Feeling sexy… it sounds simple, but for a lot of us, it’s anything but.

­

This week, Jennifer is joined by comedian Aideen McQueen and burlesque performer Bonnie Boux to unpack why so many of us feel awkward, self-conscious, or just completely disconnected from that side of ourselves.

­

From Irish shame and long-term relationship ruts to crochet-induced icks and the surprising power of a good playlist… this is a conversation about confidence, comfort, and figuring out what actually makes you feel good

­

Because as it turns out, sexy isn’t a look… it’s something you can learn.

Ever heard of lactophilia or sploshing ? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

This week, we’re getting into kinks… and all the questions you’d nearly be afraid to ask out loud. From erotic lactation (yes, it is what you think!) to squeaking balloons, there is no stone left unturned. Jennifer, comedian Aideen McQueen and Jamie Ryan (aka Mr Leather Europe 2026) unpack where curiosity comes from, what draws people into this world, and what actually goes on behind the scenes. And let us tell you… it’s a lot more common, and a lot less “out there” than you might think.

For this episode of Just Between Us, we're talking about better sex, not more of it, not swinging from the chandeliers, just figuring out what actually works for you.

Because let’s be honest… for something most of us are doing, we’re still wildly awkward talking about it. Between Catholic guilt, dodgy sex ed and the idea we’re all meant to just know what we’re doing, a lot of us are out here guessing and hoping for the best.

Joining Jennifer is sex educator Jenny Keane, who’s here to take the pressure off. From viral workshops (and yes, the great Irish cucumber shortage) to simple, practical ways to shake things up, this is all about getting out of your head, out of the same old routine, and into something that feels good.

For this episode of Just Between Us, Jennifer sits down with psychotherapist Stephanie Regan to unpack what makes a relationship last.

­

Because love, chemistry and butterflies are all well and good but they won’t carry you through the everyday reality of life, when you’re busy, distracted, and trying to stay connected in the middle of it all. From communication and self-awareness to fun, respect and learning how to argue without tearing strips off each other, this is a warm, honest and insightful conversation about the habits that keep relationships strong long after the honeymoon phase fades.

For this episode of Just Between Us, Jennifer opened the DMs and asked listeners to send in the relationship dilemmas keeping them up at night and wow, you absolutely did not hold back.

Joining her to sort through the chaos are comedian Enya Martin, writer and broadcaster Barbara Scully, and Laughter Lounge MC Brian Gallagher. From ghosting and dating apps to sex chats, gym hints, and mothers barging into bedrooms at the worst possible moment, this is a funny, honest and gloriously unfiltered deep dive into modern love.

Desire doesn’t have to have an expiry date. This week on Just Between Us, Jennifer sits down with clinical sexologist Emily Power Smith to talk about sex and ageing, from libido shifts and menopause to illness, disability and changing bodies. It’s a reassuring conversation about letting go of old expectations, learning what works now, remembering pleasure can evolve with you and sex can keep getting better.

Love doesn’t always arrive neatly or on schedule. This week on Just Between Us, Jennifer is joined by Jennifer Rock and Jill Deering to talk about building a family that doesn’t fit the traditional script. From parenting young and navigating small-town scrutiny, to coming out later in life and becoming a stepmother in your 30s, they share what it really takes to blend lives with care. They open up about co-parenting with ex-partners, putting kids first, and learning to do the work even when relationships change shape. It’s a warm, honest conversation about choosing kindness, earning trust slowly, and trusting that love can still be full and meaningful when it takes an unexpected path.
