    A minute for - Maggie Maguire

    Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang 💜 This week we’re joined by the incredible Maggie -Producer Kay’s mam, for what is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and emotional conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Maggie opens up about her childhood growing up in an incredibly difficult home environment, navigating family addiction, poverty, neglect and trauma from a very young age. She shares what it was like caring for her younger siblings, the involvement of social services throughout her childhood, entering foster care, and the lasting impact those experiences had on her life. We talk about becoming a mother at just 16 years old, her struggles with mental health over the years, and the challenges she’s faced while trying to build a different life for herself and her family. Maggie also speaks honestly about her complicated relationship with her own mother and how love, forgiveness and family can exist alongside pain and difficult memories. This is a conversation about survival, resilience, motherhood and finding strength in the most unimaginable circumstances. It’s a deeply moving episode, but as always, there are laughs, honesty and moments of warmth throughout. We laughed, we cried, and by the end of it we were completely in awe of Maggie. This is one of the most important conversations we’ve had on Give Me A Minute, and we’re so grateful she trusted us with her story. ✨ Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @givemeaminutepod 💌 Email: givemeaminutpod@gmail.com New episodes every Tuesday.

    A minute for - Paige’s Puss Flora

    Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang! 💋 This week we’re joined once again by everyone’s favourite Ballyfermot icon, Paige Behan, for what might be our most educational and chaotic episode yet. After last week’s conversation about Paige’s journey, this episode gets into all the questions people are usually too afraid to ask. Paige opens up about her gender-affirming surgery, recovery, what life is like afterwards, and answers the questions she’s been asked a million times over the years. We discuss the extensive assessment process required to access gender-affirming surgery, including the multiple psychiatric assessments and medical approvals that trans people are often required to undergo before receiving treatment. We also have a really honest conversation about fertility, with Paige speaking about finding out as a teenager that she was infertile, how that affected her growing up, and the wider conversations around fertility and family planning within the trans community. As always, it’s not all serious - there’s plenty of laughs, oversharing, questionable questions, and absolutely no topic left untouched 💅 (understatement of the year) ✨ Follow us on Instagram & TikTok: @givemeaminutepod 💌 Email: givemeaminutpod@gmail.com New episodes every Tuesday.

    A minute for - Paige Behan

    GIRLS WE LOSE VIDEO TEMPORARILY DUE TO A BUG WHEN DOWNLOADING 😭😭 5-10 mins of a blank screen audio stays and then we come back SO SORRY. (Robyn’s dogs are her WiFi box) Welcome back girliesss 💅 This week we’re joined by our pal Paige Behan and it’s one of the most honest, emotional and important conversations we’ve had on the podcast so far. Paige opens up about growing up in Ballyfermot, being diagnosed as intersex, and her journey transitioning from male to female in Ireland. We talk about identity, friendship, dating while trans, and the reality of navigating relationships while dealing with fetishisation and misunderstanding from men. We also get into the realities of trans healthcare in Ireland, including Paige’s experience travelling to Germany for surgery, undergoing two separate SRS procedures, and the emotional and physical impact that came with it all. Paige shares the story of being refused medical care in St James’s Hospital after surgery and how she ultimately took a court case and won - after being denied treatment based on gender discrimination. Alongside all of that, we also chat about Paige’s MANY lives and careers 😭 from years working in The George to going back into medicine and her dreams of medical school (she’s gonna change the world of trans healthcare in Ireland) 💅💅 As always, even with the heavier conversations, there’s still loads of laughs, chaos and completely unhinged moments throughout. We love you divas, thank you always for the love 💘 Xoxo The GMAM gang 💋

