**TRIGGER WARNING: Domestic violence** This week, we answer a listener query. Her boyfriend has slept with over 100 women and her 'number' is only 3 – is this cause for concern, and why does she feel "icky" about it? We also mark domestic violence awareness month (this October) by giving some helpful numbers out, and talking through some of the statistics around it. Scary listening, but worth mentioning to bring awareness and hopefully help someone in need (if you are in a position to donate, he...
This week Aisling and Andrea discuss a new dating term that Aisling maintains she's been talking about for years (of course) which is the concept of 'cushioning'. Overlapping partners, basically, to cushion the emotional blow that moving between relationships can bring. We also give our best advice about how to break up with someone with respect and kindness, as well as detailing some of our own worst break ups. Follow us on Instagram @privateeducationpodcast , @aislingmkeenan and @andreajanedoy...
This week's episode is packed full of insights thanks to our guest, relationship coach Lisa McFarland.

This week on Private Education, we have a really candid and honest chat with Andrew Fitzsimons – Khloe Kardashian's close confidant and hair stylist – about growing up in Ireland as a gay man, trust issues in relationships and healing yourself before you can share your life with someone else. Andrew spoke so beautifully about his client Mariah Carey (!!) and how he "does not accept" that she's labelled a diva because she's professional and knows what she wants. A chat we really enjoyed having an...
This week, from LA and Cork, Andrea and Aisling answer a listener query that involves layers of information and involves mismatched sex drives, blood tests and a very real marriage on the line. We also chat about public proposals, and more to the point: why no one should hijack their other half's special days (graduations, marathon completion, that sort of thing...) and use those times to pop the question. Follow us on Instagram @privateeducationpodcast , @aislingmkeenan and @andreajanedoyle . H...
Andrea joins today's episode all the way from Los Angeles – she was poolside for the recording guys. Not able. We talk about dry spells, whether not having sex or not having sex often is a death knell for a relationship, and we discuss an interaction Aisling had in a lift with a strange man during the week. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @privateeducationpodcast , @aislingmkeenan and @andreajanedoyle . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
This week, we're chatting to Dr Maria McEvoy about Vaginismus, a condition that makes penetrative sex (or vaginal penetration of any kind) impossible. Vaginismus is not something we've heard being spoken about a lot, but we've had many great questions in to @privateeducationpodcast about it so we're glad to be covering it with Ireland's leading expert on the condition. Find out more, access research and read more about Dr McEvoy's research at vaginismusresearchireland.com and on Twitter @Irishva...
This week, our guest Hazel Larkin joins us to discuss relationships with narcissists. We talk about how people who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder – which is something that's challenging to diagnose – can leave those they're romantically involved with with lasting trauma.

This week the wonderful Kate Demolder joins us this week to talk about Love Island and the Gaeltacht, and why they're basically the same thing, and why your holiday romance *probably* won't work when you're back in reality. Also, we discuss how the person you turn into when on holiday is an idealised version of yourself. Enjoy! And leave us a review, if you feel like it.

This episode, we welcome everyone back after a six week season break, we have a VERY long preamble (skip to, like, 25 mins in if you hate preambles) and we answer a listener email about going long-distance, and what they've decided to *NOT* count as cheating while they're far away from each other... It's an interesting one! Follow us on Instagram @privateeducationpodcast , @aislingmkeenan and @andreajanedoyle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
This week, in the final episode of the new season of Private Education, we interview Evan, who has attended organised sex parties in clubs in Germany, the Netherlands and more. From witnessing a casual beside-the-bar rim job to seeing someone (NOT his boss, to be clear) being dominated in a cage, we ask him all the questions you might want answered. And we also propose a Private Ed field trip to a sex club – wanna come with? You can follow us @privateeducationpodcast on Instagram, or @aislingmke...
This week Andrea and I discuss arguments, and specifically: what you can and can't say in a fight. We're not the boss of you, so live your life, but if you'd like better, more harmonious arguments that you stand a chance of winning, we've got some 'donts' for you. You can follow us @privateeducationpodcast on Instagram, or @aislingmkeenan and @andreajanedoyle there too! #privateeducation Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
This week we answer two listener queries – the first is a partner who point blank refuses to get a vasectomy in spite of them being finished having children and her not wanting to pump hormones into her body for any more years, and the second is a woman who's boyfriend's ex-partner is part of his friend group and so she has to see her all the time and frequently finds herself comparing herself.

