The Laura Dowling Experience Very Irish People: Media, Motherhood, and Navigating Perimenopause with VIP Editor Bianca Luykx #104
In this episode, I chat with Bianca Luykx, the editor of VIP Magazine, about her incredible journey in the media industry. With nearly two decades of experience at one of Ireland’s leading magazines, Bianca shares her insights into navigating an ever-evolving industry, including memorable moments like interviewing Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake. She also opens up about her early TV career, sharing her experience of harassment in the workplace and the resilience it took to overcome it.
But it’s not all about career highlights. Bianca opens up about the emotional challenges of motherhood, the realities of perimenopause, and how she’s adapting as her teen children grow into independence. Her candid insights, infused with Irish humour, offer a refreshing take on balancing work, family, and personal growth.
We also explore the art of storytelling, staying authentic in the era of AI, and how emotional intelligence shapes her work. This is a conversation packed with inspiration, resilience, and plenty of laughs—don’t miss it!
