One of the bucket list guests I had for the season was Sir John Kirwin. 

Sir JK has done incredible things through sharing his mental health journey, he’s helped so many people including myself. 

In this episode, my goal was not to cry like the other 2 times but also to talk to Sir JK about anxiety, his journey with it, his advice, tips, tricks and it’s one of the most beneficial conversations I’ve ever had (I was also so nervous I sweated ALOT hahaha)

ImPosTer SyNdRoMe 

I had NEVER heard of the term ‘Over exercising’ until I was working out everyday, sometimes twice a day but kept putting on weight, I felt like shit, slept poorly and it made me crave so much sugar.

Doing this episode was really important to me because that frustration of not losing weight when you’re smashing your body at the gym is such a mind F and it’s so unhealthy. It messed with me so much mentally. 

My friend Han Romano who’s a fitness trainer is our expert this week and she has the best advice for anyone stuck in the over exercising rut or may not realise they are, plus Han answers ALL your submitted questions!

What is botox? We speak to Jacki Smith Founder of Caci Clinic about what it is, what it does, long term effects and approx costs 

How do we tell if the place we’re going to is unethical and taking money from people who are vulnerable 

What’s an alternative? Olga Newman from Face Up thinks we don’t even need botox or filler and we can do it naturally with Face sculpting, what is this witchcraft? We get all the details and I make my husband Bryce try it! 


The underbelly of Botox in New Zealand, Expert Mike Clague who launched Botox and Filler in NZ when working for Allergan and has worked with the biggest botox experts in the world, Mike  talks to us about how people are buying botox and filler online in places like Etsy about how it’s maiming people and risking their lives to look “hot”

 I’ve fallen off the bandwagon

Shocker of the century, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, ever since things have blown my mind how different parts of my personality now make sense, it’s not just me living this reality though, so many people are being diagnosed late in life with ADHD and other neurodiversities, so what do we do afterwards?


My friend Nathan was diagnosed last year with ADHD and PTSD after a traumatic event landed him in the hospital, He’s been on a journey making his brain his life and I was so grateful no only that he wanted to share his story on the podcast, but he also introduced us to this weeks expert Alex Campbell who’s an ADHD coach, therapist and lives with ADHD himself. 

I hope this episode answers questions you may be asking yourself and give you some tools to make this discovery for you or a loved one an easier choice.

TSEXReunion with Morgan Penn on LIBIDO

It’s me! Sharyn Casey! You friend and overuser of exclamation marks! 

I was sitting with a friend recently which reminded me of a conversation I’ve had so many times before with other people and myself - the conversation about whether or not to start medication for my mental health. 

I’ve been on Sertraline for anxiety and depression for about 4 years and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

When thinking on this topic my mate and mental health advocate Jazz Thornton was the perfect guest to discuss the process with, Jazz shares her decision to go back on medication last year, her and I’s history which we’ve never spoken in depth about before.

When talking about medication for our mental health, I wanted to pick the brain of Psychiatrist Robert Marchl on how the medication works, the stigma around them, are we being over prescribed and what’s the journey like adjusting to meds. 

This is a great episode for understanding, help with making the decision or just a couple of people that get how you feel

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.

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.
