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!

Okay, so you know that moment when you kinda want to believe in manifesting but also don’t want to be that person taping crystals to their debit card? SAME. Which is exactly why this convo with Denise Duffield-Thomas was so damn refreshing.

Denise is a money mindset coach who’s all about helping people (especially women!) feel good about receiving, spending, and growing their wealth—without shame, guilt, or vibing your way into bankruptcy. She’s got this no-BS vibe (my kinda gal) and makes the whole “abundance” thing feel accessible… and dare I say… fun?

In this episode, we go deep into the sneaky money blocks that might be holding you back—like thinking rich people are jerks or feeling guilty about charging for your services. And she also shares some real talk on why self-sabotage kicks in the moment things start to get good.

We also get into the wild idea that you’re actually allowed to like money. Yep. Not just tolerate it or hope to make enough to cover the mortgage—but to enjoy it, feel safe around it, and let it support the version of you that is totally thriving. (Mind. Blown.)

I also share a few of my own (messy) money stories and Denise coached me right there on the podcast. Like, actual breakthroughs. And if I can have them while podcasting in my gym shorts—you can totally have them too.

So if you’re ready to ditch the scarcity, make bank, and keep it real? This episode’s for you.

What’s Inside:

• Why Denise believes everyone has money trauma—and how to stop letting it call the shots
• How to rewrite the old stories (from your family, culture, or industry) that keep you under-earning
• Why manifesting isn’t about “thinking positive” 24/7—and what actually works
• How to set up your life to be wildly abundant, without burning out or selling your soul

Real Talk—Let’s Dream Big for a Sec: What does “rich” actually mean to you? Is it rocking the designer bag or being so stupidly wealthy you get to give more than you keep? Is it changing your life and the world around you? Because I’m telling you—whatever version of rich you’re dreaming about? That could totally be you.

Denise and I are proof that you can want money, feel good about it, and still be a grounded, generous badass. So tell me, if money weren’t the problem, what kind of impact would you make? Come DM me on Instagram and let’s get into it

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Denise Duffield-Thomas’s website
• Her book “Get Rich, Lucky Bitch”
• Money Bootcamp with Denise
• Chill and Prosper Podcast
• My book “Healthy As F*ck” (aka “Ditch the Diet”)

I saved the best for last—live Q&A from my Health as F*ck book club and all questions lead to this: How the HELL do I actually get skinny?

Meal prep doesn’t have to be a chore and the food isn't icky. I use Sundays—my rest day—to throw on a rom-com, chop some veggies, portion things out, and call it good. It’s low effort and keeps the rest of the week easy (4-day-old veggies are way better than crusty, cold pizza from the night before. Trust me).

But it's not all rigid meals; the 80/20 rule keeps me sane. Most days I’m eating what I prepped. The rest? I go with what feels good—coffee treats, dinners out, full-on indulgence. It all fits.

Water matters, but perfection doesn’t. Tap is fine (stop buying overpriced bottled water). Add lemon, fruit, or flavor powder if it helps. Bribe yourself however you can because you need a lot of it!

Movement adds up. Walks, stretches, a few squats while the kettle boils—none of it is wasted. The more you move, the better you feel. Even a little.

Future you is your best motivator. When you're dragging, picture her looking back. She’ll be glad you did something, even if it’s just five minutes (and hey, squeeze in a reward for you NOW too).

This is a big one but I’ll let you in on a secret: veggies aren’t punishment. Roast them, sauce them, or mix them into stuff you like. Pre-chopped is a win, not a weakness. Make it taste good or keep it simple.

Food doesn’t need a moral label. Baked goods aren't bad. Spinach doesn’t make you superior. Eat what serves you—sometimes that’s nutrients, sometimes you just need to eat.

Change sticks when it's small. One new habit a month, layered into something you already do. That’s how it becomes automatic—that’s how you reach the goals.

What’s Inside:

• The trick to eating your meal prep.
• What water you NEED to be drinking.
• Does food have morality?
• The basic steps to habit stacking.

Did I cover a question you have? Did I miss something? Have a personal anecdote on what’s working for you? I wanna hear about it. Let me know on Insta!

You ever get that nagging voice saying, This isn’t it? That “oh crap” moment where you realize you’ve been climbing the wrong mountain? That’s exactly what happened to my guest today, Henry Oliver—former policy wonk turned style blogger and unapologetic vibe curator.

