In this episode, we’re diving into a more serious one—Why I Stayed in Ireland. We’ve been getting DMs and voice notes from listeners who’ve thought about packing up and leaving, but ultimately decided to stay put. So we’re unpacking all of that this week: the push and pull of emigration, the things that made people stay, and whether Ireland still has enough to offer.
No messing around this time—it’s strictly business. We chat about the cost of living, housing (obviously), careers, community, and the emotional side of choosing to stick it out here. Is it hope? Is it stubbornness? Or are there actually some underrated perks to staying local?
We also hear directly from listeners who’ve been right on the edge of leaving—people who had the visas sorted, the job offers lined up, the escape plan in motion—but changed their mind. Some stayed for family, some for love, and a few just couldn’t say goodbye to the sea, the pints, or their granny’s roast.
No script, no filter—just real talk, hard truths, and a bit of honesty about what keeps us rooted in a place, even when everything’s telling us to leave.
