The Truth Behind “I’m Fine"

May 6, 2026 · 40 min

Show notes

Aisling and Katie are back with a new episode of It Is What It Is.

Katie opens up about her recent trip away and the truth behind how she was really feeling. What should have been a break brought up more than expected, as she shares how her nervous system has quietly shaped her reactions for years and why feeling calm can sometimes feel unfamiliar.

Aisling reflects on how these thoughts are more common than people admit, before opening up about her own recent struggles. She shares how things in her life have crashed and burned, how outside family situations have affected her, and how it left her lying in bed all day, knowing that is not who she is, but still feeling stuck.

They talk honestly about acceptance, the things you cannot control, and the real work it takes to feel okay with being happy.
