Katie is flying solo in this episode of It Is What It Is as Aisling takes a step back, and this one goes deep.

Katie opens up about her relationship with alcohol, addiction, and the patterns that can quietly take hold before you even realise it. She speaks honestly about the darker moments, the turning points, and what it actually takes to make real change when you feel stuck.

This episode is raw and personal, with Katie sharing parts of her story she hasn’t fully explored before. From recognising habits that no longer serve you, to pulling yourself out of difficult places, she talks through the mindset shifts and practical steps that helped her move forward.

It is an open, real conversation about accountability, growth, and proving to yourself that change is possible, even when it feels out of reach.

Katie and Aisling are back and this week, they are not holding back.

They are joined by their first ever guest, Maria McCarthy, also known as Miss Mac Fit, and they get straight into it.

Maria opens up about what it is really like to be single in 2026, sharing some of the most shocking dating stories you will hear. The kind that make you laugh, cringe, and question everything.

The girls unpack it all, from red flags to situationships, in a conversation so many women will relate to.

Maria also shares her experience of living in Australia, with honest and funny insights for anyone thinking of making the move.

Plus, she opens up about how she became a personal trainer after gaining weight following pregnancy and losing it again, sharing what actually worked and how that journey shaped her.

In this episode of It Is What It Is, Katie walks in with nothing but ten questions. No plan, no structure, just ten hard, thought provoking questions that open the door to real, honest conversation.

What starts as a simple idea quickly unfolds into something much bigger. From uncomfortable truths to the things we usually avoid saying out loud, nothing is off limits.

Katie and Aisling bounce between laughter and real moments, asking each other the kind of questions most people would dodge. The result is genuinely reflective.

This episode is less about answers and more about what comes up when you actually stop and think.

It might make you question things. It might hit a nerve. It might even change how you see yourself.
