In this inspiring episode of Effortless Attraction, Evelyn sits down with Aideen Shelley—a trailblazer who became the first female gunner and sergeant in the Irish Army, serving 13 remarkable years. After travelling Europe for three years in a camper van with her husband and young son, Aideen has dedicated her life to making a difference.

Today, she is a Special Needs Assistant and the founder of Caring4Carers, an initiative that supports and uplifts those who give so much of themselves in caring for others. Having witnessed first-hand the sacrifices carers make, Aideen is on a heartfelt mission to ensure they look after their own well-being too.

Whether it is breaking barriers in the army, embracing the adventure of life on the road, or championing the unseen heroes of our communities, Aideen’s journey is a testament to courage, service and compassion.
