Show Notes
This week we’re talking about the pressure on Irish influencers right now and why it feels like it’s impossible for them to win.
Gain weight? You’re criticised. Lose weight? You’re “on Ozempic.” Train for a 5K? You’re obsessed. Do nothing? You’ve “let yourself go.”
The internet has opinions on everything, especially women’s bodies.
We also get into the TikTok Shop takeover. When did every scroll turn into an ad? If creators in Ireland aren’t getting proper monetisation tools like the Creator Fund, is it any surprise feeds are flooded with product links? We then realise that actually we just HATE ads and pay every subscription known to man to avoid them 🥲
And then we spiral into nostalgia land, pirated DVDs, the 3-for-a-tenner man, xtravision nights & sun beds, and growing up in peak 2000s Ireland.
It’s opinionated. It’s nostalgic. It’s honest

Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang — NEW AND OG 🖤
Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang NEW AND OG 🖤 This week Producer Kay is back with us virtually and, in true GMAM fashion, Zoom decided to betray us and only record Kay’s face 😭 so this one is only audio this week (oops) it’s giving self produced pod 💅💅💅✨✨✨ We kick things off with COVID, vaccinations and medications before getting into a really honest chat about PCOS, birth control and the reality of navigating women’s health when you feel like your body is doing whatever it wants. The conversation gets deeper as we talk about motherhood, pregnancy fears, relationships and what support actually looks like when you’re trying to work out whether having kids is something you want - or something you’re absolutely terrified of 💀 We also get into balancing work, studying and daily routines, content creation, festival plans, comparing podcasts (dangerous territory), and the general chaos of trying to keep a million plates spinning at once. And of course we’re looking ahead to Limerick, because apparently there is always another plan, another trip and another reason for us to make questionable decisions 😭 Whether you’re listening on your commute, trying to sort your own life out, or just here for another Producer Kay appearance, we’re so glad you’re here 🖤 📧 Business enquiries & listener stories: [email protected] SOMEONE SPONSOR US 🔫🔫🔫 🖤 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok @givemeaminutepod ⭐ If you’re loving the podcast, don’t forget to follow the show and leave us a rating on Spotify – it genuinely helps us more than you know. We love you all. Thanks for being part of the GMAM gang. Let us know what you think in the comments and we will see you next week! 🖤🎙️
