After a week of navigating post-Love Island blues, local weekend market strolls, and a honest reflection on how easily summer schedules can burn us out, I’m back with an episode that balances couch comfort with practical ways to reclaim your time and find your spark again. This episode moves seamlessly from chatting about what to watch on the telly to blowing the cobwebs off old passions.
In this episode, we’re catching up on:
The 9 PM Void, Irish Villa Stars & Social Media Backlash
Love Island is officially over, and we are left staring at the screen wondering what to watch every night! We’re chatting through the finale, why it’s hard to stay fully hooked once the Irish islanders leave, and why Charlene Murphy would be an absolute top-tier pick for Love Island All-Stars. Plus, a look at Fitzy and Lola enjoying their time together in Galway, and why the online backlash against reality TV stars needs to stop.
Mindless TV Comforts, Prequels & Solo Market Days
From the ultimate mindless fluff of Million Dollar Nannies on Disney+ to comfort reruns of Sex and the City on Now TV and eyeing up the new Legally Blonde prequel series (Elle) on Amazon, I’m sharing what’s keeping me entertained after a long work day. Plus, why taking a quiet morning to check out local weekend markets like Terryglass and Ballingarry—pizza, baked treats, and dog walks included—is the best way to reset your battery.
Social Battery Management, \"Double-Booked Weekends\" & Dusting Off the Decks
Peak summer has a habit of hijacking our calendars until we’re running on empty. We’re breaking down how to manage \"double-booked weekends\" and why finding yourself again starts with reclaiming just one hour for something you purely love. I’m sharing my own experience of dusting off my old DJ gear and setting up the decks after way too long—and why blowing the cobwebs off an old hobby is the ultimate self-care.
Spill the Tea: TikTok Heartbreak & Wedding Panic
The Spill the Tea inbox is hopping this week!
First, Jessica is in total shock after her ex moved to the UK claiming he was \"heartbroken\"—only to hard-launch a new relationship two months later while sowing his wild oats.
Finally, Maeve is panicking about seeing her ex and his new partner at an upcoming wedding and asks whether she should hire a last-minute date.
I’m giving my unfiltered, direct advice on all three!
