Soulstyle Studio

This week we look at how much is too much, just in time for November. We start with the things we never thought we’d end up doing, and what turning 45 really feels like. Then it’s overdoing it in fashion, beauty and spirituality. We cover wardrobe detoxes, Botox and skin longevity versus anti-aging, Mercury retrograde, and the cinnamon on the door on the first of the month. The homework for Black...

Sinead, Alvagh and Nessa catch up after a busy few weeks. They talk wardrobe declutters and the joy of a space that works, plus how to cope when work, family and caring for a parent all land at once. Think boundaries, taking it one plate at a time and giving yourself a break. Along the way: Florence and Malta travel reviews, Joanne McNally on Fallon, and getting started with reformer Pilates. Join...

This week we keep it light with a round of Would You Rather, and it gets more honest than we planned. We talk about the soul habit Sinead has been craving back, how reformer Pilates is becoming a real self-care ritual, and why a spritz of face mist counts as a signal to your nervous system. Then the questions start. Would you rather know your future or change your past? Be right or be happy? Know...

Sorry this one is a week late. Sinéad had a week of it, so we're blaming her. This week: money blocks, getting out of your own way, and a listener asks what to do when her in-laws talk about her behind her back. Plus your homework: who's really sitting by your fire? Tickets for our live event on 8 November are in the link below. https://soulstyle.ie/workshops.html Hosted on Acast. See acas...

Why Manifesting Isn't Working for You The beliefs quietly blocking what you say you want You say you want the new bathroom, more money or more freedom, but something keeps getting in the way. This week Alvagh explains the real rules of manifesting: why saying "I need" works against you, how the Irish relationship with money holds us back, and why buying the bath mat matters. Plus, on...

This week: a sold-out Reiki retreat to Mary Magdalene country in France, a nasty Instagram comment that sparks a rant on men policing women's bodies, the Sydney Sweeney sports ad backlash, and Mary McAleese stepping down from the GAA-LGFA-Camogie integration committee over unequal pay. The hosts talk patriarchy, women undermining each other, and why progress on gender equality feels stuck. Plus a...

**** Trigger Warning**** Pregnancy and loss Soul Style Studio is back after their first Zoom hangout with listeners, and it did not disappoint. This week Sinéad, Nessa and Alvagh dig into the Let Them theory: is it genuinely useful, or just a soft way of excusing bad behaviour? Alvagh brings her take from the mindset side, Nessa gets into the September reset for wardrobes and the two coats actuall...

Sinéad, Nessa and Alvagh talk about growing up before mobile phones. Waiting by the landline for someone to ring, tapping payphones for free calls, three TV channels, taping songs off the radio, meeting people at Clery's clock with no way to contact them if plans changed. They also cover old beauty habits like sunbeds, baby oil tanning and DIY hair dye gone wrong, plus school with 40 to 50 kids in...

Recapping our first Soul Style workshop, and finally answering "what is Soul Style?" Alvagh teaches how to catch the stories you're telling yourself ("nobody has any money," "I'm so disorganised") and choose a different perspective. Nessa shows how the same jeans, jumper and blouse can build three different looks, plus the moment a woman finally wore a dress she'd owned for 10 years but thought sh...

This week we're all deep in event prep. Sunday's crept up on us and we're feeling it. We talk Irish beauty brands we can't stop raving about (RIP to every international brand that used to have our loyalty), then get into the real stuff: green flags and red flags in friendship, why some friendships just need to end, and the one physical sign, a literal knot in your stomach, that tells you before yo...

This week we're talking about ambition and how it changes as we get older. From chasing the next promotion, the house, the babies, to realising success might just be waking up without a knot in your tummy. We get into the pressure to keep up (with trends, with everyone else, with an anti-ageing world that never lets up), why worrying is just worshipping the problem, and how to redefine what "enoug...

What's the one purchase you'd make again in a heartbeat? This week the we open our wallets (and our hearts) on the best money we've ever spent and the answers are not what you'd expect! We've a small Soul Style workshop on the 23rd of August in Killashee House from 11 to 2. Makeup with Sinéad, styling with Nessa and mindset with Alvagh, all hands on and properly intimate Buy tickets here https://w...

We're back together after two of us ran off on our holidays. This week we're talking non negotiables, the things we'd never give up no matter what. Alvagh on keeping spirituality real and her nightly gratitude jar. Sinéad on the beauty basics that matter more than any pricey product. Nessa on wearing whatever brings her joy, even the trousers people stare at. We've a small Soul Style workshop on t...

This week it's all about social media, the good, the bad, and the completely ridiculous. Alvagh takes aim at the "spirituality in a sentence" crowd and the men queuing up to tell women how to heal. Nessa explains why the algorithm has quietly hauled fashion and body image back to the '90s, before-and-after photos and all. And Sinéad gets honest about overconsumption, the pressure to explain her ow...

This week we're talking perspective and why women are so much harder on themselves than they'd ever be on a friend. From childhood conditioning and the "Fat " nickname, to gym culture, aging, and the pressure that's shifted from our bodies to our faces, we get honest about where our self-criticism comes from and how to reframe it. Plus, Sinéad lets rip at a famous makeup brand owner over dupe cult...

The stuff no one warns you about. Skin that suddenly rejects the makeup you've worn for years, dress sizes that mean nothing, and the constant pressure to look 20 again. This week we get honest about chasing "glass skin," why the number on your clothes is made up, and how to stop comparison stealing your joy. Plus salmon sperm under the eyes, three sizes in every wardrobe, and one 20-second habit...
