Beschrijving

Katie and Aisling are back with another episode of It Is What It Is and this one goes deep. They open up about family dynamics and the unspoken roles so many people grow up with. From the golden child to the black sheep, the overlooked one to the one expected to hold everything together, nothing is off limits. They talk honestly about control, pressure, and the impact it can have long after childhood ends. This episode gets personal as both Katie and Aisling reflect on their own upbringings, the hurt they carried, and how it shaped them. They also face the harder side of things, opening up about the ways they feel they may have passed some of that pain on, and what they have done to break those patterns. It is reflective, and full of moments that will make you stop and think about your own story.

We Started Talking About Ibiza And Ended Up Here

Katie is back from Ibiza and reunited with Aisling for a long overdue catch up. From funny holiday stories and unexpected moments abroad to life lessons, reflections, and everything that has happened since they last sat down together, this episode feels like catching up with your best friend over a coffee. The pair chat about the highs, the laughs, and some of the things Katie learned while away. What starts as a simple catch up soon turns into conversations about life, perspective, and the lessons that often show up when you least expect them. As always, there are plenty of laughs, honest moments, and a few tangents along the way. In true It Is What It Is fashion, the conversation takes a completely unexpected turn towards the end, leading to a discussion neither of them planned on having. No script, no filter, just two friends catching up and seeing where the conversation takes them.

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.
