In my second episode with Caroline, we talk about how you can be a better friend or romantic partner if the person you're with is struggling with anxiety. We also talk about how you can advise your partner and explain how you're feeling if you're the one experiencing it.

November 29, 2019 #33: Friendship break-ups: Are they harder than romantic ones? With Orla McConnon
Orla and I talk about friendships of ours that ended, whether with a fight or a fizzle, and question why it is that friendships ending aren't grieved they way romantic break-ups are. We talk about why friendships end, and Orla basically gives me free therapy about a friendship that ended for me after 16 years. That and lots more!

November 22, 2019 #32: Celebrity cheating scandals with Caitlin McBride
We talk about the couples that shocked us with their cheating scandals (from Tiger Woods to Brad Pitt) we talk in (too much) depth about the royals, we get into a serious deep dive about Meghan Markle and we list the couples that, where they to break up, would make us lose all faith in love.

November 15, 2019 #31: Being the other woman, and when should dating become 'official'
In this agony aunt-style episode, influencer Niamh O'Sullivan and I answer some of the questions listeners to the podcast have sent in. We hear from a woman who is currently casually seeing her ex, but he's still with the girl he cheated on her with. Complicated, to say the least. We also look at when your casual dating relationship should become official, and how to approach it when your partner can't finish during sex. All that and more!

Author Caroline Foran felt that way in her teens and twenties, and she talks to me in this episode so honestly about her experience and how eventually she found herself, her ability to orgasm and the point of the whole endeavour.

October 18, 2019 #27: Knowing when it’s over (and the tests to do when you’re not sure) with Laura Cunningham
Laura is back to chat to me about the long goodbye - staying in a relationship you know is over out of fear of being single, fear of making a mistake, or just because it’s easier. We also talk a bit about why Love Island is basically the Gaeltacht. Enjoy!
