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:

It’s my birthday, so yeah, I’m making a big deal out of it.

And when it’s your special day, you should too!

Here’s the bare minimum vibe: no work, just the people you love, a clean house, fresh clothes, and a fridge full of your favorite food. Maybe a massage to kick things off, and plan the party or whatever makes you happiest (yes, plan it yourself—that's what big girls do!)

It's time to own that trip around the sun and give yourself the celebration you deserve.

Ever heard the phrase “no one likes a tall poppy” (or the zillion other worldwide idioms for stifling your sparkle)? FORGET IT—we need more tall poppies.

Celebrate yourself. Be proud to take up space and make it special.

You deserve to feel cared for; do the work to figure out what that means (I mean, do you even know what makes you happy?) and make it happen.

How you spend your days is how you spend your life, so make this one yours completely.

What’s Inside:

• Happy Birthday Oonagh!
• How to take your birthday into your own hands!
• Prioritize celebrating yourself and encourage others to celebrate you if you want it.

While the word fuss is relative, I think it’s time to make one for your special day. On the air date of this episode, it’s my actual birthday, and I’ve shared with you the must-haves at the bare minimum for celebrating my birthday. What are yours? Let me know on Insta!

Dr. Andrea Love of Immunologic is back for Part 2. This week we’re talking politics.

The political spectrum isn’t as divided as it looks—turns out both sides can latch onto the same sketchy ideas, just for wildly different reasons. Dr. Love takes us back to the first anti-vax wave in the 1970s:
Liberals were all about “no toxins, no chemicals, keep it natural!"

Conservatives, on the other hand, didn’t trust the government and didn’t want to be told what to do.

Fast forward, and here we are with the booming (and unregulated) supplement industry—a 50+ year effort to make people doubt the government, science, and even basic safety standards.

You may also recognize another political mantra... MAHA, RFK Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” platform, exploiting the country’s health challenges to fuel outrage at Big Food, Big Pharma, and, honestly, probably Big Spoon at this point.

Lastly, you’ve got questions... We’ve got answers. Or maybe more questions? Dr. Love rapid-fire on today’s hottest topics:

• Probiotics? Mostly hype, barely proven for much.
• Food sensitivity tests? Food sensitivity is not a medical condition—case closed.
• Ultra-processed food? The term means nothing—processing isn’t inherently bad.
• Seed oils? They’re fine. Seriously. Good fats, even.
• Masks? Use them when it makes sense for you and your loved ones.
• Carnivore diets? Overhyped. For real health improvements, talk to a dietitian.
• Metabolic reset? No magic switch here—just consistent, unsexy healthy habits.

Family gatherings, social media, and uncomfy conversations—how do we fight misinformation? Stop resharing garbage—screenshot it if you need receipts. Share credible sources, and speak up when you see harmful nonsense (safely, of course).

We’ve all got a part to play. Follow along with Dr. Love and the other science resources she recommends in today’s episode.

What’s Inside:

• Let’s get political, political (does either side get it right?)
• MAHA—does one of those A’s stand for angry? Because it should.
• Rapid fire hot button topics…what’s the truth?
• Compatting misinformation online and in person.

Dr. Angela Love is impressive, dude!! And I really wanted to leave this conversation feeling confident in who I trust and where to seek information. Turns out it is a hell of a lot more nuanced than that. What surprised you the most to find out when it came to these hot button health issues? Let me know on Insta!

Clickbait headlines, shady supplements, and sketchy policies—oh my!
Enter Dr. Andrea Love, an immunologist and all-around impressive human.

Frustrated by medical misconceptions, Andrea founded Immunologic with a mission to replace fear with curiosity and equip people with critical thinking skills.

Medical organizations and safety or science agencies each have distinct roles, but their flexibility is often shaped by government policies. To navigate their guidance, rely on 2-3 solid, reputable (and relevant) resources—trusting just one source is like building a table with only one leg: it won’t hold up.

Research doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a marathon, not a TikTok trend. And as demographics represented become more overall present, it takes time for that to reflect.

With the wave of attention to menopause in the media, women are the primary target of the wild west of unregulated supplements. Dr. Love warns about “Hormone hacks”. These claims are red flags built for sales, not science.

Providers are in the trenches; how can they help patients survive this predatory landscape?
By walking people through data (not fear) and translating science into—as Dr. Love bluntly puts it—something a 4th grader can understand.