Yep, Henry ditched the government life to dive headfirst into what actually lit him up: writing, personal style, and, let’s be real, loafers. This episode is a total permission slip to pivot hard, even if you’ve invested years (or decades!) going in one direction.

We get into why midlife reinvention doesn’t have to be a crisis—it can be a party. And Henry breaks down the subtle but powerful difference between asking, “What do I want to do? ” vs. “Who do I want to be? ”

If you’ve ever felt stuck or like your life is technically fine but secretly soul-sucking—this one's for you. You’ll laugh. You’ll think. You’ll probably Google “good tweed jackets.” Henry’s got that effect.

What’s Inside:

• How Henry made a major midlife career pivot (and what helped him finally take the leap)
• The identity crisis that can come with “success”
• Why style isn’t shallow—it’s a portal to authenticity
• A powerful reframe for asking, “What do I really want? ”

So, real talk—

Are you living a life that actually feels like you? Or are you just playing a role you fell into 10 years ago and forgot to question? If you’ve been craving a fresh start—or even just a fresh vibe—this episode might be the sign you needed. I want to hear your thoughts: if you could change one thing about your life right now, what would it be? DM me on Instagram and let’s talk plot twists.

Back with a little switch-up—enjoy this live recording from my book club diving into Part Two of my best-selling book Healthy as Fck.*

As always, I’m serving up real talk on practical habits, fitness strategies, and my unfiltered thoughts—no fluff, all fire.

This time, we zoom in on the habit loop—trigger → behavior → reward—and what it actually takes to break the bad ones and build new, better ones on purpose.

We get into the power of the keystone habit—the one move that sets off a domino effect in every area of your health.

7 Habits of Highly Healthy MFs:

• Fill half your plate with veggies
• Go the F*ck to sleep
• Back away from the booze (or the damn Pepsi)
• Chill the F*ck out and meditate
• Eat everything — just way less
• Move your body. Often.
• Prep your damn meals

I can hand you the blueprint — but the only one who can build with it is you. You're also the only one who knows what a truly meaningful reward looks like for your brain and life.

Would I change anything?
Nope. I wrote this book because I stand by every word.

But—if I rewrote it today, I’d go deeper into neurodivergent psychology and how it affects the habit loop. And I’d definitely ease up on the “clean only” rules like tossing all plastic or going 100% plant-based—that’s not the hill we need to die on.

Bottom line: ditch the distractions. Focus on the 7.
That’s how you get healthy—and stay that way—for real.

What’s Inside:

• What the hell is a habit loop?
• How to interrupt bad habits and create new, better ones.
• The 7 habits of highly healthy MFers.
• The impact of neurodivergent psychology on the habit loop.

You heard me on my 7-habit soapbox, and you even heard from some of my audience. What habits are you stellar with and which ones have you with a first-class ticket on the struggle bus? Let me know on Insta!

We should all be millionaires. I mean, why the hell not?

Rachel Rodgers is a self-proclaimed "keep it real, ornery biotch" and the bestselling author behind We Should All Be Millionaires and Future Millionaire. Her work flips the script on everything you’ve been taught about money, especially if you grew up thinking wealth was for them, not you.

"You can have reasons or you can have results." Rachel doesn’t just say it—she lives it. Her first book serves as a reality check to all the tired, limiting beliefs we carry. It's not about grinding harder. It's about taking bold risks and refusing to play small just to keep others comfortable.

She breaks down the difference between broke boo and rich boo energy. Spoiler: if you’re exhausted, resentful, and trying to do it all alone, you’re not in the zone to build real wealth. Ask for help. Expand. Expect more.

Need ideas to earn more? Train your brain to look for open doors, not dead ends. Think assessments, side hustles, and monetizing your natural skills. What does rich look like for you?

Her latest book, Future Millionaire, is a Gen Z money playbook for making wealth inevitable. A job isn’t the goal. Freedom is. Entrepreneurship, investments, and side gigs—they’re all part of your toolkit now.

And yes, she’s got 100 legit money-making ideas to prove it.

Don’t miss the full episode. It might just be the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed.

What’s Inside:

• The surprising truth: Working hard will not make you rich.
• How thinking you're broke might be your most expensive habit.
• Why Women and marginalized people need to think bigger, not smaller
• Build wealth and still save your sanity, soul, and your Starbucks.
• Why Gen Z might save us all.

You. Yeah, YOU! Don’t close the book on those money-making dreams. Did Rachel give you any ideas today for some unfound income? Let me know on Insta!
