Holy guacamole, as if beauty standards weren’t already cooked, along came Ozempic. 
It feels like out of nowhere this medication that is a miracle for those who need it for legitimate health reasons is now being used by those who don’t need it so they can shed body fat at a rapid pace & it’s terrifying, but has a lot of people (myself included) interested. 
What the F is ozempic? Who needs it? What are the side effects? What does it do? How much does it cost? 
In this episode I interview Johann Hari author of ‘The Magic Pill’ who’s researched Ozempic all over the world but also taken it himself. 
Also joining the chat from a Kiwi perspective my friend Katie and a bunch of amazing wāhine from our Better Me (Hopefully) community share their experiences.

What is Hangxiety?

Vic & Hamish from Sober Awkward

Our friends on will they go sober?

In this episode - without being annoying and preachy - I’ll share my story of why I’ve decided to give up booze (Sorry in advance I get teary) and I chat to guests:

From a grape mint vape cloud - The Vaping EP

Hey amazing human (or robot) I’m Sharyn Casey and these are the show notes to my podcast, HURRAH!

I don’t know about you but I feel like I spend A LOT of my time chasing energy, looking for some magical thing that’ll give me energy like a teenager, not crawl out of bed hoping caffeine will save me. 

So how do we get back our energy? 

In this episode I talk to the Author of the book ‘Energy’ Lisa O’Neill about how we can get, guard and give our energy better, you’ll also meet my amazing friend Bex about her experience with hypothyroidism

Hi I'm Sharyn Casey and I'm a horndog for Faeries

Gawd I’m excited for you to hear this episode, it feels like more and more women are horned up and ready to go thanks to fantasy books - Not like a racy fantasy, I’m talking mystical creatures, faeries, dragons, swords and all! 

Where did these books come from all of a sudden? Are they spicing up libidos and sex lives? Are women reading smut instead of watching corn? If so why? 

These questions are answered this week by my special guests. Two of my besties Ange and Ash who are presidents of my smutty book club. Somatic Sexologist Morgan Penn gives her professional opinion. 

Thanks heap for listening, I hope you laugh as much as I did doing these chats.

Is SMUT the new CORN?

Johan Hari

Hey there, I'm Sharyn Casey - mum, wife, and radio host. Welcome to "Better Me (Hopefully)," a podcast where I get real about trying to be the best version of myself while trying to hold it all down. 

Let’s face it, we’re bombarded with wellness tips, fitness trends, and self-improvement hacks every day. But how much of it is actually worth your time and money? After spending more cash than I'd like to admit on wellness fads, I'm here to share what’s worked for me and what’s total BS.

Join me as I chat about everything from hilarious personal mishaps (like nearly crapping my pants on the motorway) to deeper conversations about why we feel so drained and how we can actually boost our energy and happiness. We’ll cut through the noise and find out what really makes a difference.

Listen in for a mix of laughs, honest moments, and practical advice. If you're just trying to figure it all out like the rest of us, "Better Me (Hopefully)" is your new go-to for keeping it real while trying to live your best life.
