Doireann Garrihy has stepped into a new chapter of her life. She’s married, she is a mother and she is moving into a new radio slot on 2FM.
With such a close-knit family, Doireann has plenty of advice on raising her daughter, Rosie.
We sat down with the 2FM radio host for our May issue where she reveals how her family is supporting her through this new stage of life and how parenting has changed her and her husband, Mark Mehigan.
She tells us the best piece of advice she has received is from her mother, Clare.
“My mom always reminds me that motherhood has no handbook. That it is so important to trust my gut because when it comes to Rosie, I know best. She has that calmness that only comes with experience, so whenever I am worried or unsure, she is the person I call,” she tells us with a big smile.
“Of course” becoming a mother has changed her, just as becoming a father has changed Mark.
“We are more present than we’ve ever been before. Other parents tell you that the time goes so fast and it really does. We are soaking up every milestone.
“We have managed two date nights in six months, and we are happy with that! Our priorities have shifted, all of our free-time is spent with Rosie and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