We're back this week to get into a deep dive on a previous relationship of Dre's that was FULL of amber and red flags, but they went unnoticed and then *dramatic pause* things were revealed that meant the whole thing was basically built on a foundation of untruths. She thought she got closure... She was wrong, and that was worse than not getting it at all. Follow us @privateeducationpodcast @aislingmkeenan @andreajanedoyle Hosted on Acast.

I'm so buzzed about this – it's not strictly relationships, but it's fun nonetheless. This week, I interview Jason Oppenheim about celebrity clients, about working in such a dramatic environment, being best mates with his ex and more... Enjoy! Amanza's episode is next Friday!

This one genuinely stumped us – a listener DMd Aisling recently saying that her affair is ruining her life. Our guest, Jenny Claffey ( @pvssykat ) of Red Room Podcast and formerly It Galz, chats the whole thing through with us and we try to give some solid guidance. For anyone affected by anything in this episode, here are some helpful links to domestic violence services, mental health services and low-cost counselling should that be of help: mymind.org/individual www.womensaid.ie/ www.mentalhea...

We've a listener query this time – Her boyfriend used her phone to call someone, but when she got it back her Whatsapp was open and so was her camera roll. It raises the question: Do you trust your partner enough to give them your passwords? Or if your partner goes through your phone, does it indicate a lack of trust? And when does nosiness cross over into control? Dr Dre ( @andreajanedoyle ) joins me to discuss. Follow @privateeducationpodcast on Instagram You can also follow me @aislingmkeenan...
Welcome back! Private Education has returned at last. This episode, featuring journalist Kate Demolder (@katedemolder), discusses cheating – what constitutes an affair, why people cheat at certain times in their lives and what the red flags are that you can keep in mind.

This episode I talk to musician and songwriter Ciara Mary Alice Thompson, aka CMAT about the anonymous email address she set up to allow fans of hers to send in their relationship woes, so she could use them as inspiration for her songs. We also chat about bringing humour to her music as a defence mechanism, intrusive questions from journalists (not me, I hope!) and using songwriting as a way to process former relationships. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
In another brilliant Selling Sunset interview, Amanza Smith (one of my favourite of the cast, don't tell Mary, Christine, Chrishell, Heather or Jason...) shares how she feels about introducing children to boyfriends, why she had the argument with Heather about it and how, if at all, starring on Selling Sunset has changed her life. Enjoy! Review! Tell your friends <3 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
My guest this week is journalist, podcaster, Rogue co-founder and now author Liadán Hynes. Her brilliant book (we are friends, I am biased but honest) is out now, called How to Fall Apart. It's about how she rebuilt her life after the break down of her marriage. In this episode, she talks about the things you shouldn't say to someone at the end of their relationship, and gives alternative ways to approach those tricky conversations. Hope you enjoy!

Red flags, making friends as an adult and 'leaving room for the holy spirit'. My guest Dr Dre and I answer three listener questions - first up, someone who was ghosted by someone displaying so many red flags it was like a beach on the day of a hurricane, next up, a listener who thinks about her ex daily and wonders what it means, and lastly, a listener who is lonely, new to the country and wants to make friends as a 30-year-old. We advise on all of the above and throw in, oh, a casual MILLION ta...
My guest today is Bek Antonucci (@bekantonucci on Instagram) who is a coach, helping women feel better in their bodies.
