This week, Beth drops the bombshell no one was expecting. She’s pressing pause on the podcast and taking a break to focus on her main‑character era. Beth reflects on how much she’s grown since episode one, from drinking a bottle of wine every week to being six months sober, sharing her ADHD and OCD journeys, and treating the pod like her weekly diary. The biggest shock may be that all of this was triggered by listening to Billy Joel on the bus (?) but she also shares the big Leo energy, career and money plans that have made her decide to step back for a while. There's lots of big things on the horizon for Beth (some you'll have to wait to see), along with a secret spam TikTok to keep you all up to date. It's not goodbye, it's see you later. She has to go her own way... (Thanks High School Musical) Email Beth at [email protected]

Beth is back and buzzing because life is finally life-ing. She shares her big girl job update, how things are feeling very “on the up,” and why she’s fully leaning into her Leo era. But of course, it wouldn’t be a simple life update without a little chaos. From crazy coffeeshop stories in Amsterdam, including not being able to find yourself in a “mirror” and getting the fear after a messy selfie, to still planning her future life on a €200k houseboat. There’s also a public apology to every girl who warned her about getting the coil (you were right). Got a dilemma or a thought you need to get off your chest? Email Beth at [email protected]

Hold on tight girls, you're in for a whirlwind this week as two of Finglas' greatest redheads are in the studio together. Beth is joined by Carly Mahady, who blew up online after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in her mid-20s. A certified messer, Carly has faced life through and after her illness with a big heart, a new lease of life and just a little bit of divilment. Beth and Carly talk their need for realness as two neurodivergent queens, the pressures and parasocial weirdness of being on social media and why finding whimsy in your hobbies, without turning them into side hustles, will bring you endless joy. Carly also shares her early signs and symptoms of breast cancer, along with the new found love she has for her body and all it does, letting her live fully and without fear.

This special bonus Palentine’s episode of Tipsy Topics sees Beth joined by the iconic Shane McCarthy for a wild and messy love dilemma. A listener writes in about discovering that her long-term boyfriend and her best friend have been secretly messaging, flirting and basically having an emotional affair behind her back. Beth and Shane don’t hold back as they unpack the betrayal, the “it just happened” excuses and the absolute audacity of the best friend who suddenly wants to talk it out. Although they're just short of gathering the balaclavas and eggs, they give some very real advice about self‑respect, boundaries and why you cannot heal in the same place that broke you. They dive into why jealousy and self-hate are often the reason behind this kind of behaviour, and how to cope when you lose both your partner and your closest friend in one go. But it's not all doom and gloom, Beth and Shane know that karma, therapy and hot girl summer energy can be big healers, and remembering that the one thing no one can take from you is your heart and your self-worth.

This Valentine’s Day, Tipsy Topics, I Said What I Said, and Unscripted come together for a very special crossover episode celebrating Palentine’s — because love isn’t just about romance, it’s about friendship, growth, and the people who get you through it all. Beth, Shane, and Niamh sit down for a no-filter, chaotic chat about love in all its forms. From unhinged first dates, to red flags and feral stories like getting sick during a very intimate moment, there's nothing but honesty here. The trio also play a game of Two Truths One Lie, talk about how you know someone is 'the one' and get deep talking about the importance of self-worth and self-love before anything else. With all the oversharing there's also ideas for your palentine's day plans, along with movie recommendations for the love birds and those who need to be reminded why love might not be all it's cracked up to be. Whether you’re single, taken, situationship-ing, or just here for the craic, this episode is your reminder that love comes in many forms, and sometimes the best ones are platonic.

Happy Tipsy Tuesday! Beth is back with a big catch up after her whirlwind trip to Amsterdam. She might’ve only been there for two days, but a LOT happened. From a bizarre train encounter that had Beth convinced a man was trying to voodoo steal her destiny, to mob-wife energy locals fully believing she was about to kidnap their dogs. Running on zero sleep after staying up all night making a scrapbook for Will, Beth spills her plans for his 21st, the reason she was bawling on public transport the day before, and why airports are genuinely her idea of hell. We also find out that Beth used to ask for rats for Christmas (??), and why for the first time ever, she’s finding long-distance love actually really tough.

After months of trying, Beth has finally convinced her booked and busy Mam, Deirdre, to join her on the pod for a BIG long-overdue catch up. They may fight like cats and dogs (and go as far as blocking each other) but there are definitely similarities between Beth and her Mam. From shopping addictions to guilty consciences, they talk through their shared traits that are good, and the ones that maybe need some work. There are many lessons to learn from this conversation, including the problem with selling your daughter's vintage Juicy Couture on Vinted for a tenner, and why you should never throw eggs EVER (because your Mam will march you down to apologise) We also learn that Beth owes about €10,000 in damages to her Mam's house, and that neither of them would stand a chance on 'The Traitors' because of their inability to tell lies. Deirdre also offers some solid Mam advice on what you should look for in a partner, how to get a job and why it's important that you always take the high road.

