The capitalist society that we live in requires us to live very structured and rigid lives that often means picking between routine over community. Is there a way we can build community into our routine? Or does that completely defeat the purpose of community and disregard the spontaneity required to truly be apart of a community?

Hellooo my lovelies, back this week with a little life update, house update, reading update, and of course part two of last weeks 'face dysmorphia & perception drift: the cost of beauty trends' episode. In this second part I take a deep dive into my want from a young age to get a nose job, as well as how hyper-fixating on things can result in having a cognitive bias that only makes our hate towards that thing even even more extreme and irrational.

Some beauty trends are just a bit of fun regardless of how much we might cringe at them further down the line, like with the 'blush-blind' trend we're now seeing all over TikTok, but other beauty trends can actually be extremely damaging, and cause serious issues with body and face dysmorphia, perception drift, and put pressure on people to alter and manipulate their natural features. Hyper-fixating on features that don't fit the current beauty fads can cause us to negatively spiral and make permanent changes to fit temporary trends, which begs the question, should features or body types ever be trends?

When did it become ok to globally debate someones gender? Put yourself in this woman's shoes and imagine your gender was getting publicly questioned and scrutinised, with people hurling abuse at you and telling you you're evil and not deserving. Gender is not as black or white as we have all been taught growing up, DSD is a lot more common than you think. Let's call this 'controversy' out for what it is, sexist, racist, and transphobic.

Choice feminism is something that has arisen in recent years that encourages women to choose what’s best for them, whether it’s to do with anything from their work to their body, as long as they have chosen to do so, it can be justified as an act of ‘feminism’, but is that what feminism is? Or does this ignore the fact that there are patriarchal norms that the feminist movement needs to fight in order to gain gender-equality? And if these choices we make are empowering to us, maybe we should just call it what it is, female empowerment? ✨wake up sunshine playlist✨ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3pPWiDq7K5EiAmN1Xj1U3X?si=fbcce897f5744673 Learn more about your ad choices.

So excited to be back with another girly chats episode for you guys! We talk about getting back together with an ex, whether you stand a chance as someone's rebound, building your confidence on social media, exploring your sexuality, going back to uni at 22 and making friends, and getting over your fear of going to the gym. Thanks for sending in your dilemmas❤️

Let's talk about friendships and how they differ from romantic relationships in so many ways. What standards and expectations should we have of our friends? How do we accept friendships for what they are and what they bring to your life? Does every friend have a fatal flaw that you have to decide whether you can live with or not? Communication within friendships can sometimes feel like a minefield for me, knowing where the line is on what's important and needs to be discussed vs what's not worth causing a fuss over and can be swept under the rug is something I'm still trying to work out😅

Is it just me, or is the amount of options / paths you can take and lives you can live seem ridiculously overwhelming? Like what if I want to be an island girl and a city girl? What if I want to be a diving instructor in Thailand, an English teacher in Barcelona, a stripper in New York, and a chef in Paris? Can we do it all? Is it possible to live all these different lives and do them well? Or do we have to pick one and stick to it... but what if that decision isn't the 'right' one?

I feel like the words compromise and sacrifice are two words we hear ALL the time when talking about making relationships work, but do we take compromise too far sometimes to the point that we're actually just settling or lowering our standards? What actually is compromise and how does it play out in a relationship that is beneficial for both people?

Is there something in the water or is it just the quarterly crisis? Between final year of uni coming to an end and going through a breakup, I feel like I don't know myself? Maybe we're in our re-find ourselves era..

On this weeks episode I'm diving into the various methods which Phil Stutz teaches or as he calls them 'tools' that he has developed over years of working as a therapist that have really helped him and his clients. This episode follows on from January's 'does your mental health depend on your relationship with your physical body?' episode, where I talked about Stutz's life force pyramid theory, after watching his Netflix documentary, which sparked me to read his book, The Tools.

