Ladies and Gents, listen up. This week we are serving you Los Angeles realness, think palm trees, paparazzi flashes, and a Zoolander cameo you did not see coming.Ivana is spilling the tea with her longtime bestie Randall Slavin, actor-turned-photographer, writer, Angelino, and the man who’s literally shot everyone from Leo DiCaprio to Charlize Theron to President Bill Freaking Clinton. (Yes, that President. We gasped too.)We’re talking the difference between native Angelinos and those wide-eyed Hollywood imports, the drama of chasing your big dream (spoiler: sometimes it flops), and the glow-up of pivoting into your true lane. It’s nostalgia, heartbreak, glamour, and just a dash of LA delusion.Picture it: two old friends, cackling, reminiscing, maybe tearing up just a little, all while sipping an iced latte with extra almond milk. It’s giving funny, heartfelt, and very, VERY Hollywood.Darling, don’t walk — strut to that play button.Ivana & CatherineNotions, Season 2, Episode 4: Randall Slavin in Los Angeles Hosted on Acast.

Notions – Season 3, Episode 3: Lili Simmons This week on Notions, Ivana sits down in Los Angeles with her soul sister and Banshee co-star, Lili Simmons (Banshee, Ray Donovan, Power Book IV: Force). The two reminisce about their time filming Banshee—from audition nerves to intense sex scenes without today’s intimacy coordinators—and how that experience shaped them as young women in Hollywood. Lili opens up about navigating modeling, body image pressures, and growing into her California-cool style, while also sharing heartfelt advice for the next generation of women. The conversation spans friendship, therapy breakthroughs, dating culture, and the power of putting your “pussy on a pedestal.” Expect laughter, honesty, and the kind of soul-baring candor that makes Notions what it is.

She’s here to demystify sexual health, talk all things, and remind us why getting tested is the ultimate act of self-care.We dive into how Aisling found her calling (spoiler: a fabulous mentor and a passion for helping people) and go deep on everything from chem sex and urinary leaks to bush dyeing, piercings, bedazzling, and microbiomes. Yes, she has thoughts on steamy vaginas — and no, she doesn’t recommend them.We are power-dressed and ready. Catherine’s in Anine Bing Blazer and shorts with serious boss energy. Aisling channels chic medical glam in white Victoria Beckham x Mango and gold platforms. And Ivana? Missed the memo and arrived in backless tulle and feathers. Obviously, she nailed it, as always. We also chat Jonathan Anderson’s rise at Dior, dyslexia as a creative superpower, and the outfits our husbands hate/just don’t understand.Plus: the time Ivana played matchmaker to Leonardo DiCaprio. (You heard us.)And a reminder from Dr. Aisling: get checked. Book the appointment. You’re worth it.love, Ivana & CatherinePress play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Dear beautiful listeners and watchers,We are back. We survived the summer (barely), and while we may look like we’ve just stepped off a yacht from a white party in Saint-Tropez... the truth?

It’s catharsis. Its fashion. It’s us.Catherine’s deep in her co-ord era — matching, but make it hot.

Dear gorgeous listeners/viewers,It’s giving prairie dress vs silky PJs, IKEA meatballs, and almost getting kicked out of Chanel for not having an appointment!This week, we are wrapping up our very first season — and what better way to do it than with a brand-new studio, your juicy questions, and zero filter.😉 We moved into D2 Studios, did a little decorating, survived IKEA without breaking up, and finally made it home.You asked how we got started. Catherine wanted to record this podcast in her kitchen like some sort of college project (eh it was!). Ivana, on the other hand, said absolutely not and went full Hollywood production: lights, cameras, action and the rest is history.We talk about our therapy and our divorce and the mysterious glue that holds our friendship together. We both reveal something you don’t know about the other, advice for our younger selves, outfit battles with our husbands, and a moment of reverence for Guinevere Van Seenus DIY-ing her house like the icon she is. And oh Dita Von Teese is coming to Dublin. Feb 8, we are going, obviously dressed up.It’s fashion mistakes, big feelings, and fabulous hair (Ivana’s extensions deserve all the love).Press play, gorgeous people, it’s the grand finale of season 1.Love,Ivana & Catherine Hosted on Acast.

