Repeating Our Parents Pattern's "We Swore we would never repeat"

Katie and Aisling are back with another episode of It Is What It Is and this one goes deep.

They open up about family dynamics and the unspoken roles so many people grow up with. From the golden child to the black sheep, the overlooked one to the one expected to hold everything together, nothing is off limits. They talk honestly about control, pressure, and the impact it can have long after childhood ends.

This episode gets personal as both Katie and Aisling reflect on their own upbringings, the hurt they carried, and how it shaped them. They also face the harder side of things, opening up about the ways they feel they may have passed some of that pain on, and what they have done to break those patterns.

It is reflective, and full of moments that will make you stop and think about your own story.
