Who doesn't love a good dating story? This week, I brought my friend Grainne on the pod because she has spent the last few months in the dating scene here in Sydney and has a few iconic stories to tell. I've had a few horror stories myself which make for great stories but the best of all were our listener stories. They had us cackling so much we were silent laughing. From nudists to bar fights to catfishing to dead dogs there was a mixture of all sorts!! Check out the video teasers and bonus con...

Nutritional therapist and herbal medicine practitioner, Aisling (AOK Nutrition) specialises in female hormones and fertility and I just HAD to get Aisling back on the podcast. As one of my most popular episodes to date, I wanted to recap the old listeners and introduce her to any new, so that we finally understand how our bodies work as we just were not taught these things in school. We talked about Natural Cycles, PMS, adult acne, fertility, the effects of the pill and so much more. I got the c...

Following on from last weeks episode, Kelley and I are delving deep into the highs and lows that come with living in Australia. This week, we touch on working in construction, missing family and friends at home, struggling to make friends and the many ways you can. We also finished off on a positive note with our favourite parts of our time here so far because it is definitely not all bad and there's a lot of reasons that we are still here. I hope this episode helps people and as I said in the e...

With two varying experiences between us, we chat about everything from visa struggles, job hunts,...

Stephen Byrne is the next visitor on the turquoise couch to discuss his TV and radio journey starting off at RTÉ, interviewing some those on the elitist of celeb lists and making his way back to Oz. We had the best time chatting about classic Irish stereotypes, climbing the career ladder and the gay scene in Ireland. His story of success is due to his mindset and I’m obsessed. Really enjoyed having a genuine non stop laugh and I know my viewers will resonate a lot with the topics discussed. Chec...

Sara Dolan joins me on the couch to talk about her journey to owning one of Sydney's most popular salons with her best friend, Niamh. We chatted about building her clients up from zero, working an office job in the day and taking clients in her apartment before and after her job, to where she is today behind her salon, Bonki Beauty. Sara is proof that if you want to make it, you need to work hard and uplift those around you instead of competing against them. Check her out on insta: https://www.i...

I'm back after the longest break I've taken (I think) since I started and it is good to be back.

We go deep into our past drunken activities that left us as balls of anxiety and depression and hear you're hilarious stories too.

My gorgeous friend, Erin, is back for another episode with me where we dove deep into what she calls, the quarter life crisis. This whole worry that people in their late twenties - mid thirty year old's have about whether they should be settling down, buying a house and having kids OR doing none of those things and heading off travelling. We got such a massive response from you all over on my Instagram and it's clear to see that you are damned if you do or damned if you don't so just go ahead an...

I’m very excited about this week's episode of the podcast because whatever your political views may be, you can’t deny that this man is a character. Independent TD, Michael Healy Rae, a man who I’ve realized lives off about 2 hours of sleep, took the time out of his hectic schedule to have a little chat with me. Outside of the obvious roles that being a TD entails, he talks about the sides we don’t see and the parts that have stuck with him for life like talking a man out of committing suicide o...

Is it possible to have a craic filled night on the tiles with no alcohol? Some of you probably think not a chance but Lisa Curran who is behind Ireland’s first ever alcohol free events company, The Virtue Club, has seen first hand that it absolutely is and lots of people are behind the idea. Am I a bad bitch for uploading this episode on a Monday? Possibly, but as Lisa points out in our chat, lots of people have realized during all the lockdowns that alcohol and the fear and anxiety and whatever...

In light of the tragic murder of Aishling Murphy a few days ago in Tullamore, County Offaly, although I had planned on doing an episode like this in a few weeks time, I just could not get this out of my head so I decided to record this today. Things need to change big time. The fact that women can’t go out and do their daily bits on their own without fear that they might be attacked, assaulted, raped or killed is not one bit normal yet we have just lived our lives for years just as though it is ...

At 67 years of age Padraig Howley, or Sing and Step With Padraig as you may know him from Instagram, turned vegan for health reasons and hasn’t looked back since.

On this week’s episode I am talking about imposter syndrome. Seeing as 100% of you voted that you also feel the same (except my mom), I discuss my experience and my other thinking mind, the reasons why we feel this way and how we can prevent it. Despite all of our degrees, achievements and successes we all weirdly feel like frauds but at least we can all feel the comfort in knowing that you’re not alone in those thoughts. I hope you enjoy the episode! x Instagram: @aislinndowling Facebook: @dowl...

We also get honest about our own struggles with what we see in the mirror and negative comments that have stuck with us for years. We discuss our opinions on fillers a...
