Danny didn’t grow up in Sheriff Street, but he was always close by in Ballybough — another pocket of Dublin where grit, humour, and hardship live side by side. In this episode, Danny opens up about the impact school had on him, and how those early experiences chipped away at his self-belief and followed him into adulthood.

He speaks about the band he once performed in, the rush of a little bit of fame, and the heartbreak of coming home from England with no money, no qualifications, and no real direction. Danny talks honestly about losing himself for a while, in weekend drug use, in low self-worth, and in the pain of fractured relationships with his children.

But he also shares the turning point.

Danny is now the man behind Soul Haven in Sheriff Street: a space he created with the help of a local girl who gave him a room and a chance. It’s a place for people carrying trauma, grief, confusion, and hurt. A place for alternative healing, mindfulness, Amazonian tribal practices, and honest conversations that help people feel seen.

This episode is Danny’s journey through loss, searching, rebuilding and the quiet strength it takes to start again.