Beth is back for a big catch-up and honestly, she had a LOT to get off her chest. From favourite knickers to post-coil period cries, Beth chats hormones, gym delusions and the Leo energy she's excited for this year. There’s also a very necessary rant about internet idiots, protecting your peace when the world feels unhinged, and why Beth is genuinely considering creating her own Noah-style ark (animals and Will only, applications required). Beth also has a big moment of growth as she reacts to encountering her toxic ex for the first time since they broke up, and shares how she's realised time actually does heal (even when you swear it never will).

Girl... You are not ready for this week's episode with one of Ireland's biggest TikTok icons, Shane McCarthy. He brought the follicles all the way to Dublin for a very special double episode with Beth (catch part two on his podcast 'I Said What I Said') and as you would expect it is chaotic, honest and a whole lot of oversharing. Shane tells Beth about the crazy last two years of his life, from blowing up on TikTok to coming out as gay and finding his first every boyfriend. All of this is a testament to the decision Shane made to be 100% his true and authentic self, and we all love him for it! It's not always been easy though, navigating life as a gay Irish traveller, dealing with discrimination and haters online, but Shane shares what keeps him going through it all and why his big mission is to represent his community and educate people. There's also chats about long distance love, influencer realness and ADHD tangents, along with a celebration of self-acceptance. Got a story to share?

As the year comes to a close, Beth is hitting pause for a real and honest 2025 recap - the highs, to the lows and everything in between. From finally getting her ADHD diagnosis and graduating college against the odds, to realising drinking wasn’t serving her and facing job rejection head-on, Beth looks back at the moments that shaped her year and the lessons she’s learned. She also shares what she’s officially leaving behind in 2025 including people pleasing and outside opinions, along with why she's embracing trusting herself and staying consistent (even when it feels pointless) to have a real mental glow up in 2026.

It’s meant to be the most wonderful time of the year but if you’re not in your festive feels, Beth is right there with you. From forced Christmas cheer and family pressure to productive vlogmas and “perfect” lives all over your feed, Beth chats honestly about why December can feel overwhelming, and why that’s completely normal. She opens up about comparison, anxiety and making peace with doing Christmas your way, before diving into your Instagram dilemmas.

You might think you’ve heard this story before but Beth is officially three months sober and this time she’s got the receipts and the revelations. She spills on why her first sober girl era flopped (spoiler: you clocking her drunk outside the club), why she thought avoiding nights out would fix everything, and what’s actually changed to make sobriety stick this time around. From better relationships to a clearer head to finally understanding her ADHD patterns, Beth shares the real benefits no one talks about, plus her best tips for drinking mindfully, dodging peer pressure and surviving silly season without losing the plot. If you’ve ever said “I’m never drinking again” (and lied), this episode is for you. Got a story to share? Get in touch with Beth by emailing [email protected]

Beth’s boyfriend Will is back on the pod and the last time he was here, the pair were secretly in the middle of a blazing row. Cute! So this time, Beth brings him on to chat about how far they’ve come, how her giving up drink has transformed their relationship, and the set of totally unhinged “rules” they now swear by (wait until you hear about the elbow one). They dive into all the cultural clashes of an Irish-girl/English-boy relationship, from college life to class differences and funeral etiquette, including the chaotic story behind the funeral that turned into a wild party, and even made them go viral on TikTok. And of course, Beth gets soft sharing the weird coincidences that make her think Will might actually be her soulmate. Even if she still has no idea how to break it to her very Irish granny that she’s fallen for the enemy. Got a story to share? Get in touch with Beth by emailing [email protected]

Dylan Lee Kenny has taken over all of our FYPs this year with his chaotic humour and unbelievable life stories, so of course Beth had to get him behind the mic. Beth chats with Dylan about how he blew up online, what the people of his hometown in Fatima really think of his TikTok fame, and why he refuses to be lumped in with the “fake influencer” crowd. Now six months sober after years of partying, drama and nearly being sex-trafficked in Amsterdam, Dylan opens up about the messy, emotional and hilarious parts of getting his life together. From losing “session friends” to realising not everyone grew up the way he did, he tells Beth about the reality of sobriety, self-worth, and whether he needs therapy, a diagnosis, or just more sass (which he still has in abundance).
