I hope everyone is well this fine April morning. The weather here in Ireland is a little bit greyer than it was last week, but still fine enough. I'm back to work today after taking a few days to look after my darlin husband last week. He had his pacemaker changed out on Wednesday and is on limited activity for a while to allow things to heal up. Which is is not frustrated by at all... 🙄(he is extremely frustrated, by the way and is very fed up at having to ask for everything to be done for him...) And it was frustrating in the hospital on Wednesday. Al has a condition called Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which means the software between his brain and his muscles glitches. With Al, 2-3 times a day, he needs to lie down in a condition that looks exactly like sleep to the lay person but isn't apparently sleep according to the experts. But trying to get him to talk in those periods is difficult to impossible. So, as he was trying to be checked into the ward, he started going into one of his episodes. Meaning he couldn't answer any of the usual questions. Meaning the protocols around ensuring the correct patient is going for surgery had to be adjusted a bit... as in I was answering for him. Kinda ruining the benefits of asking the questions at all, really. And, of course, explaining to every member of staff what FND is, how it works and where they can find more information. Only 9000 people in Ireland have the condition, which even by our standards, is not a lot. (0.17% of the population) So, it's unsurprising that most medical practitioners outside of neurology, and even a fair few within the field, haven't come across it. It adds to the stress though... Anyway, with all that being said, I haven't been as up to date on emails as I normally am. I am working through and processing all the Hope and Healing Hub requests that are coming through. I will be working through this this morning and getting back to people letting you know where you are on the waitlist for joining. I'm having loads more requests for scholarships than for people joining up right now, so there is a wait list. If you were thinking of joining and just aren't sure, that's grand, you can join whenever. There's no real deadline here, but joining also allows someone off the waitlist to join as well. In the mean time, I'm back off to my email list and getting some blog posts prepared. Also - this has been an expensive time for us. We have health insurance and things aren't as bad in Ireland as in the States but between Al and myself, we've spent over €1k over the last month on various investigations and procedures. So, if there's anyone out there who was thinking of signing up to a course or a coaching session, now's a great time to do it! Don't forget your email list discount (EMAILLIST) for 10% off anything on the website. Bríd libh Órlagh P. S.

Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge
I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are!

I hope this message finds you well! 😊 One of the biggest concerns I've heard about joining Brigid's Path Collective 2025 is the time commitment. And honestly, I get it. Six months of three group meetings a month and one personal meeting a month can seem like a lot. But here's the thing: we've designed this program with flexibility in mind. Why we spread it over at least 7 months: ✅ We understand that life happens. There are days when I can't make it or when a majority of the group can't...
I was asked a thought-provoking question in a group I’m part of this week: What would your younger self be most proud of you for? (Don’t worry about the grammar here, folks, go with the intent!) My immediate answer was: “That I can be myself. Fully and wholly myself. And I've stopped giving one fuck about what other people think of me, my actions, my appearance, any of it...” I had to pause and recognize that for a minute. This is big. And, possibly more importantly, it’s true. There are, of...
I received many emails yesterday from people feeling bad because they can't afford to buy anything right now. I want to say I'm truly sorry if my message caused any pressure. That was never my intention. It was more of a "if you were thinking of it, please feel free to buy now because it will really help!" 💖 Please don't feel guilty if you can't support me financially, now or ever. You can still do Brigid's work in the world. And you can help by spreading the word about my blog and school to...
