Our fiery guest said it herself; she’s almost 80 years old and still a disruptor.

Meet Diane Gilman—fashion icon, teleretail queen, and all-around badass who refuses to fade into the background. She built an empire by rewriting the rules, and now she’s here to do the same for aging.

Because let’s be real—society has a plan for women after a certain age. And it’s not fabulous. If you don’t have your own vision, the world will grind you up and spit you out. Diane’s not having it.

From the beginning, Diane had an obvious destiny—talent, drive, and a few wild chances that took her to becoming the most successful tele-retailer on TV (at 60 no less). But her story isn’t just about the wins—it’s about the risks, the reinventions, and the moments that changed everything.

Diane faced breast cancer in her 70s. Her diagnosis went from hopeless to pow, pow, pow—knocking it out and coming back stronger. She shares a lightning-strike moment that didn’t just wake her up—it gave her a whole new purpose: helping women own their third act.

To Diane, age is JUST a number. And how you feel? A choice.

Some of you may say… “But Oonagh, I feel tired and achy!!!” Yeah, that happens. But you’re not powerless. Take care of yourself. Feed your body. Move it. Treat it like the powerhouse it is.

If you’re not learning, growing, and keeping up—you’re going backwards. You have to be fluid or you’ll turn into cement.

And yes, that means getting the new iPhone. Watching what the kids are watching. Staying curious. You are still wired to learn new things—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Craving more of Diane’s wisdom? Tune in to her podcast, Too Young to Be Old.

What’s Inside:

• Diane’s rise to TV retail queen.
• Beating cancer and finding purpose.
• The secret to a successful third act.
• Why keeping up and learning new things is the key to aging well.

How cool is Diane?! Even though I struggle with keeping up with new tech, fashion, and pop culture—but Diane made it clear: embracing the new, staying curious, and always learning is key to aging well. So, what’s the next new thing you’re going to try? Let me know on Insta!

Hustle harder! No, wait—prioritize self-care! But also... optimize! Somewhere between these dueling messages, we’re left exhausted, guilty, and wondering: Can the pendulum just *chill* in the middle?

Anthony McLean, author of *All Fired Up: Optimize Mental Wellness to Ignite Joy and Fuel Peak Performance*, has sprinted through the hustle, dabbled in every self-care trend, and finally landed on something that doesn’t make him want to throw his planner out the window.

Two things are just too much. First, being too offended—secondhand outrage is the new pandemic. Must we be this upset all the time? Second, too much advice—wear this, buy that, meditate, journal, cold plunge, optimize every second of your existence. Enough.

Go easy. Self-compassion isn’t lazy—it’s the difference between burning out and actually having a life.

Anthony walks us through an important ritual—finding routine at the end of the day. And guess what? Rewiring your brain in 30 seconds is possible!! The workday is over, but your brain didn’t get the memo. A simple breathing exercise can help shut things down, and 30 seconds is something you can't talk yourself out of.

Don’t feel like breathing? Fine. Try a sauna, a dance party, or rage-cleaning your kitchen. Whatever works. Everyone needs something different. Some need to *calm down*, others need to *wake up*. Figure out which one you are before signing up for a 5 AM ice bath.

Anthony opens up about Happy Place—the interruption of his rap career, a super exciting…flop.But here’s what he learned: failure isn’t personal, taking breaks matters (goodbye, social media comparison), and the real win is celebrating the thing itself—not just the result.

The fastest way to disaster? Abandoning yourself. Don’t do it.

As we close, we walk through an impactful exercise—What is your perfect day? You might be surprised by what's on your list.

Allow yourself to be fulfilled by what is in reach today, not tomorrow, not in a year, TODAY.

What’s Inside:

• Riding the pendulum of self-care and hustle culture.
• How to handle failure and learn from it.
• Surviving the Recipe for Disaster.
• A simple exercise to affirm you’re just where you’re supposed to be!

Wow! I loved Anthony’s Perfect Day example. We are constantly striving for more, moving the bar, and comparing. Are we ever allowed to just be happy? What’s a part of your perfect day? I’m willing to bet it’s in your reach! Let me know on Insta!

Wanna stop the nagging and have a clean, functional house?
(GASP. Apparently, it is possible.)

Meet Sam Kelly, the feminist mom coach helping moms, spouses, and kids get things done (correctly)—without the burnout.

Wait, what? There’s another way? You mean I, the mom, am not the only one who knows what needs to get done and how to do it?

Sam helps moms ditch the default expectations and smash the “Good Mom Lies.”

We’re talking about breaking the habit of over-helping and shifting to a real-deal family team dynamic. Her secret? Simplicity.

She introduced her children (and teaches others to do the same) to The Big 3—three non-negotiable tasks your kids tackle daily—plus one “Notice and Do.” These simple tasks help everyone pull their weight.

But don’t expect magic overnight. Sam’s course walks you through how to introduce, teach, and practice these systems so you can stop writing endless lists and trust that things are actually getting done.

Oh, and this isn’t just about your kids. This is about your whole family. Sam also encourages spouses to define their minimum standard of care and stay on the same page.

This is more than a clean house. You’re teaching executive functioning—a critical life skill—and breaking the burnout cycle for moms everywhere.

What’s Inside:

• Breaking the cycle of mom burnout.
• How to teach your kids to do chores without a chart!
• Defining the standard of care with your spouse.
• Teaching critical life skills and becoming a family team.

A clean house without the nagging, lists, and bribery? It’s not a fantasy. I am thrilled to break this burnout cycle alongside teaching my boys some critical life skills. How would Sam’s program transform your home? Let me know on Insta!
