Balancing Books, Medicine, and Motherhood — with Dr. Christina McDonnell of Genius Juniors
In this inspiring episode of Another Chapter Podcast, we’re joined by Dr Christina McDonnell, Irish GP, bookshop owner, and advocate for social justice. As the founder of Genius Juniors Bookshop in County Clare, Christina has created one of Ireland’s only dedicated children’s bookshops, championing diverse stories that help children navigate big feelings, build empathy, and celebrate who they are.
We chat about:
How books can support children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing
The growing importance of representation and inclusivity in children’s publishing
What it’s like balancing a busy career as a GP with running a small business and raising a family
Why Christina uses her platform to speak up on social justice issues, including Palestine and humanitarian causes
Her insights into mindfulness, gratitude, and the role of reading as a form of self-care
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or book lover, this episode is a reminder of how stories can shape healthier, kinder, more connected communities.