The word alcoholic has become a bit of a dirty word, it has negative connotations and negative stereotypes associated with it, but in actual fact.. we pretty much all have dependency issues when it comes to alcohol even if we don't want to admit it or see it as a problem. If I told you you couldn't drink for the next year of your life, wouldn't you panic? It has become so normalised and ingrained into our society, working its way into every occasion, event, celebration, break-up, day ending in y, basically no matter what the occurrence, why wouldn't alcohol be involved? On this weeks episode I'm unpacking mine and society's relationship with alcohol, debating how I want it to be a part of my life, and why it's important for me to build a life that doesn't revolve around waiting for the next drink and avoiding my emotions by reaching for the bottle.  Music by Jorge Gill https://www.instagram.com/jorgegill/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/06gZcKE43fmppPdPVYG8HV?si=i9Tt-h45SuS9swgmxy0g4A

Hellooo my queens❤️ recently I watched Jonah Hills movie on Netflix, Stutz, where Jonah discusses with his therapist, Phil Stutz, the various methods or as he calls them 'tools' that he has learned over years of therapy that have really helped him in his life.

This was actually very therapeutic for me to talk through, hopefully it sparks something in you or gives you some ideas of how you would like your 2023 to look. Lots of love xxx

Is free booze + a load of work colleagues thrown together always a recipe for disaster? On this week's episode I'm spilling the tea on all your juicy Christmas party stories🤫 Merry Christmas everyone❤️❤️❤️

I'm sure by now we're all pretty familiar with having the most basic things mansplained to us, from how to make a cup of tea, to the degree that we're actually studying. In this episode I'm reading out the most ridiculous things you guys have had mansplained to you, the most ridiculous and elaborate lies a man has ever told you (and a lot of the time got away with?!), and of course the most embarrassing things us simps have done for a man who wouldn't lift his pinky finger for you❤️ I think this episode has turned me celibate for a while. 

As the old saying goes 'Don't let perfect be the enemy of good' and that's what this weeks episode is all about. How striving for perfection can prevent you from getting things done, where this all or nothing mentality comes from, and how to find a balance that works for you and doesn't make you feel burnt out and over-worked. 

We're back with another girly chats episode where I answer all the questions you're too scared to ask your friends! This week we talk about complimenting your partner and why it's so important, whether or not you should still be attracted to people when in a relationship, how you know if you're in love, and so much more😙 

Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. Is 'that girl' just Gen Z's version of the millennial 'girlboss'? repackaged with a slicked back bun and a pair of gold hoops? In this week's episode I'm discussing the various forms of so called 'feminism' that have evolved as a result of neoliberalism. From Margaret Thatcher to Sophia Amoruso, I discuss how women stepping into positions of power isn't always a success for women or feminism.  Relevant article links: https://utopia-the-edit.ie/2022/03/29/hustle-cultures-cosmetic-feminism-the-redundant-girlboss-trope/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/06/girlbosses-what-comes-next/613519/ https://fashionjournal.com.au/life/that-girl-tiktok-trend/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/5db8ek/tiktok-youtube-viral-trend-that-girl-internet-genz-challenge

I spoke about seasonal depression briefly in a recent episode, but since the clocks going back and the days getting much shorter, I figured we all could do with some tips to get us through it, so with your help I composed a list of 30 tips to help us through winter this year🥰

Who would've thought I'd be here reading out your embarrassing sex stories..... but here I am. Hope you enjoy this one, basically me laughing for 30 mins straight😅

Do you think it's important to share the same political beliefs as your partner? On this week's episode of Here For The Craic, I'm telling you my non negotiables when it comes to dating, my major red flags, and discussing what is important to agree on or ok to disagree on.

Back with number 4 of the girly chats series. This week we're discussing getting over your ex, how to deal with having trust issues, contraceptions, dealing with housemates, coping with season depression, and heaps more!!! 

