Three friends. No script, just honest chat.
Hosted by Sinead, Alvagh and Nessa, SoulStyle Studio is about remembering who you are and giving yourself permission to be a bit more fabulous while you’re at it. Beauty, style, mindset and the stuff women actually deal with every day, told straight, with the laughs left in.
Life’s too serious. Pull up a chair.

Feeling Overwhelmed? How to Cope When Life Gets a Lot
Sinead, Alvagh and Nessa catch up after a busy few weeks. They talk wardrobe declutters and the joy of a space that works, plus how to cope when work, family and caring for a parent all land at once. Think boundaries, taking it one plate at a time and giving yourself a break.
Along the way: Florence and Malta travel reviews, Joanne McNally on Fallon, and getting started with reformer Pilates.
Join us for our self-care day on Sunday 8 November, 11am to 2pm, at Barberstown Castle. Tickets are on soulstyle.ie.

Would You Rather Know What Everyone Thinks of You?
This week we keep it light with a round of Would You Rather, and it gets more honest than we planned.
We talk about the soul habit Sinead has been craving back, how reformer Pilates is becoming a real self-care ritual, and why a spritz of face mist counts as a signal to your nervous system. Then the questions start.
Would you rather know your future or change your past? Be right or be happy? Know what everyone really thinks of you, or never know? We also tackle the most ridiculous things we’ve bought thinking they’d change our lives, plus homework: a quick audit of your makeup bag.
Soulfile Self-Care is on November 8th at Barberstown Castle. Tickets are on sale now.
If you want it shorter for the main description field, here’s a two-line version:
A light-hearted Would You Rather that turns into big questions about the future, regrets, and being right versus being happy. Plus the soul habit we’re craving back, and your homework: a makeup bag audit.

Why Your In-Laws Don't Like You
Sorry this one is a week late. Sinéad had a week of it, so we're blaming her.
This week: money blocks, getting out of your own way, and a listener asks what to do when her in-laws talk about her behind her back.
Plus your homework: who's really sitting by your fire?

Why Manifesting Isn't Working for You
Why Manifesting Isn't Working for You
The beliefs quietly blocking what you say you want
You say you want the new bathroom, more money or more freedom, but something keeps getting in the way. This week Alvagh explains the real rules of manifesting: why saying "I need" works against you, how the Irish relationship with money holds us back, and why buying the bath mat matters.
Plus, one sentence to finish that shows what's stopping you, and Sinéad's eye roll on cheap electricity for data centres.

The GAA Equality Row, Sydney Sweeney's Ad Backlash, and a Sold-Out Reiki Retreat"
This week: a sold-out Reiki retreat to Mary Magdalene country in France, a nasty Instagram comment that sparks a rant on men policing women's bodies, the Sydney Sweeney sports ad backlash, and Mary McAleese stepping down from the GAA-LGFA-Camogie integration committee over unequal pay. The hosts talk patriarchy, women undermining each other, and why progress on gender equality feels stuck. Plus a nostalgia round on 90s snacks and TV, and homework to actually phone a friend this week.

Is "Let Them" Just an Excuse for Bad Behaviour?
**** Trigger Warning**** Pregnancy and loss
Soul Style Studio is back after their first Zoom hangout with listeners, and it did not disappoint. This week Sinéad, Nessa and Alvagh dig into the Let Them theory: is it genuinely useful, or just a soft way of excusing bad behaviour? Alvagh brings her take from the mindset side, Nessa gets into the September reset for wardrobes and the two coats actually worth your money, and Sinéad talks through why having no children doesn't make a life any less.

Life Before Mobile Phones: A Nostalgia Episode
Sinéad, Nessa and Alvagh talk about growing up before mobile phones. Waiting by the landline for someone to ring, tapping payphones for free calls, three TV channels, taping songs off the radio, meeting people at Clery's clock with no way to contact them if plans changed. They also cover old beauty habits like sunbeds, baby oil tanning and DIY hair dye gone wrong, plus school with 40 to 50 kids in a class and how different growing up was depending on which side of Dublin you were from. It ends with a debate on whether phones and fitness trackers are actually good for us, and a challenge to go six hours without a phone.

Your Perspective Is Lying to You
Recapping our first Soul Style workshop, and finally answering "what is Soul Style?" Alvagh teaches how to catch the stories you're telling yourself ("nobody has any money," "I'm so disorganised") and choose a different perspective. Nessa shows how the same jeans, jumper and blouse can build three different looks, plus the moment a woman finally wore a dress she'd owned for 10 years but thought she was "too old" for. Sinéad covers base and placement, and why beauty needs perspective too.
Plus the "is that true?" mindset trick, neck care advice Alva wishes she'd had decades ago, and the word for a hair bobbin Sinéad had never heard in her life. Next workshop: 8th November, self-care. Save the date.

How to Know a Friend Isn't a Friend AnymorePlus Irish Beauty Brands Worth Switching To & Our Beauty-Maxing Eye-Roll
This week we're all deep in event prep. Sunday's crept up on us and we're feeling it. We talk Irish beauty brands we can't stop raving about (RIP to every international brand that used to have our loyalty), then get into the real stuff: green flags and red flags in friendship, why some friendships just need to end, and the one physical sign, a literal knot in your stomach, that tells you before your head catches up. Plus, why making friends in your 40s and 50s is easier than you think, homework that'll make someone's day, and this week's eye roll: the "beauty maxing" trend that's gone way too far.
Honest, a bit chaotic, and worth the listen. Hit subscribe and settle in.

Success Is Not Having a Knot in Your Tummy
This week we're talking about ambition and how it changes as we get older. From chasing the next promotion, the house, the babies, to realising success might just be waking up without a knot in your tummy. We get into the pressure to keep up (with trends, with everyone else, with an anti-ageing world that never lets up), why worrying is just worshipping the problem, and how to redefine what "enough" actually looks like. Plus a bit of homework to be kinder to yourself this week.

The Sexiest Part of a Woman's Body and the Non-Negotiables We Won't Drop
We're back together after two of us ran off on our holidays. This week we're talking non negotiables, the things we'd never give up no matter what. Alvagh on keeping spirituality real and her nightly gratitude jar. Sinéad on the beauty basics that matter more than any pricey product. Nessa on wearing whatever brings her joy, even the trousers people stare at.

Healing Isn't Running Through a Field in a White Dress
This week it's all about social media, the good, the bad, and the completely ridiculous.
Alvagh takes aim at the "spirituality in a sentence" crowd and the men queuing up to tell women how to heal.
Nessa explains why the algorithm has quietly hauled fashion and body image back to the '90s, before-and-after photos and all. And Sinéad gets honest about overconsumption, the pressure to explain her own body, and the guilt of being part of an industry she doesn't always trust.

She Answered to 'Fat' Faster Than Her Own Name
This week we're talking perspective and why women are so much harder on themselves than they'd ever be on a friend. From childhood conditioning and the "Fat " nickname, to gym culture, aging, and the pressure that's shifted from our bodies to our faces, we get honest about where our self-criticism comes from and how to reframe it. Plus, Sinéad lets rip at a famous makeup brand owner over dupe culture.

Everything is dry after 40!
The stuff no one warns you about. Skin that suddenly rejects the makeup you've worn for years, dress sizes that mean nothing, and the constant pressure to look 20 again. This week we get honest about chasing "glass skin," why the number on your clothes is made up, and how to stop comparison stealing your joy. Plus salmon sperm under the eyes, three sizes in every wardrobe, and one 20-second habit worth trying for a week.
