About this listen

IT IS WHAT IT IS! is hosted by radio presenter Katie Sheehan and Aisling Unfiltered.

Katie is a radio presenter known for honest, straight talking conversations about real life as it actually happens. Aisling is a well known TikTok creator with over 120,000 followers, recognised for saying what others are thinking and refusing to sugar coat lived experience.

This podcast is about real life as it really is. The messy bits. The hard lessons. The things you only learn by going through it.

They talk openly about what they have lived through, what has worked for them, what has not, and what they wish they knew sooner. They also sit down with real people to talk about real experiences, without filters or pretending.

Nothing is off limits. No stone is left unturned. If people are living it, we are talking about it.

Because sometimes the only honest thing you can say is it is what it is.

    Episode 4 begins with a message from a listener struggling in her relationship.

    Katie and Aisling open up about relationships in all their forms. The healthy ones, the difficult but fixable ones, and the ones that slowly become toxic. They touch on gaslighting, coercive control, breadcrumbing, and the moments where self doubt creeps in.

    They also share parts of their own past relationships, talk about what children witness in unhealthy dynamics, and why learning to be alone can be powerful. Heavy at times, honest throughout, and balanced with plenty of laughs.

    If you’ve ever questioned your relationship, this episode is for you.

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion of suicide and suicide attempts. Listener discretion is advised.

    In episode two of It Is What It Is, Aisling and Katie are back for a conversation that moves between laughter, honesty, and real talk.

    What begins with a listener message opens the door to a powerful discussion around suicide, survival, and the moments that quietly change everything. Aisling reflects on supporting a close friend through their darkest time, while Katie shares the lowest point of her own life and the road back from it.

    They talk about how hard it is to protect your inner circle and how, even when you try, people still slip into the bubble. They explore why mastering that boundary is one of the hardest things to do, and how the people you surround yourself with can shape how you feel, think, and cope every single day.

    This episode is honest and open in the tools that helped them keep going, without pretending the hard parts were ever easy.