TW some talk (nothing in depth) of eating disorders. In this weeks episode I'm discussing everything that helps me in my journey to self acceptance, whether that's my body, face, life, or just me as a person. Everyone struggles at some point in their life with self acceptance, and it's not something you reach one day and all of a sudden think, wow I accept myself wholly and don't need to think about this anymore. It's a lifelong journey that will have dips and peaks but will always require conscious effort to undo certain habits or thought patterns and to critically analyse the constant messages that we are bombarded with by the media on a daily basis. This is big topic and something I've wanted to discuss for a while now, and for some reason this week it just felt right🥰 I really hope this episode helps some of you in some way, shape or form, whether it's just by giving you a little motivation, or by shifting your mindset completely. Love you all lots and remember you are so much more than your appearance❤️

This week I'm telling all your post break up stories after asking what's the craziest thing you or your ex did post break up. Sit back and listen as I spill the teaaaa🤫

Does money=happiness? Does being successful bring contentment? What gives you purpose and how do you achieve daily fulfilment? On today's episode we are answering some big questions, and getting to the bottom of what really matters on this weird and wonderful floating rock. I really hope you enjoy this episode because it really put me at ease and into a better mind set just by talking about these things and reading your answers🥰❤️

Following on from last weeks episode 'Is it ever ok to cheat on your partner?', this week I'm back to share more of your juicy cheating stories🤫

This weeks episode we are diving into cheating and discussing whether it's ever ok, if you should stay in a relationship after being cheated on, and plenty more! Plus you guys sent in your juicy cheating stories for me to tell, don't worry they're all anon🤫

Right on time for starting uni this September, I'm giving you my uni related tips that I wish someone told me when I was starting!! From organisational tips to general uni life advice, these are 14 things that I hope will help you all starting (or returning to) university🥰

Who doesn't love a good cry? I put up a poll on my Instagram story asking for the funniest and most ridiculous things you guys have cried at and if there's one thing I've learnt about all of us, it's that we are criers. 

This weeks episode I'm talking everything from gender roles and norms to stereotypes, binaries, the sexualisation of women's bodies, and the ever-changing beauty standard. This is a huge topic and I'm only scratching the surface!!! The book I refer to throughout this podcast is called Girls Will Be Girls by Emer O'Toole.

This week's episode I'm hopping on the he's a 10 but bandwagon and giving you an update/recap of my mole removal surgery. This was so funny to record, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed recording it!!!🥰

Hello lovelies, back with number 4 in the girly chats series and here to give my (questionable) take on all of your dilemmas!

Have you ever wondered what your love language is but never bothered to look into it? This weeks episode I'm talking all about the 5 love languages and doing the love language quiz to find out what mine is. It's important to know that love languages aren't mutually exclusive and actually most people are a combination of all 5 of them, but knowing what's important to you and your partner can make the world of a difference when it comes to communicating love.  Link for the quiz I did on this episode: https://www.psychologies.co.uk/test/whats-your-love-language/ Link for the quiz I refer to that gives you percentages of all 5: https://5lovelanguages.com

This weeks episode is all about alcohol in our culture and how we view it as a society, my love/hate relationship with it, and how we can start to make plans that don't always revolve around alcohol. Don't get me wrong, I love a good drink, I just hate my relationship with it and how it feels like an inevitable of socialising. Enjoy💕

Hi everyone!  This weeks episode I'm discussing International Women's Day, feminism and racism within the feminist movement. I fully understand and acknowledge that I am by no means the most marginalised woman in society and it is extremely important to listen to the voices of black women, brown women, trans women, asian women, disabled women and ALL other types of women. Tackling gender inequality will never work if you only focus on white feminism and fail to address the oppression faced by ethnic minority women and women lacking other privileges, so DO NOT STOP HERE. I do not speak perfectly on these issues but I would rather speak imperfectly about them and be corrected if needs be, rather than not speak about them at all.  Thanks so much for your continued support.

I have so much more to tell when it comes to travelling so there will definitely be some more podcasts in the future around this topic. If you have anything specifically you would like me to cover please drop me a message on instagram @emmaneill_ Really hope you enjoy this one.  Thanks for listening!
