Send us a textOkay, my friend, buckle up because today's episode is all about what happens AFTER you decide you want to get healthy AF... But before you quietly disappear off the face of the Earth and land back in your old habits for the 327th time. Yes, it's that dreaded middle ground—the hardest part!—when motivation tanks, life starts “life-ing,” and the wine is seriously CALLING your name.If you've ever been crushing it and then suddenly just... stopped (and then felt like a garbage human about it), this episode is for you. I'm breaking down what's really happening in those “eff it” moments—not just the surface-level stuff like “I was tired,” but the deeper sneaky saboteurs: perfectionism, shame, and those bullshit stories we tell ourselves like “I always screw this up” or “What's the point?”We're getting honest about our comfort zone “stories,” the classic bullshit scripts we use to stay where we are, and the real, SCIENCEY reason why your peer group may be secretly sabotaging—or supercharging—your results. Spoiler: This is NOT about willpower. It's about outwitting your own brain, and I'm serving you the roadmap in the most Oonagh way: brash, supportive, and a little bit sassy.If you're tired of being the world's most enthusiastic starter (and quickest quitter), this episode just might be your bulletproof vest for the next time you hear that little voice in your head whining, “Oh, fuck it.”What's Inside:The surprising reason we self-sabotage right when things are going wellHow to recognize when you're about to hit The Fuckits—and what to do insteadThe science (and sass) behind why motivation isn't enoughOne simple question to ask before you quit on yourself againSo if you're tired of starting over—or maybe you're mid-spiral and need someone to gently (but also loudly) yell, “GET BACK UP, DUDE!”—I got you. This is the reminder you didn't know you needed. Let's end the quit-panic loop and start showing up like the badass you are.

Episode #67 with Nigel Morris-Cotterill, Oonagh van den Berg and Malcolm NanceIn this episode of Regulatory Ramblings, the panel tackles the Trump administration's controversial move to suspend enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)—a key anti-money laundering (AML) initiative passed under the Biden administration. The decision, announced by the U.S. Treasury Department in early March, stated that it would halt all penalties and fines associated with beneficial ownership information reporting under current regulatory deadlines. Crucially, it also confirmed that no penalties would apply even after forthcoming rule changes take effect—effectively dismantling the mechanism meant to expose the real owners of shell companies.The net result: the U.S. government will no longer require shell companies to disclose their beneficial owners, allowing wealthy individuals and corporations to hide their profits from public scrutiny. The CTA, passed in 2021, had required companies to submit ownership data to FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) as a means to tackle tax evasion and corporate cronyism. The rule's enforcement had already been frozen by a federal court order. Reacting to the Treasury's announcement, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, calling the CTA “an absolute disaster for Small Businesses Nationwide” and celebrating the suspension of what he described as “the economic menace” of beneficial ownership reporting.This episode's Spotlight segment features returning guest Nigel Morris-Cotterill, a renowned expert in counter-money laundering and financial crime compliance. He breaks down why the term “beneficial ownership” is a legal misnomer in corporate law and argues that the CTA was always set up to fail—especially in a country like the U.S. that has historically resisted full FATF compliance. Nigel discusses how this rollback affects compliance expectations in Asia-Pacific financial hubs like Hong Kong and Singapore, stressing that legal and compliance professionals in the region must remain vigilant. He also cautions that the rollback creates tension between U.S. and local AML standards, while selective extraterritorial enforcement by the U.S. is all but guaranteed.Joining the discussion, Malcolm Nance and Oonagh Van den Berg weigh in on the global implications of the move. They explore whether this rollback represents a temporary pause for regulatory review or a tectonic shift in the U.S.'s approach to corporate accountability, transparency, and AML enforcement. Oonagh underscores that while the CTA imposed real burdens on SMEs, the abandonment of enforcement could signal a broader retreat from anti-corruption efforts—especially as the Trump administration also moves to suspend the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and disband units focused on fighting kleptocracy.Together, the panel explores pressing questions: Will deregulation lead to more illicit finance? Is this the start of a new multipolar world order where financial crime enforcement becomes political and transactional? They touch on how trade-based money laundering, sanctions evasion, and the exploitation of legacy systems like hawala continue to pose massive risks to financial systems.The conversation ends with a consensus that blanket deregulation is not the answer. Instead, they call for smarter, more risk-based, tech-enabled regulation that moves beyond box-ticking and uses modern tools—like AI and data analytics—to target the real threats. It's a sobering yet thought-provoking discussion on what may be the beginning of a global recalibration in financial crime compliance.HKU FinTech is the leading fintech research and education in Asia.

