This week on It Is What It Is with Katie and Aisling, we’re catching up on the week that was and there is plenty to unpack.

We talk about our first week of personal training in the gym, the shock to the system, the sore muscles, and a few hilarious moments along the way. Katie also shares the excitement around her upcoming trip to Lithuania and the chaos that comes with trying to prepare for it.

But the conversation takes a more serious turn when we receive a message we simply could not ignore. A young person who recently came out as gay is now facing horrible abuse at home, and we talk honestly about how heartbreaking and complicated situations like that can be. Aisling also shares the story of a 65 year old woman currently living in a deeply difficult situation.

As always, this episode moves between laughter and real life conversations, because sometimes it just is what it is.