    A minute for - Dead dogs, Mattresses & Smear tests

    Welcome back girliesss 💅 This week gets a bit more emotional than usual as Jess opens up about the heartbreaking loss of her dog and the impact it’s had on her mentally. We chat honestly about grief, anxiety, OCD, and the reality of trying to keep functioning when your brain is absolutely not cooperating 😭 We also get into advocating for yourself medically, smear tests, sexuality, mental health struggles, and the frustration of trying to actually get help when the healthcare system feels impossible to navigate. Robyn talks about her laparoscopy journey and the anxiety around surgery, while Jess shares her decision to finally seek psychiatric help. Obviously in true GMAM fashion… there’s also complete chaos throughout. We spiral into Mick’s mattress disaster, the truth behind the bob haircut, bikini panic before holidays, our new fitness challenge, and why Adam might secretly be the funniest person alive. It’s emotional, funny, slightly unhinged, and very very honest / basically like a FaceTime call with your friends when everyone’s oversharing. We love you divas, thank you always for the love 💘 Xoxo The GMAM gang 💋

    A minute for - PR diva Liam

    Welcome back girliesss 💅 This week we’re joined by Liam Leonov Senior PR Account Executive, festival survivor, professional yapper, and unfortunately someone who enables Robyn’s delusions daily ✨ We get into EVERYTHING - from working in PR, creator trips, brand chaos and viral campaigns, to the reality of trying to survive the influencer world without completely losing your mind. There’s chats about Electric Picnic, Primavera, travelling to Japan & Korea, Berlin karaoke nights, and the absolute madness of real-time content during festivals. We also spiral into conversations about Lizzo, Stormzy, AI ethics, bot followers, TikTok Shop, and why everyone suddenly thinks they’re a PR expert online 😭 We also get a bit deeper talking about health anxiety, relationships, mental health, work stress, and the weird pressure of always being “on” when you work online or in media. Naturally there’s also completely rogue tangents - including husband Adam’s expensive water taste, Irish tap water debates, Klarna addictions, work email scams, air fryers, world geography and festival plans that probably shouldn’t be allowed. It’s chaotic, funny, slightly existential, and VERY chronically online. We love you divas, thank you always for the love 💘 Xoxo The GMAM gang 💋

    A minute for - Femfresh on balls, Hygiene & Q&As

    Welcome back girliesss 💅 This week we’re talking ALL things hygiene, routines, and the habits we genuinely thought were normal… until we said them out loud and realised maybe not everyone is living like this 😭 We’re comparing our day-to-day routines (and judging each other heavily) -from weekly bed sheet changes, nightly showers and fresh pyjamas, to Robyn’s very specific sock rules that absolutely cannot be questioned. We also get into the chaos of growing up with brothers who think Femme Fresh is apparently for the whole household??? We answer your questions too 👀 from dealing with constant bad news and stress, to how we attempt to keep our lives together - plus chats about festival season, upcoming guests, and why Jess physically cannot relax unless her house is spotless. Caitlin joins us on mic as well with some VERY rogue habits from her house (including a dad who treats socks like they’re disposable… like sorry?? 😭) We also have our diva Tia on the mic for the yaps 🤫 It’s chaotic, honest, slightly concerning, and very real - all about routines, anxiety cleaning, and the little habits that make perfect sense in your own head. If you’ve ever: ✨ had very strong opinions on your routine ✨ lived in a slightly chaotic household ✨ or realised your habits might be… questionable …this one’s for you. We love you divas, thank you always for the love 💘 Xoxo The GMAM gang 💋

    Welcome back girliesss 💅 This week we’re joined by the one and only Karen Grehan - business owner, chaotic queen and absolute icon ✨ We get into everything from her childhood and family life to motherhood, career pivots, and the reality of trying to juggle it all (with a few hilarious detours along the way). Karen opens up about perimenopause, life changes, and using humour to get through it. As well as her journey from working in PayPal to building her own business in the beauty industry. Owner of Lash Dolls Academy of Beauty, Secret Warehouse, the Gas Man and we can’t even remember what else she’s running ahaha. We chat about her entrepreneurial journey, the ups and downs of running salons, and her vision for creating a content hub and retail space. There’s also plenty of stories including some very chaotic wedding day moments and having an army of children. It’s funny, honest, and full of real-life lessons - with a mix of business, motherhood, and pure madness throughout. If you’ve ever: ✨ tried to balance a million things at once ✨ thought about starting something of your own ✨ or just love a strong, slightly chaotic woman …this one’s for you.
