33: Seize The Day: Positive Parenting with Jacqui Hurley

Jacqui Hurley is a celebrated broadcaster, author, mum, and passionate advocate for children and women in sport. In this episode, she sits down with Jen and opens up about family life: her early childhood living in Australia, the joys of coaching her own kids, taking time with her husband - as partners and not just parents - and how she juggles her busy schedule to ensure she’s present with her children. She also speaks candidly about the tragic passing of her brother Sean and how it has influenced her approach to parenting and life in general.

Away from family, Jacqui discusses her “dream” career - from presenting The Sunday Game, covering the Olympics, and meeting her sporting heroes, to the inspiration behind her bestselling series of books, Girls Play Too.

With her positivity and can-do attitude illuminating the discussion, it’s not hard to tell why she’s one of Ireland’s favourite broadcasters. As Jacqui says, Seize The Day!
