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.
