My Yellow Brick Road is a new life-makeover series but with a difference – the advice comes from four ordinary people who have each successfully overcome their own issues. Between them, Claire, Greg, Jordan and Noel have battled Alopecia, Depression, Dyslexia and Drug Abuse and helped give others strength by talking openly about where they found the strength to do so. They never claim to be experts but, in the series, share their personal stories and what helped them deal with the challenges they faced along their own Yellow Brick Road.
PROGRAMME 3 – DONNA – WEDNESDAY 27 NOVEMBER / RTÉ 2 / 9.30PM
Mayo born Donna Rogan is 44 and lives with her partner Joe and teenage daughter Alannah in Roscrea, County Tipperary. She has struggled with infertility and endometriosis for many years and underwent three rounds of IVF before giving birth to her daughter. This has resulted not just in regular flare-ups for Donna but also low self-esteem and poor body image so she approached the guides for help as she is conscious of passing on her body image concerns to her pride and joy Alannah.
After hearing Donna’s distress, the team swing into action with Jordan passing on some advice on making peace with her past, Greg helping with her diet, Claire sharing her tips on ‘mirroring’ and Noel giving her out-of-date wardrobe a revamp. And all of them join Donna on a breezy Kilkee seafront for a group finale to celebrate her journey.
