Goals, Grit, and Some Woo Woo Sh*t
"BREAKING NEWS: Your dream life (and your dream bod) isn’t just going to happen because you made a vision board. Join Oonagh Duncan (fitness expert and bestselling author of Healthy As F*ck/Ditch The Diet) to examine the habits of kicking ass every day - so you can create a life of no regrets. Whether you want to lose weight, get rich, or save the whales while writing bestselling mystery novels- get ready to be inspired. This isn’t about incantations and putting the right crystals in your bra. This is about having the courage to take responsibility for your life, the grit to do the actual work and—most importantly—constantly training your brain to be your b*tch. Here’s what you can expect: Sometimes you’ll get the most tender loving b*tch slap in your ear about why you need to exercise - even when you don’t f*cking feel like it. Sometimes you’ll get a sleep expert teach you the exact steps on how to fall back asleep at 3am so you don’t feel like a zombie all day. Sometimes you’ll hear from someone who ran the marathon, kicked the addiction or manifested their dream threesome on the beach and you’ll think “If they can do it, so can I” And when you start thinking thoughts like that… you will be inspired to stop drifting and being a victim of your circumstances - and start actively creating the life you want. It takes Goals. It takes Grit. And it takes some Woo-Woo Sh*t."

Get Your Head Out Of Your Ass: The Fat Loss Mindset Bitchslap You Need
You know those “tell-all” episodes from every trashy-but-addicting reality show? This is like that—but with way less drama (I mean WAY less) and about double the health tips and advice.
Join me as a fly on the wall for this pre-recorded book club where I chat about my bestselling book Healthy as Fck* (aka Ditch the Diet in the U.S.) and answer reader questions.
[You can catch all the visuals on my YouTube channel—but please don’t judge. It’s still rocking that circa-2015 vibe.]
This book came out in 2019, and let’s just say…2025 me has some updates. I’d ditch gender exclusivity (men wanna get healthy too, shocker!), call out the media’s influence way more, and—hot topic alert—I’d definitely mention Ozempic.
Readers brought the heat with their questions—like how to deal with the Girl Scout Cookie Dilemma, late-night binge eating, and the all-too-relatable Menstrual Fck-Its.
Struggling with inertia? Clinical fatigue? Negative self-talk? No motivation to meal prep? (Etcetera, etcetera.) You’ll hear me say this a lot:
Make it smaller. Make it something. Push yourself in the right direction.
At the heart of all this magic (cough, science) is the Effort-to-Results Ratio.
Got a long way to go to your dream bod?
Got 10 pounds left?
Just wanna give the bare minimum and still feel good?
All of that counts. The key is making peace with the body you have and the effort you’re willing to give.
It all boils down to simple positivity, small rewards, and making your goals more enjoyable. Music? Podcasts? Girly movies? Trash TV? A good book? Candle-lit bath?
Whatever feels right is right—for you.
That’s the inner work that leads to the outer work.
What’s Inside:
- The real deal on cravings, cookies, and late-night eating.
- Why “effort-to-results” is the ratio to remember.
- Making peace with your body and your motivation level.
- What I’d change in the book today (hello, Ozempic + media influence).
When I wrote this book, I meant every word—and I still do. But with time comes even more clarity, new conversations, and a few hot topics I had to touch on. Got a question I didn’t cover? Let me know on Insta!
