Muireann O’Connell is our July coverstar, and we’re so excited to chat to her as she moves into a new chapter of her life.

We last featured her in the magazine two years ago where she told us that as she approached 40 she felt like she hadn’t reached any milestones.

But now she’s a homeowner and life couldn’t be any better.

“I am currently walking barefoot on my floorboards; it’s the nicest walk I’ve ever taken in my life!” she enthuses.

“Look listen, it’s a housing crisis and that is not lost on me, but for someone who has a good job I’ve been very bad at this house business and the disappointment of going sale agreed on a house and losing out has been real. I think during that time, personally for me, the old adage, ‘What’s for you won’t pass you by’ was said a lot, and every time I heard it, I wanted to stick pins in my eyes!”

She laughs: “I was like, ‘Surely lads, there has to be something for me out there’. Now it just feels like this is where I was meant to be. I’m delighted.”

Moving house is never easy and we know Muireann suffers from insomnia. But admits that she couldn’t be more relaxed right now.

“It’s making me calmer knowing I’m moving towards something that I’ve wanted and worked for, for a very long time. It’s also a place I feel genuinely very happy in, it’s lovely, it’s chill,” she jokes.
