## Resource

In this episode, we reflect on the ‘No Kings’ demonstrations in the United States and the courage of the protesters who are standing up for human rights. Additionally, we provide a preview of "Tracey Emin: A Second Life", a new exhibition at Tate Modern in London running until August 2026.  Joining us for a powerful interview is Maeve Halpin, a counselling psychologist based in Rathmines, Dublin. She offers insight into her interests in personal development, self-empowerment, and the potential for positive living, while highlighting her passion for world politics, equality, and human rights. Maeve presents the radio show Wellbeing for Everyday Life  every Thursday at 1 pm on Dublin South 93.9 FM. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
