On Healing with the McCarthy Family

Welcome to On Healing, a podcast dedicated to sharing stories of healing, and the power of tuning into the inner calm and potential that lies within each one of us. I will be having conversations with incredible guests that have inspired and empowered me, and I hope by listening you will take something valuable away.

This episode was recorded on St. Patricks day in New York, with my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Bill who are in their eighties, and their son Billy. This is such a special conversation about emigration, their love of Ireland, and their memories of the day their dear son Desmond lost his life in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers on September 11th. My Uncle Bill was working as the Director of Flight Operations for Delta Airlines and was standing in the Chief Pilots Office in JFK Airport, as the twin towers were being attacked, knowing his son was inside. He took out his phone, called Desmond and his phone kept ringing out. They had just celebrated Desmond's 33rd Birthday the weekend before this tragic day.

I’ve no doubt you’ll feel deeply moved after listening to this.

Thank you so much to Margaret, Bill, and Billy for sharing their hearts with us today.
