The Dose with Paddy and Belinda

From Frozen Grapes to Feck It: Lorna’s (lorzylovey) honest take on life after 40, self-worth, and laughing your way back to health.


Listen Later

Lorna Cronin aka lorzylovey - joins Paddy and Belinda for a laugh-out-loud, heart-on-sleeve conversation about finding humour and self-worth on the road back to health.
From Cork chaos to comedy sketches, from grief to growth, she shares how laughter helped her rebuild confidence when life felt heavy.
This episode is equal parts honesty, craic, and courage, proof that healing doesn’t have to be tidy to be powerful.


Throughout the banter we chat about:

  • The viral moment that turned a Slimming Club story into a social-media career

  • The quiet shame that lingers after years of dieting

  • What “backwards body dysmorphia” really felt like

  • Finding balance between vulnerability and laughter online

  • How turning forty changed everything

  • The power of saying feck it and finally doing life on your own terms