Dear beautiful people, it’s giving vanilla dreams, sculpting onesies, and a yellow canary bag that’s not a bird — it’s fashion.This week, we’re dressed like desserts and joined by the fabulous Marjia — perfume oracle, fashion queen, and the divine nose behind Perfumeria. Ivana once wandered into her store looking for Clive Christian “X” — only to be told it didn’t pass Marjia’s sniff test. Marjia was not enchanted by it, she simply doesn’t stock it. Iconic behaviour.We dive into Marjia’s scent story — from a perfume-deprived childhood (her father said, “If God wanted you to smell like a flower....”) to Marjia being called "the scent Diviner" by a magazine. We talk signature scents, memory-triggering perfumes, and why one good fragrance is worth a thousand photographs.Marjia shares the truth behind natural vs synthetic, endocrine drama, and why AI might have a nose for the future. She’s crafted perfumes for luxury brands and her 8-year-old, but don’t ask her to do throw a scent party. She’s a purist.Also: gym onesies that lift and sculpt, husbands who don’t get the look (so it’s perfect for St Tropez), and why you should only buy things that make you feel a little sexy and very alive.Ivana & CatherineSpritz and press play, Hosted on Acast.

Hello sweet angels,This week we’re throwing diet culture in the bin (next to self-loathing) with the divine Niamh Orbinski — author, podcaster, intuitive eating coach, yoga teacher, therapist-in-training, and all-round nourishment fairy. Ivana and Niamh get into it: food obsession, body shame, dieting since 14, eating a sleeve of Oreos while breastfeeding, and the truly radical act of saying, “My body works. I love it.”We talk intuitive eating, rejecting the fantasy of having to be your 21-year-old size, and embracing the delicious liberation of not caring what the scales says. Niamh reminds us: we can influence weight, but not control it! Darling, no. Peace beats thinness every time.Then — yes — Ozempic enters the chat. Ivana shares her experience: managing blood pressure and cholesterol, the silencing of the food noise, and the very real work of staying strong and sexy. It's honest, empowering, and zero shame.Also: sensual chocolate and Niamh's notions of fancy tomato's and perfect toilet paper, and the one thing her husband hates - red lipstick — only because he can't kiss her!This episode is about softness, sass, and coming home to yourself. Judgment off, acceptance on.Ivana & Niamh, Press play, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Vinyl Pants EpisodeDear Humans, it’s giving shiny, squeaky, London latex, and a top tip you didn’t know you needed: lube your trousers.This week, we’re talking vinyl pants, Banshee bingeing, and the sheer freedom of not giving a single damn what people think. Catherine’s not using a pillow, Ivana’s using three, and somehow — it all makes sense.We are revisiting the madness of Banshee, the fan reactions from years ago, and its glorious streaming comeback. Our algorithms send us on a positive/negative spiral, and Catherine gives laughter yoga a go — because why not?We discuss transmugent energy, the Michelangelo effect, the Hoffman institute, husbands who hate shopping, outfits they hate even more on us, and our deep gratitude for the guests we have coming soon.

With Catherine away this week, Ivana takes the wheel and the podcast shifts gears — it’s time for Notions’ very first guest interview. And what a guest to start with: former international footballer, RTÉ pundit, award-winning author, and qualified psychotherapist Richie Sadlier.In this wide-ranging and thoughtful chat, Richie opens up about his journey from professional sport to psychotherapy and the issues that matter most to him now. Ivana and Richie dive into big topics — from the gaps in sex education for teens, to the impact (and misinformation) of porn, to youth mental health and the contrasts between Irish and American approaches.It’s a smart, honest, and at times challenging conversation — but one full of compassion, insight, and a lot of notions worth having.____Watch in FULL TECHNICOLOR on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@the_NOTIONS_pod/ Hosted on Acast.
