now or never with Máire Nixon
Sunday, 30 November, 2025
During this week’s episode of Greener Fields, Hannah chats with Máire Nixon from Co. Mayo, who now calls Perth home.Growing up in Westport, Máire went on to complete both her undergrad and Masters in Galway. In this episode, she talks through the moment she decided to move to Australia — a simple “now or never” decision that set everything in motion. She shares the reality of those early months: doing farm work in Orange on her own, adjusting to a completely new environment, and eventually moving to Perth where she began to find her feet and build a life.Máire also reflects on home — what it’s like to live so far from Ireland, how distance has shifted her perspective, and the balancing act of creating a new life while staying connected to where you’re from. She speaks openly about the lessons she’s picked up along the way, from trusting her own judgment to adapting when things don’t go to plan and so much more.Another beautiful conversation, so make sure to check it out!Instagram: @greenerfields @hannahnash01 @mairenixon
