Well hello, and welcome to the 100th episode!

It’s a milestone that apparently means I’m a real podcast now?

Seriously—this was a goal that once felt insurmountable, and yet… here we are, the view from the trapeze. Enjoy this celebration (and don’t forget to celebrate your milestones too!).

As I looked back, I wanted to hear from you—what have you loved most?

Fitness has always been a favorite around here (I mean, DUH), with fan-favorite episodes like “What to Do When You’re Fat” and “How to Get Jennifer Aniston’s Body.”

Listeners also shared love for our habit-building episodes, inching us closer to our goals with themes like sleep, digital clutter, and even cooking (I see you in your aprons, you superheroes!).

We didn’t shy away from the heavy stuff either—episodes like “Back Away from the Booze” hit home for many.

Looking back, it’s been a mix of meaningful conversations and honest, gritty moments—covering mental load, creativity, inspiration, and the challenges we all face.

We even got a little woo-woo with mindset shifts in “How to Coach Your Damn Self” and “How to Calm Your Mind.”

Thank you to everyone who’s listened, shared, or just stuck around through the ups and downs.

Don’t miss all the throwbacks, iconic moments (desk apple enters the chat), and more as we celebrate 100 episodes!

What’s Inside:

• A look back at fan-favorite episodes.
• Listeners speak up and share their insight!
• Reminders of awesome guests and heavy-hitter topics.
• Oonagh’s view from the trapeze.

When I hit record on episode 1, 100 seemed an infinite space away…and now here I am! I loved getting a chance to hear from listeners and look back at some of your favorite episodes. Did I miss any? What do you wanna see in the next 100? Let me know on Insta!

Okay, my friend, buckle up because today’s episode is all about what happens AFTER you decide you want to get healthy AF... But before you quietly disappear off the face of the Earth and land back in your old habits for the 327th time. Yes, it’s that dreaded middle ground—the hardest part!—when motivation tanks, life starts “life-ing,” and the wine is seriously CALLING your name.

If you’ve ever been crushing it and then suddenly just... stopped (and then felt like a garbage human about it), this episode is for you. I’m breaking down what’s really happening in those “eff it” moments—not just the surface-level stuff like “I was tired,” but the deeper sneaky saboteurs: perfectionism, shame, and those bullshit stories we tell ourselves like “I always screw this up” or “What’s the point?”

We’re getting honest about our comfort zone “stories,” the classic bullshit scripts we use to stay where we are, and the real, SCIENCEY reason why your peer group may be secretly sabotaging—or supercharging—your results. Spoiler: This is NOT about willpower. It’s about outwitting your own brain, and I’m serving you the roadmap in the most Oonagh way: brash, supportive, and a little bit sassy.

If you’re tired of being the world’s most enthusiastic starter (and quickest quitter), this episode just might be your bulletproof vest for the next time you hear that little voice in your head whining, “Oh, fuck it.”

What’s Inside:

• The surprising reason we self-sabotage right when things are going well
• How to recognize when you're about to hit The Fuckits—and what to do instead
• The science (and sass) behind why motivation isn’t enough
• One simple question to ask before you quit on yourself again
  
  

So if you’re tired of starting over—or maybe you’re mid-spiral and need someone to gently (but also loudly) yell, “GET BACK UP, DUDE!”—I got you. This is the reminder you didn’t know you needed. Let’s end the quit-panic loop and start showing up like the badass you are. DM me on Insta!

Metabolism “broken”? Cortisol through the roof? Syncing your workouts with your menstrual cycle like it’s a lunar ritual? Let’s unpack the madness.

Welcome to the 2025 Fitness Complex—where the marketing is louder than the science and your confusion is the business model.

Lauren Colenso-Semple, certified slayer of fear-based wellness B.S., is here to cut through the collagen powders and influencer jargon and serve up some actual facts.

Keep calm and remember the six C’s: Credentials, Consensus, Conflict of Interest, Common Sense, Confirmation Bias, and Communication Style.

Still clinging to creatine? It's not a magic potion, so stop prioritizing it over your other healthy routines.

Worried menopause is stealing your muscle? Blame aging, not your hormones. Resistance training is the only thing that fights back.

Cycle syncing? Honestly, it’s just a socially acceptable way to ghost your workout routine. And inconsistency is the real hormonal chaos.

Supplements and biohacks won’t save you. Showing up and doing the work will.

No one wants to hear they have to work harder… but sorry, that’s still the truth.

Whatever physical activity you actually like? Do that. And then do it again.

The myths, the shady sales pitches, the body-obsessed bait—tune it out.

And as Lauren wisely says… stay safe out there.

What’s Inside:

• Actually build muscle during menopause (before AND after).
• The real deal on cycle syncing.
• How to spot sciency bullshit.
• Keep calm and remember the 6 Cs.

Feeling personally victimized by the pseudo-health industry? It's time to seek personally individualized real health and fitness plans…NOT the one-size-fits-all magical fixes. Did we bust some myths you’ve fallen for? Let me know on Insta!
