The Beginning of Speaking Up

January 7, 2026 · 43 min

Show notes

In Episode 1, Katie Sheehan, Radio Presenter, and Aisling Unfiltered, Social Media Influencer, sit down for the very first time to introduce who they are, how they met, and why this podcast exists.

What starts as a simple introduction quickly moves into deeper territory. They speak honestly about self worth, shared experiences of surgery, and the impact of sexual abuse, all while keeping space for real laughs and genuine connection.

This episode sets the tone for what’s to come. Open conversations, no pretending, and a podcast rooted in truth, growth, and showing up as you are.

This is the beginning.
