About Emerald Being
A spiritually grounded path for conscious living, self-worth and inner transformation.
A deeper understanding of yourself changes the way you live.
Emerald Being is devoted to conscious living: the practice of understanding what is happening within you so that you can choose more deliberately how you meet the world.
Our lives are shaped not only by what happens around us, but by the thoughts, beliefs, emotions and meaning we carry within. The conscious mind can set an intention and imagine a new direction, while the subconscious mind may continue to repeat what it has learned through conditioning, experience and emotional memory.
When that hidden influence is brought into awareness, you gain something invaluable: choice. You can recognise a familiar thought without automatically believing it, meet an emotion without surrendering the whole moment to it and make decisions from present wisdom rather than old fear.
For People Who Are Already Looking Beneath the Surface
Many people drawn to Emerald Being are already reflective, intuitive and aware that their inner world matters. They may have read, learned and understood a great deal, yet still feel a distance between what they know and the way they respond when fear, pressure or old conditioning takes over.
Emerald Being helps close that distance. It supports a more coherent way of living, where what you know, what you value and the choices you make begin to belong to the same life.
Meet Deirdre Mc Nally
Deirdre Mc Nally is a producer, mentor, speaker and founder of Emerald Being.
Originally from Northern Ireland and living in Dublin for 33 years, Deirdre's life has moved through television and film production, storytelling, spiritual enquiry, reinvention, single motherhood and raising three sons, now adults.
Her life has also contained periods of adversity, uncertainty, loss and beginning again.
Her understanding has been shaped not by having all the answers, but by becoming increasingly willing to ask the deeper questions.
Who are we beneath everything that has happened to us?
How much of what we believe about ourselves is really ours?
And what becomes possible when we stop living automatically and begin choosing more consciously?
The Work Has to Be Lived
Over many years, Deirdre immersed herself in spiritual teaching, personal development and the exploration of consciousness and the mind.
But understanding something intellectually and living it are very different things.
The work has to be lived.
For Deirdre, conscious living remains an ongoing practice — observing thoughts and reactions, recognising conditioning, listening inwardly and choosing again when necessary.
It is not a performance of perfection.
It is a commitment to living with increasing awareness, love, courage and trust in oneself.
At the Heart of Emerald Being
Spirituality and Conscious Living: Remembering that you are more than your roles, conditioning and fear, and learning to live from the deeper truth of who you are.
The Mind, Energy and Inner Atmosphere: Understanding how the conscious and subconscious mind, repeated thoughts, words and emotions shape the state from which you live.
Intuition, Self-Worth and Embodiment: Deepening your connection with inner guidance, embodying greater peace and joy, and choosing from self-respect rather than old fear.
Creativity, Purpose and Becoming: Making space for what wants to be expressed through you, and for the life you feel called to create.
Helping People See What Could Be
Long before Deirdre ever used the word mentor, people came to her.
Sometimes they needed encouragement. Sometimes perspective. Sometimes they simply needed somebody who could help them see beyond where they were.
She has a particular instinct for recognising something in people that they may not yet recognise in themselves — their strengths, gifts and potential.
Her years as a producer bring another dimension to that work.
A producer learns to see something before it exists — to recognise the potential in an idea, hold the larger picture and find a route from imagination towards reality.
Deirdre brings that same instinct to people.
She is interested not only in where you are now, but in what might be possible from here.
Why Emerald Being?
Emerald Being is where the different strands of Deirdre’s life come together: spiritual enquiry and lived experience, creativity and storytelling, a producer’s ability to see the larger picture, and an enduring belief in people.
Above all, it gives a home to something that has always been there — an instinctive desire to help.
Emerald Being is an invitation to understand yourself more deeply, awaken to who you truly are and discover what becomes possible when you begin to trust yourself, believe in yourself and live more consciously.
What awakens within us does not end with us.
The way we live touches our relationships, our work, the people around us and the contribution we make.
Awakening happens within. What we do with what we discover is ours to choose.
