within about 10 minutes, this walk went from wet and miserable to wacky and magnificent (her words).

The highlight of the walk you ask? We found a ball (not uncommon as she finds one on nearly every walk),but not just any ball, we found a BIG BALL.

This in a 'roundabout' way led me to think about how sometimes it's really too easy to dig in our heels and say, no, I don't want to go out to where it's miserable or to go where I've got the self doubt gremlins and sure, there's probably no point...blah blah blah. But that's exactly where we're wrong! If you don't go into the park you might not find that ball or if you don't put yourself OUT THERE you might not find that client or that client might not find you!

I hope that you feel good this Friday and this post gives you a little inspiration to get out there, even if it's a little wet and windy and you don't feel like it, Skittle and me believe in YOU!

Oonagh O'Flaherty Voiceover

Skittle the dog - a rough haired brown and tan medium sized dog looking at the camera with her mouth open. She has bright eyes and looks as though she is smiling. Her tail is curled over and she is standing on all four legs. The background of the image is blue with animated rain drops and text in pink reads "Friday Feelgood".
