FEMME TOTALE

Dear listeners, it’s giving power suits, pelvic health, Dior and Dolce gossip. This week, we are joined by our brilliant and beautiful friend Dr. Aisling Loy — one of just twelve GUM (Genito-Urinary Medicine) specialists in Ireland. She’s here to demystify sexual health, talk all things, and remind us why getting tested is the ultimate act of self-care. We dive into how Aisling found her calling (...

Dear beautiful listeners and watchers, We are back. We survived the summer (barely), and while we may look like we’ve just stepped off a yacht from a white party in Saint-Tropez... the truth? We threw on an outfit, hopped in the car, parked it like we stole it, and decided — no plan, no prep — let’s do a podcast. Just pure, unfiltered, unhinged fabulous energy. This episode? It’s chaos. It’s catha...

Dear gorgeous listeners/viewers, It’s giving prairie dress vs silky PJs, IKEA meatballs, and almost getting kicked out of Chanel for not having an appointment! This week, we are wrapping up our very first season — and what better way to do it than with a brand-new studio, your juicy questions, and zero filter.😉 We moved into D2 Studios, did a little decorating, survived IKEA without breaking up,...

Dear beautiful people, it’s giving vanilla dreams, sculpting onesies, and a yellow canary bag that’s not a bird — it’s fashion. This week, we’re dressed like desserts and joined by the fabulous Marjia — perfume oracle, fashion queen, and the divine nose behind Perfumeria. Ivana once wandered into her store looking for Clive Christian “X” — only to be told it didn’t pass Marjia’s sniff test. Marjia...

Hello sweet angels, This week we’re throwing diet culture in the bin (next to self-loathing) with the divine Niamh Orbinski — author, podcaster, intuitive eating coach, yoga teacher, therapist-in-training, and all-round nourishment fairy. Ivana and Niamh get into it: food obsession, body shame, dieting since 14, eating a sleeve of Oreos while breastfeeding, and the truly radical act of saying, “My...

The Vinyl Pants Episode Dear Humans, it’s giving shiny, squeaky, London latex, and a top tip you didn’t know you needed: lube your trousers. This week, we’re talking vinyl pants, Banshee bingeing, and the sheer freedom of not giving a single damn what people think. Catherine’s not using a pillow, Ivana’s using three, and somehow — it all makes sense. We are revisiting the madness of Banshee, the f...

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 Sequins Episode Ladies. It’s giving glitter, silver, girl maths, and a Zara search so advanced it should count as a tech skill.  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 wi...

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...
