Ozempic and Me

**I ran into a few tech difficulties and there is about a 90 second pause right in the middle of this episode but don’t worry the rest of the episode does continue** This episode wasn’t planned. It wasn’t scripted. And it definitely wasn’t easy. After months away from the mic, I’m finally back — and this is the first episode I’ve recorded since May. In this episode, I open up honestly about my hea...

As always in my episodes I’m very open and honest and today’s episode is no different- probably a bit too open 😆 In this episode we take a deep dive into the trolling and online hate I’ve been getting recently on media articles I’ve done. I speak about the stigma and judgement surrounding weight loss and glp1 meds and how I want to use my voice to help improve this. And as I am due to turn 39 soo...

This is a very different episode to what I am used to! I decided to do an “get to know Asho “ style episode but from my best friend Robyn’s perspective. Robyn did out a list of questions for me to answer and also for her to answer. I’m going to be honest, this was a bit of a hard one to record as I get very emotional, it’s a quite emotional episode especially talking about our grief we have been t...

We are back! It’s been a long 4 months since I recorded episode 8 so I have finally brought her back 😆 I talk all things skinny jab revolution, the documentary I appeared on back in March, why I feel like I needed to take a little social media break. I give an update on my health suitation, and what my future holds for my running and life in general!

Now that my health journey is finally coming to an end after a long 18 month battle I talk in detail about everything I’ve been through the last 18 months, how I was gaslit time and time again, and how in the end to get my diagnosis I had to ask my gp to do certain tests myself which ultimately led to my diagnosis and finding out what is wrong with me.

We’re back again with another episode , only been an month since I last recorded! Today, I talk about all things running, the Dublin Marathon, my fear of regaining weight and I am open honest and venerable about my current weighing habits. And just a little advice to those wanting to reach out to their doctor about starting their weight loss journey on weight loss medications. Hope you enjoy ☺️

Today’s episode is a raw emotional deep dive into the trauma of being overweight and how that trauma has carried on into now when I’ve lost the weight. What that trauma is, how I deal with it and showing people that a weightloss journey is not just about losing weight and that is ok to have these feelings. It’s normal. I hope this resonates with anyone going through this or similar.

Talking all things social media, the horrible hate I’ve been getting recently, how I deal with it and a massive thank you to all you beautiful people for your continued support

From having gallstones and having my gallbladder removed to 4 weeks later suffering with all these symptoms where I’ve been left with chronic pain for 9 months, weeks bed bound, loosing 30% of my body weight in 4 months, no appetite and not being able to poo, to now suffering with the possibility of malnutrition and no quality of life, this is what I have been going through with my health for the...

Wow. This was a tough one but needs to be talked about. I talk about what being morbidly obese did to me, how it affected me mentally and now 9 stone done what struggles I face now. I hope by being so open and honest and transparent in this episode that it can help validate feelings for anyone who may be feeling the same 🫶

A bit of a emotional one. My running journey, how I got to here, what the future holds and a bit about my brother in law Jaye who we lost on the 10th August 2021 and I am running the remembrance 5k race on the 12th November 2023 in memory of Jaye 💙
