The word 'skort' did not know what hit it this week as it became the most used word in Ireland, thanks to the Dublin and Kilkenny camogie teams wearing shorts as protest at the Leinster Camogie Final last weekend. It felt only right to talk to Aisling Maher, one of those leading the charge in relation to the LUDICROUS and ANTEQUATED rule which dictates that wo...

As someone outside the corporate world, I always feel like I'm not smart enough or experienced enough or li...

That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
