Show Notes
This week on Blame My Sis... Ashley chats about her kitchen being completely hijacked by blue bottles and having to call in the exterminator when she realised there was something else lurking that definitely wasn't paying rent. Claudine gives us an update on married life and, for once, managed not to give in during a little tiff with her husband. Meanwhile, Emma headed to Tramore for a weekend of sunshine, fun, and perhaps one drink too many, ending the night seeing triple. We'll blame the gorgeous weather for that one. The Topic of the week taking a trip down memory lane to our CLUBBING days. Remember getting ready in a tiny bedroom packed with friends, straighteners, fake tan, and enough hairspray to damage the ozone layer? We're talking about the iconic outfits, the giant dream catcher earrings, the sky-high heels, and spending hours getting ready before a night out. Back when €20 in your pocket was enough for a night out.
We're reliving the nights out at Barcode, Club M , The Wright Venue, sharing stories of the antics we got up too . From the pre-drinks to the dance floors, the hangovers to the hilarious memories, it's a nostalgic look back at the chaos, craic, and unforgettable memories we had.
Join us for laughs as this is a reminder that those really were the days!

WE’RE BACK! 🎙️💕 SEASON 2 IS HERE!
It is the season finale of Blame My Sis... And we’re ending on the most emotional and honest conversation yet. This week, we’re talking about “Where We Thought We’d Be in Life” the relationships, careers, families and timelines we once imagined for ourselves… and how different life can sometimes look. Ashley opens up about her healing journey and coming to terms with where she thought she would be by now. Claudine shares the gratitude she has for her life, while being honest about how hard it can be watching the people you love struggle. And Emma opens up about convincing herself for years that she didn’t want children, only to realise how complicated those feelings really were and the grief that comes with wondering if motherhood might not happen. There were tears, a lot of honesty and conversations and it feels like the perfect episode to end this season on.
This episode of Blame My Sis is all about red flags, green flags and the ICKS and this time, it’s all coming from you. We asked listeners to send in their biggest relationship red flags, green flags and most irrational ICKS, and this week we’re reading through them all and giving our very honest opinions. We’ve got Instagram followings that look more like a nail bar, questionable communication skills, skinny jeans and plenty of other very specific icks that may or may not be completely fair. Claudine talks us through her marriage icks, Emma gets into the green flags she looks for in a relationship, and Ashley tells the story of the time she needed to get to a polling station and somehow ended up in Des Bishop’s car which then led to a date the following week. From the very valid to the absolutely ridiculous, we’re talking through them all.
This week on Blame My Sis, we’re looking back at the jobs that built us and nearly broke us. From shop floors to office life, we’re spilling it all. Ashley takes us back to her River Island days being hungover taking a nap in the stockroom and being caught on camera . Claudine being underage working in the local Chinese, but it was worth the free curry tray at the end of the night. Emma brings us from Tesco checkouts days to working in a zoo and we relive the worst shifts, the times we nearly walked out and the most outrageous things customers have ever said to us. Ashley even shares her all-time worst shift ever involving a changing room toilet disaster having to clean. it up, she will never forget this! Did these jobs shape how we treat people now? And would we ever go back and do any of them again? It’s funny, relatable and it’ll have you thinking twice about every job you’ve ever had.
This episode of Blame My Sis hits differently. Ashley, Claudine, and Emma get real about body image in a way we never have online before. From being bullied, to feeling uncomfortable in our own skin, to Emma not even wanting to be here as a teenager. We talk about growing up with toxic diet culture: Weight Watchers at 12, Special K “meal plans,” slimming pills, and the habits that shaped how we see ourselves to this day. Ashley opens up about insecurities and the pressure of social media, while Claudine reflects on how those early experiences rewired her mindset around food and body image.It’s honest, a bit uncomfortable, and probably something a lot of you will relate to. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and not liked what you saw… this one’s for you.
