With Catherine away this week, Ivana takes the wheel and the podcast shifts gears — it’s time for Notions’ very first guest interview. And what a guest to start with: former international footballer, RTÉ pundit, award-winning author, and qualified psychotherapist Richie Sadlier.

In this wide-ranging and thoughtful chat, Richie opens up about his journey from professional sport to psychotherapy and the issues that matter most to him now. Ivana and Richie dive into big topics — from the gaps in sex education for teens, to the impact (and misinformation) of porn, to youth mental health and the contrasts between Irish and American approaches.

It’s a smart, honest, and at times challenging conversation — but one full of compassion, insight, and a lot of notions worth having.

We’re talking tulle, sequins, and the absolute chaos of mixing ADHD meds with coffee (don’t do it, darling!)

Ivana’s booked and busy in The Astronaut, we’re talking Ozempic, love yourself always, and yes — we go there: Profhilo Sculptra, chin hairs, and moles with a little too much personality. There's also belly dancing with the girls.

It’s unhinged, it’s heartfelt, it may include government wine… and it’s wrapped in love. Lots and lots of love.

The Denim Episode

Everywhere you look—Instagram, group chats, gym mirrors—someone has a take on style and beauty.

Pink jeans? Onesies at Pilates? Botox or facelift? We’re unpacking it all—what works, what doesn't, and what our husbands definitely hate (spoiler: it’s most of it). From barrel jeans to bootcuts, fake tans to skinny mirrors, and Emsella chairs to HRT, this episode goes deep on what’s good, what’s hard, and everything in between. Get ready for a no-filter ride through the fashion, fixes, and fails of real-life —with sass, smarts, and a truck full of notions .....
