Never Have I Ever is the podcast where Claire Byrne explores
things she's never done by talking to people who have. This week,
she steps up to the front of the room.

Claire's been to plenty of weddings and funerals, but she's never
been the person leading the ceremony. So, in episode three, she
meets Karen Dempsey, one of Ireland's best-known celebrants and
the founder of Entheos Ireland.

They explore what it means to be invited into people's most
intimate moments. From weddings filled with hope to deathbed
ceremonies and the funerals of babies and children, Karen
reflects on the privilege and emotional weight of her work.
Claire asks how anyone can carry those experiences, while Karen
explains her mission to create spaces for people who feel
excluded from traditional faith, including many LGBTQ+ people who
still want spirituality to be part of their lives.

And the big question: should Claire keep being a guest, or is it
time she stepped up and became a celebrant herself?
