Serious Secrets Were Spilled

Between reliving the chaos of their recent photo shoot, uncontrollable laughing fits, oversharing, and accidentally exposing secrets that probably should have stayed private, neither of them can keep it together.

Is Loves & Likes On Social Media Crossing a line?

Katie and Aisling are back for another honest and unfiltered episode of It Is What It Is. This week, the girls dive into fears, insecurities, and the limitations people place on themselves without even realising it. They also unpack relationship boundaries online and ask the questions everyone secretly debates. Is liking pictures harmless? Are private love hearts crossing a line? And at what point does social media become disrespectful? The conversation gets very real as they open up about inappropriate messages, people overstepping boundaries online, and how they deal with it personally. Katie also sits down with Aisling for a deeper conversation around confidence, self image, filters, and the real reason she struggles to post videos of herself online. Raw, relatable, funny, uncomfortable at times, and full of the kind of chats everyone’s already having behind closed doors.

The Truth Behind “I’m Fine"

Aisling and Katie are back with a new episode of It Is What It Is. Katie opens up about her recent trip away and the truth behind how she was really feeling. What should have been a break brought up more than expected, as she shares how her nervous system has quietly shaped her reactions for years and why feeling calm can sometimes feel unfamiliar. Aisling reflects on how these thoughts are more common than people admit, before opening up about her own recent struggles. She shares how things in her life have crashed and burned, how outside family situations have affected her, and how it left her lying in bed all day, knowing that is not who she is, but still feeling stuck. They talk honestly about acceptance, the things you cannot control, and the real work it takes to feel okay with being happy.
