Serious Secrets Were Spilled
20/05/2026 | 28 mins.
Katie and Aisling are back this week and this episode completely goes off the rails from the very beginning. 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.

Aisling also finds out that Katie may have lied to her before, The girls chat about meaningful birthday gifts, why clutter can completely affect your mindset, and play a hilarious game of “Who’s More Likely To” that quickly turns Funny.

This episode is pure friendship chaos, nonstop laughing, and honestly… the girls have decided they genuinely need to be studied.
Is Loves & Likes On Social Media Crossing a line?
13/05/2026 | 36 mins.
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"
06/05/2026 | 40 mins.
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.
Repeating Our Parents Pattern's "We Swore we would never repeat"
22/04/2026 | 34 mins.
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.
Katie Gets Real: Enough Was Enough
15/04/2026 | 33 mins.
Katie is flying solo in this episode of It Is What It Is as Aisling takes a step back, and this one goes deep.

Katie opens up about her relationship with alcohol, addiction, and the patterns that can quietly take hold before you even realise it. She speaks honestly about the darker moments, the turning points, and what it actually takes to make real change when you feel stuck.

This episode is raw and personal, with Katie sharing parts of her story she hasn’t fully explored before. From recognising habits that no longer serve you, to pulling yourself out of difficult places, she talks through the mindset shifts and practical steps that helped her move forward.

It is an open, real conversation about accountability, growth, and proving to yourself that change is possible, even when it feels out of reach.
