Singer-songwriter Gráinne Holland: I joined the local camogie team but was terrified of being hit by a camán or sliotar

My kids make sure I'm up bright and early every morning. Coffee is a must. I try to squeeze in a walk after dropping them off at school when I can afford the time.

Porridge with fruit and yoghurt, washed down with a coffee and oat milk.

Lunch is either something healthy like soup or something horribly calorific like a steak and cheese wrap with fries – there is no in-between. At the minute, I'm trying to be healthy.

A one-pot dish – something with pasta, or maybe a stir-fry, curry or stew.

I don't take health supplements, but I am trying to make healthier choices when planning meals. I do want to be fitter and healthier so that I can spend more time outdoors with my kids without running out of energy. I try to include more veg in meals and when I snack, I try to snack on fruit. The trouble is, I love bread, chocolate, cheese and red wine and I find it really difficult to give them up when it's time to cut down.

I tend to go between healthy eating – until I meet my target weight – and then eating whatever I like until it all the weight goes back on. I'm trying to change that at the moment, though, and I hope I can achieve balance by eating well during the week and cheating at the weekends.

I try to go walking as often as possible. I go to the forest or the coast and it always clears my head, as well as helping me to stay fit. I also love to go cycling with the kids and kayaking when we get the chance. I then reward myself with a hot chocolate or an oat milk latté.

A 20-minute power walk.

I wasn't great at sport. I joined the local camogie team but was terrified of being hit by a camán or sliotar. I left after three weeks...

An occasional tipple.

Depends on what mood I'm in.

It's gotta be Bridgerton.

I wrote and recorded a book/album of songs for children over the pandemic and it has really had such a positive impact on my life.

After years of sitting in on edits and doing little bits myself, I did an editing course during the pandemic and I now edit material for broadcast which is weird because I always thought of myself as a technophobe but I've managed to stick at it and it's going well.

I find meditation, hot baths, music and gardening all help me to relax.

I am writing another book of songs for children and I hope to have it finished and published this year.

I tend to work a lot at nights after the kids have gone to bed and it's quiet, but I'm usually in bed sleeping by midnight. I normally sleep all night unless a couple of small people pay me a visit.

I wish I had travelled more before I had children. I did a fair bit of travelling, but there is so much of the world that I would love to see.

Having children changed my life completely and also changed me as a person. Seeing the world through their eyes as they are growing and learning is really beautiful and makes me appreciate every moment.

When people close to me died it really changed my outlook on life. We are living in a world where over-working is glorified because that means ‘success', but all that matters are those you love and my goal is to work less and spend more time with the people who really matter. It is difficult to do that in the current climate, but I will get there.
