heroin chic, hip dips & BBLs: body trends & why women can't win
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!

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!
