Earlier this month, we held an RTÉ Hourglass live podcast in The Little Museum of Dublin with RTÉ presenter Jacqui Hurley, model and mum-of-four Alli McDonnell and WellNow Co coaches Jessie and Suzanne.
The incredible Eleanor McEvoy performed on the night, entertaining the audience with songs from her new album, The Thomas Moore Project, as well a stunning performance of the renowned Only a Woman's Heart before sharing her own 'struggle to juggle' as a musician and mother.
Throughout the event, Eleanor performed her new single Oft' in the Stilly Night and The Spanish word for heart, which you can watch in the video above.
As a special treat for the audience, Eleanor performed the emotional song, Only a Woman's Heart" which you can watch below.

Later in the event, Eleanor shared her experience as a working mum explaining that she often felt guilty for working so much.
"I seem to feel guilty all of the time. I seem to have muddled through my whole life and my daughter has been handed over at service stations and airports across all the continents."
"I'd love to say I never dropped the ball but I did... she was left at the school gates some days," she said.
Eleanor believes there's a lot of pressure, "we have to work like we don't have children. And then when you're a Mum you're trying to pretend that you don't work... there's that much pressure on us."
