Life Lessons with Siobhan O'Hagan

In this solo episode of Life Lessons, I try to define “healthy” and how that might look different for different people. I talk about finding a balance in all areas of your life including physical, mental, and even the health of your social life.

Once again, this episode is sponsored by Whoop. I’m sure you know by now that Whoop is a wearable fitness tracker that specializes in breaking down your recovery, sleep, and workouts, while also helping you to manage your overall health and wellbeing.

Whoop has really helped me find a healthy balance of physical and mental health. The graphs of recovery and strain is an excellent indicator of overtraining and helps me make decisions on training intensity - which is very important in pregnancy.

Dr. Michelle Hone has a PhD in Nutrition and is the founder of The Fit Clinic, which is a team of registered nutritionists specialising in a range of different areas.

Michelle has been sharing some really helpful information on her Instagram, but also through her Fertility Focus program, which helps couples struggling with fertility.

Perhaps you have been on a fertility journey for some time, or are considering trying to conceive in the near future and want to prepare yourself with as much knowledge as possible. Maybe you have no interest in trying for a baby any time soon, but want to understand the importance of hormones on female health. I hope everyone will get something out of this episode.

Sean has built over 3 million followers from his famous simple but tasty recipes, no BS fat loss videos, and authentic content.

He has recipe Books, his online fitness program “The Sean Casey Academy” but also The Social Circle, which is all about how to grow your social media.

His methods work. I did his course when he first launched it last year and the one video I made using his specific blueprint, went viral.

This is somebody who didn’t get famous for doing anything dramatic, but for showing up consistently, understanding the algorithms and genuinely wanting to help people.

In today’s episode - I have Sinead Crowe who set up Intuitive Eating Ireland on instagram. It is a great resource for anybody who is looking to move away from dieting and learn to eat more intuitively. I thought this would be an interesting conversation to have on the podcast, because of course - I do believe there is a time and place for dieting. We actually recorded this late last year, but I just wanted to space out the episodes where we talk about nutrition so that the podcast isn’t too focused on that.

We talk about eating disorders and disordered eating. If you feel like you would like more information on these, please check out bodywhys.ie, and the instagram accounts linked below.

I hope you find this episode helpful and interesting!

Today I am joined by Diren Kartal, who is a close friend of mine and also an online fitness coach. But today we are not talking about fitness. Diren and his family are Kurdish/Turkish and he is just back from a second trip to Turkey to help with with aftermath of the earthquake that affected millions of people in Turkey and Syria.

Diren is passionate about helping people in all areas of life. We also talk about how our values have changed since we first met in Bali all those years ago. We tackle some controversial topics later on in the episode, but I think it is interesting to hear differing opinions. Myself and Diren would have conflict of opinions in a respectful way in real life and I think you will hear that throughout this episode.

She has so many practical tips and experiences around travelling, but also because she lives a life of freedom, that so many people might feel is out of their reach. We talk about why we think somebody should travel, how to make money from travel blogging, what Bali is like now, how to do things on a budget and we also talk about Tech, as Steph now has courses to get women setting up their own freelance tech businesses.

In this episode, I speak to Grace Mannion (www.instagram.com/gracemannion_) who is a Female Body Composition & Prep Coach, as well as an IFBB Bikini Athlete.

I have been known to come out against bikini/body building competitions, but this is based purely on my experience.

I wanted to bring on a guest that could challenge my opinions, but also give a rational discussion on a topic that is usually heated.
