  • Summary

  • Hello, I’m Aideen Finnegan. I’ve been in broadcasting for almost 17 years. It’s a career I’ve loved. But, lately, like a lot of you out there, I’ve been doing a bit of soul searching. If I were to change careers, I don’t even know how or what I would do. It’s massively intimidating to think about starting again. I want to be a bit nosy and find out how other people have done it. If the pandemic has prompted you to reassess your life and how you make a living, this is the podcast for you – this, is How to Pivot.

    Dec 18 2022
    Santis O'Garro ended up working for 17 years in a job she didn't enjoy. It was only meant to be a short-term thing until she figured things out. But then the economic crash happened and she felt she couldn't leave. In 2018 she found herself in the unenviable position of being €15k in debt and navigating lone parenting for the first time. In March 2019, she endeavoured to clear her debt and she did it ONE YEAR! It unlocked a whole new future for her. She has since qualified as a life coach, become a money mentor, presented a prime-time TV show on RTE and is a soon-to-be published author. Don't miss this incredible story of overcoming. 

    You can find Santis on Instagram @TheCaribbeanDub, and her new book, The Money Mentor is availble to pre-order now. Published by Harper Collins, it will be available in all good bookshops from January 19th, 2023.
