Niamh Shaw : Dream Big

Niamh Shaw : Dream Big

Topics covered : Space, childhood dreams, possessions, freedom, starting over.


In this episode I speak to engineer, scientist, writer and performer, Niamh Shaw who is dedicating her life to fulfilling a 40 year old dream – to become an Irish space explorer on a real life mission.

Today, she divides her time between Strasbourg, home of the International Space University, Ireland and the US, where she is building up contacts in the space community.

You’ll find her on Instagram @dr_niamh_shaw and her book ‘Dream Big: An Irishwoman's Space Odyssey’ is available in all good book shops.

She is absolutely lovely and so inspiring and it’s an episode that will make you think and hopefully encourage you to follow your dreams.
