Showing Up Authentically, Sound.Waves. for Irish Creators & Climate Voices on the Airwaves

🎙 Cut Through The Noise: How to Show Up Online Without Oversharing, with Kay’s Flower School

This week on Cut Through The Noise, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Deirdre and Janette from Kay’s Flower School, two powerhouse women in business who know how to market with meaning.

They’re not just brilliant florists or savvy marketers. They’re also experts in one of the trickiest areas of modern communication: showing up as your authentic self without oversharing.

Here’s what we unpacked:

  • Why authenticity matters more than ever when building trust online

  • How to build confidence on camera (even if you hate being in the spotlight)

  • Setting healthy boundaries in your content

  • The importance of women supporting women in business

If you’ve ever felt torn between being “professional” and being “yourself,” this episode is for you.

Bonus Content:

Deirdre & Janette share their top social media tips in an exclusive YouTube video, covering how to create polished, professional content that still feels real.

🏆 All‑Ireland Podcast Awards – A Real Milestone for Irish Creators

Over the years, there have been several well‑meaning attempts to introduce proper podcast awards in Ireland, but none quite on the scale or with the structure of the All‑Ireland Podcast Awards 2025 as part of the new Sound.Waves. summit in Adare. This one is different. It’s ambitious, inclusive, and genuinely set up to celebrate creators from across the island.

Why this matters:

  • It’s a long‑overdue recognition of podcast storytelling in Ireland, not just for large shows, but for emerging creators with fresh voices.

  • It helps raise the standard of what we expect from podcast content: clarity, production quality, narrative strength, and cultural resonance.

  • It creates a platform for Irish creators to be celebrated, discovered, and networked with, in a way that builds credibility and visibility.

As submissions close today, it’s a moment to celebrate the power of podcasting: how far the medium has come, how much we’ve each grown, and the vibrant community of creators who continue to raise the bar for thoughtful, impactful audio.