Some experts overuse jargon or discredit others. Don’t get caught up in the Huberman Hype and be critical of red flags: conflicts of interest, excessive jargon, and acting like the authority on everything.

Remember: Real experts know their limits—and yours.

I had to cut this one short so you can soak up this wealth of information. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this interview next week.

What’s Inside:

• Medical misconceptions in the media.
• Who to trust in the sea of medical orgs, providers, safety orgs, and science communicators?
• Red Flags in the media and supplement industry
• Getting critical and understanding science and research.

It can feel like everywhere you look there are big, bold medical claims! How can YOU solve this huge problem you didn't even know you had TODAY!? Are you guilty of trusting anyone with a PhD using big fancy words? How has this episode informed you on moving forward with science literacy? Let me know on Insta!

Are you diving into inner work and big goals for the new year? Or are you, like my guest, perfectly fine just “being the fucking worst”?

Here’s the truth: New year, same you. Author, copywriting expert, and unapologetically lazy human Laura Belgray is here to show us how embracing our flaws can be inspiring.

Being “the worst” doesn’t mean being an awful criminal—it’s more like being flaky, selfish, or unreliable. And Laura says that’s okay. Stop apologizing for it.

Her first book, Tough Titties, is a coming-of-age romp her husband calls Loser Sex in the City. It’s packed with raw, funny stories—like giving up the crazy of dieting (without becoming a “love-my-body-no-matter-what” person), her “Blowjobs to Undeserving Men” phase, and even joining a culty self-help group.

Laura’s proof it’s never too late—she hit her first million at 50. She’s no visionary or business guru, just someone who embraced being good enough.

As a child-free adult, she also talks about living outside the world’s obsession with motherhood—no kids, no pets, no plants. Just you.

For Laura, being “the worst” turned out to be the best. So lean into yourself, let people be disappointed, and remember: life’s standards are made up—live yours your way.

What’s Inside:

• Embrace being the worst.
• You don't have to be a business guru to make a million dollars.
• Laura Belgray’s book, Tough Titties
• Shutting down the world’s obsession with motherhood.
• Be disappointing…who cares!

The year may have changed, but you’re still the same you. If you’re kinda lazy, kinda selfish, and that's working for you... Girl, live your life. So are you putting down the goal list and embracing being the fucking worst? Let me know on Insta!

With 2024 coming to an end... let's look back at one of the hottest, most polarizing health wellness stories of the year.

Ozempic and similar medications are reshaping the world, akin to the invention of the smartphone. Initially, I wasn’t invested in this “magic” weight-loss wave—until I read Magic Pill by Johann Hari. I had to bring Johann on the show!

Johann, an Ozempic success story, reversed his obesity within a year. What he’s uncovered about the science and real-world effects of this drug is nothing short of shocking.

Let’s address something crucial: Body Positivity. While everyone should love themselves, “health at any size” isn’t scientifically supported. Obesity is harmful—even deadly.

Enter Ozempic, which delivers two transformative benefits:

1. Dramatically reducing and reversing obesity.
2. MASSIVELY improving obesity-related health conditions.

The ripple effects of these changes touch everything—from public health to unexpected industries like knee replacements, jet fuel, and even jewelry.

So, how does it work? It’s a shot that introduces GLP-1, a hormone signaling fullness, making it easier to stop overeating. Some studies suggest it even curbs addictive behaviors, reducing reliance on drugs, alcohol, and more.

The idea of a future where obesity and addiction are drastically reduced is tantalizing—but there are risks. Johann shares insights into issues like malnutrition from dosing errors and the psychological challenges of losing food as a coping mechanism.

This is just the beginning. Go back and check out episode 56, where we dove deeper into the risks, ideal candidates, and strategies to tackle obesity at its root.

What’s Inside:

• What is ozempic and how does it work?
• Is ozempic (and similar medications) going to change the world?
• The impact of reversing obesity on public health and the economy.
• The astonishing benefits and disturbing risks of Ozempic.

Ozempic and other GLP-1s went from something I was reading about in the news to a drug several people I know personally are using and finding success in. This magic medicine has taken the world by storm and will have a dramatic impact on the years to come. What surprised you most about this new scientific breakthrough? Let me know on Insta!
