On Growing

This week we chat to Instagram fashionista Ciara Walsh all about her journey with spirituality. Ciara has explored this side of herself from a young age but didn't share it with her Instagram following until recently. She spoke to us about the law of attraction, crystals, spiritual healers, how her spirituality helped her through some tough times, and how she manifested the life she now has. We learned so much from Ciara and hope you enjoy!


We are two gals discussing all things adulthood. Things we weren’t taught in school, that made you wonder ‘is anyone else going through the same thing? The same experiences? Having the same thoughts? How does one even become an adult?’ 

We talk college, moving out, mental health,  relationships, puberty, sexism, traveling and So much more.

These are our experiences of navigating adulthood, the highs, and lows, and just generally trying to figure life out as we go. 

Through a collection of our own experiences, we answer the questions everyone seems to have about growing up and trying to find your place in the world, from a ‘been there, done that perspective.

We are so excited for you to listen to our stories, laugh with us, and hopefully find something relatable in it all. 

We hope you enjoy it! 🌱

This week we are joined by Rhianna Bolton from @rhiannabolton_fitness. Rhianna is a 21-year-old personal trainer from Donegal. From a young age, Rhianna struggled with her weight and body image. She suffered from body dysmorphia and binge eating throughout her teens. She tried many times to lose weight but only had success during the first lockdown in 2020. She now uses her experiences to train other girls online and help them reach their goals and their journeys to self-love. Rhianna tells us all about her fitness journey, body confidence, social media, starting a business at 20 years of age, and much more.

In this episode, we chat about the year we spent studying abroad, and everything that came with it. Moving to two different countries in the space of a year, when you don’t speak the languages is hard enough, but then throw in meeting new people, trying to find somewhere to live, and somehow figure out all your lectures/exams! We reminisce on our experiences and also give some tips on what we wish we had known/done. 

We also talk about the incredible moments and experiences we had on Erasmus, how the year contributed to our growth as people, how we took the good with the bad, and ultimately had one of the best years of our lives.

We hope you enjoy! 🌱

In episode 1 of the podcast, Eva and Sarah dive into the world of college. From questions like why did we even go to college, did we enjoy it, is it all it’s really cracked up to be, and how to pass exams (or not), to making friends, the infamous RAG weeks, and living in the library for weeks at a time, we answer the questions everyone seems to have about college, from a ‘been there done that’ perspective.
