    In this episode, I'm getting real about body trends—those outrageous, ever-changing beauty standards that seem designed to keep us all feeling a little bit insecure. Remember when thigh gaps were a thing? Or when every magazine told us low-rise jeans were the look. I'll share some of my own awkward teenage moments, from padded bras to questionable diet fads, and unpack how society keeps shifting the goalposts for what our bodies "should" look like. Plus, we'll chat about how to break free from the cycle of never ending self optimisation and actually start feeling good in our skin. Let me know what you think! Learn more about your ad choices.

    health anxiety, nostalgia & FOMO

    In this episode, I dive into the tangled world of health anxiety, especially when it comes to my daughter's well-being—how every cough, every fever, every tiny worry spirals into something bigger in my head. Then, I get into something I've been thinking about a lot: why people don't seem to drink as much anymore. Is it the financial strain? The lack of spaces in Dublin that feel welcoming? Or just a shift in priorities? I break it down. I also open up about the nostalgia prison I've locked myself in since my sister moved away. Growing up together was a privilege, but now, I'm stuck between cherishing our memories and mourning the inevitable—watching the person I grew up with build a life that doesn't revolve around our shared childhood anymore. And finally, I wrap up with a conversation about FOMO—how it creeps in, how to manage it, and why it's okay to not always be where the action is. A mix of reflection, overthinking, and maybe a little too much sentimentality, hope you enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    In this empowering episode, I sit down with the incredible Jenny Claffey for an open and honest conversation about what it really means to grow older—especially as a woman. Far too often, women fear the transition from their 20s to their 30s, but Jenny and I are here to dismantle those fears. Jenny shares how she's learned to love the process of getting to know herself in her 30s and how she's embraced being comfortable with who she is. We dive into the chaotic years of our 20s, the brooding intensity of our teenage years, and the reality that nostalgia can sometimes hold us back. Most importantly, we explore what makes your 30s a time to look forward to, with more self-acceptance, growth, and freedom than ever before. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on aging with grace, confidence, and a whole lot of laughter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Nora Fahy, the manager of the Roscommon Women's Network and the driving force behind CycleUp Textiles, a social enterprise that is transforming scrap fabric into one-of-a-kind bags and gifts. Nora shares the story of how CycleUp Textiles not only promotes sustainability by upcycling materials, but also serves as a stepping stone for women in the community, offering training in sewing, design, and textile skills to empower them and open doors to employment opportunities. Learn about the powerful impact of this initiative on both the environment and the lives of women, as Nora discusses the journey of building the enterprise and the invaluable support they've received from the EU Just Transition Fund. This funding has played a crucial role in helping the organization expand its reach and further its mission of empowerment and economic inclusion. Tune in for an insightful conversation about how creativity, community, and sustainability intersect in meaningful ways, and how social enterprises like CycleUp Textiles are making a difference.

    In this episode, I dive deep into the complex intersection of alcohol, friendships, and the evolving landscape of social life in your twenties. I explore how drinking culture influences our relationships, how shifting dynamics in friendships often reflect larger changes in our personal values, and how the quest for meaning and connection evolves over time. From the rise of "sober curiosity" and the growing movement of individuals questioning their relationship with alcohol, to the challenges of building authentic community in an age dominated by capitalism, we unpack it all. How does alcohol shape our sense of self and our social interactions? What does it mean to "outgrow" certain friendships as your life priorities shift? And what happens when traditional spaces for gathering and connection — bars, clubs, and other third spaces — become increasingly commodified or inaccessible? Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on how to navigate these transitions, build healthier relationships with alcohol (and ourselves), and find meaningful ways to connect in a world that often feels disconnected.
