IT IS WHAT IT IS!

This week on It Is What It Is, Katie sits down with Nicola Ryan, women’s hormone health specialist, menopause advisor, and pharmacist from Tipperary, for an eye opening conversation about the realities of women’s health.

Together, they discuss PCOS, endometriosis, PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, surgical menopause, and the impact a full hysterectomy and oophorectomy can have on a woman’s life. Katie shares her own experiences and gets expert advice from Nicola along the way.

They also explore why more women are being diagnosed with ADHD later in life and how hormonal changes can affect symptoms and overall wellbeing.

Packed with practical advice, expert insight, and honest conversation, this is an episode every woman should hear.

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.

This week, Katie and Aisling are taking a look back at some of the funniest, most chaotic, most honest moments from It Is What It Is so far.

From friendship debates and oversharing to stories that completely spiralled off the rails, this episode is a collection of clips and conversations that listeners have loved since the podcast began. Whether you have been here from the start or are only discovering the podcast now, this episode gives you a taste of exactly what It Is What It Is is all about.

Expect nonstop laughing, unfiltered chats, questionable opinions, accidental therapy sessions, and moments that probably should have stayed private.

Basically… pure chaos.

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.

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.
