After a weekend of fresh air and road trips, I’m back with a look at how we spend our time—and who we actually spend it with. This episode moves from the simple joy of a Sunday morning ritual to a much more honest chat about the "edit" we all eventually have to make in our adult friendships.

In this episode, we’re catching up on:

I’m taking you along on my Sunday morning at Mountain View Market in Kilkenny. It was a gorgeous spot for a "soul reset," even if it’s just for the fresh air and a chance to use my favorite Stanley flask. I’m also sharing my latest kitchen obsession—the gyoza "fakeaway" that has saved my life this week (and yes, I’ve finally settled the debate on which ones are actually the best).

Then, we’re chatting about what’s on the telly. I’ve been finally getting through the new series of Euphoria—which feels so much more grown-up and intense this year—and I’ve been completely gripped by the moral dilemma in Should I Marry a Murderer?. It’s been a heavy week for drama, but I’ve got some thoughts on why we’re all so obsessed with these stories.

The real heart of the show, though, comes from a bit of a "wake-up call" I had at my cousin’s birthday dinner. A relative made a comment about how lovely it was to be together for something that wasn't a funeral, and it really stuck with me. It got me thinking about how we treat our friendships as we get older—why we need to stop waiting for "big events" to see our favorite people and why it’s actually okay if your inner circle starts to get a little smaller.

Plus, I have a very exciting announcement: Spill the Tea is officially coming back! I’ve missed the gossip and the listener stories so much, and I’ve got all the details on how you can get involved again.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re struggling to make time for the people who truly matter, or if you’ve noticed your own circle shifting lately, I hope this episode feels like a bit of a friendly nudge to reach out to your important people today.
