The Devil Wears Prada, birthdays, and the science of reality TV! After a busy and fun weekend in London, I’m marking a major milestone on the pod today—my birthday.

In this episode, I’m catching you up on my whirlwind trip to the city, from the chaos of Borough Market to a "pinch-me" moment at the Dominion Theatre for the last show of a true icon. I’m also diving deep into my obsession: Reality TV. We’re looking at the actual science behind why we love the drama and taking a nostalgic trip through the shows that shaped me—from rock-star chaos in the 2000s to the local legends that were debated in the Seanad.

In this episode, we talk about:

The Privilege of Aging: Why I’m choosing to celebrate growing older and why I’m thankful for every new year and every new wrinkle.

London Calling: My birthday weekend highlights, including those iconic Borough Market strawberries and catching Vanessa Williams in her final performance of The Devil Wears Prada.

The Science of the "Silly": Insights on why reality TV is actually a "master class" in human behavior.

The Nostalgia Timeline: Revisiting The Osbournes, The Simple Life, and the moment an Irish win on Big Brother

Local Legends & "The Egg Quota": A look back at the cultural reset that was Tallafornia and why Irish reality TV hits differently.

My Desert Island Top 5: My ultimate list of must-watch shows, including Southern Charm, Married at First Sight, and the gold standard: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Whether you’re a fellow "Bravoholic" or you’re just looking for a bit of birthday escapism, I hope this episode reminds you that sometimes, the best way to handle the "real world" is to dive into someone else’s.

I’m back! After a significant break and a lot of life happening behind the scenes, I’m finally stepping back up to the mic.

In this episode, I’m catching you up on why I decided to walk away from a 15-year career in radio, the reality of navigating a season of heavy personal loss, and the joy of finding a new balance. This isn’t just an update—it’s a conversation about knowing your worth, trusting your gut, and finally choosing yourself.

In this episode, we talk about:

The Big Pivot: Why I left the world of live radio to step behind the scenes in the podcast industry.

Knowing Your Worth: Working with a career coach to rebuild confidence and recognise when it's time to move on.

The Season of Loss: Navigating the grief of losing my grandad, a dear friend, and my dog of 14 years.

Life as an Auntie: Finding joy in the "small" moments I used to miss because of a rigid work schedule.

The Road Ahead: What you can expect from the podcast moving forward (including two new interviews dropping very soon!).

If you’ve ever felt like you were "stuck" in a role that no longer fits, or if you’re navigating your own season of change, I hope this episode reminds you that it’s never too late to take a chance on yourself.

This week on the podcast, I’m catching you up on all the bits — from my visit to Old Barracks Coffee Roasters in Tipperary (yes, the place with the €15 coffee!) to MCing a fab event at the Clayton Hotel where I got to hear from some amazing speakers about AI and navigating modern life.

Then I’m joined by the incredible Laura Hannon — Irish racing driver and passionate advocate for young women in motorsport. We chat about smashing stereotypes, what it’s really like behind the wheel, and how she’s helping pave the way for the next generation of female drivers.

Coffee, fast cars, inspiring women — what more could you want? ☕🏎️✨