Send us a textOn this episode of the podcast I am fortunate to be joined by Karen, Emma and Oonagh to discuss their campaign group #ThereForME. They came together to form #ThereForME following personal experiences of either living with ME, Long Covid and/or caring for partners with severe ME. They are a small group who are making a huge impact. We talk about their roles within the campaign group, how they came together and what they have done in such a short space of time. The group talk me through the campaign #FundThePlan which is raising awareness on a new delivery plan for ME that has been a work in progress for around 3 years for ME, looking at research, attitude and education and living with ME. The government has stated there are no plans to fund the plan, which will have a continuing impact around the lack of resources for ME. The #FundThePlan is something everyone can get involved with, by creating a short video asking Ashley Dalton and Wes Streeting to make a difference and #FundThePlan. If you are living with the condition (and are able), caring for someone or a supporter/advocate please take the time to create your #FundThePlan video. The templates and information can be found across the #ThereForME social media platforms the links can be found below, and if you aren't already please support and follow the group on social media.

This podcast is a recording of a webinar presented by Oonagh Gilvarry, Chief Research Officer at HCI. In this webinar, Oonagh discusses HIQA's one-year overview report on the monitoring and inspection of International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centres.
Having Long Covid can be an extremely isolating experience, patients may not look unwell, but they have debilitating symptoms like shortness of breath, muscle pain or extreme fatigue. Sufferers say it's hard to explain what's happening, but now there's another language to help them communicate. It's called "body mapping" and is bringing positive results to Long Covid patients. Oxford University research fellow Maaret Yokela-Pansini teamed up with colleague Professor Beth Greenhough to use body mapping for their project Visualising Long Covid, with the help of charity Long Covid Support.Former professional rower turned Long Covid advocate, Oonagh Cousins, says body mapping allowed her to reflect on how the illness is experienced in different parts of the body. Maaret and Oonagh speak to Mihi.

Send us a textAs I reflect on this year, I've noticed something new: I'm way less interested in chasing those giant, shiny achievement goals. Instead, I'm soaking up the everyday moments—and loving it. Honestly, that's a twist for me, but then I stumbled on an interview that totally lit the spark.When I picked up How to Calm Your Mind, I didn't realize it was exactly what I needed.Chris Bailey—productivity whiz, calm connoisseur, and all-around brilliant storyteller—shares this vivid moment where he spotted himself in the overflow drain of his bathtub (yep, that's what that random metal thing is called) looking utterly wiped out. Next day? Public anxiety meltdown.Sound familiar? We've all been there, somewhere on the anxiety spectrum. And guess what? The lowest point on that spectrum isn't zero—it's something deeper: true calm. But, uh, how do we even get there?Chris says it starts with understanding burnout. Real burnout comes with three heavy hitters: exhaustion (check), cynicism (hello, eye rolls), and inefficacy (the opposite of feeling productive). And the culprits? Six sneaky factors—found at work and in life—that, when misaligned, push you to the edge.Then there's dopamine, that pesky chemical our brain craves but rarely gets from the right sources. Chris introduces a “Stimulation Fast”—basically detoxing from hollow dopamine hits like, yep, social media. Sure, TikTok's fun, but swapping it for something truly fulfilling (knitting? gardening? birdwatching?) is a game-changer.At its core, most of us want a meaningful life. So here's the mic-drop question Chris leaves us with:Are you chasing a life that you value—or one the world values?What's Inside:Why exactly would you want to calm your mind?Burnout is more than just exhaustion. What are the three symptoms?Six factors at work that contribute to burnout, stress, and anxiety... Can you fix them?Do you need stimulation fast? Taking a look at empty sources of dopamine?This interview was the catalyst for a deep look inward, and I'm focusing less on huge achievements and more on the value I find in my day-to-day. Where are you on that spectrum? Let me know on Insta!Mentioned in This Episode:Chris BaileyFit Feels Good info@fitfeelsgood.com Oonagh on Insta

Take a listen as Rebecca and I chat about the plot, characters, Irish/Celtic spiritualism, Native American culture and spiritualism, grief/grieving, and more! The first fifteen minutes are spoiler free!A little about The Stones of Burren Bay: In a tragic car accident, 15-year-old Norie loses her deadbeat father while her distant mother is injured. Her prized possession, an antique artist's box that traveled from Ireland with her great-great-grandmother, is destroyed along with her deep connection to her art. As Norie grapples with her self-identity, obscured by grief and anger, she and her physically and emotionally fragile mother are forced to relocate. With no other relatives to rely on, they call on the kindness of her mother's oldest friend Dahlia and her daughter Wil, who run the Jolly Pot Tearoom and Burren Bay Lighthouse Museum on Manitoulin Island. Dahlia introduces Norie to ancient Irish Celtic spiritualism and opens the thin veil between the past and present where Norie encounters the echo of a century's old spirit, Oonagh. Through Oonagh's own story Norie comes to terms with her father's betrayal and death and rediscovers her passion for art.

Send us a textAlright, meet Tara Dower, AKA "Candy Mama” (a trail name born of sugar and love for her trail mates); while she's refined some of those habits… the sweet, sweet nickname still stands.Tara set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Appalachian Trail, powering through 2,189 miles in 40 days, 18 hours, and 5 minutes. To put that in perspective, that's like running from Calgary to Toronto…while climbing Mt. Everest 16 times. (My feet hurt just thinking about it!)So Who's This Crazy MOFO? Tara is the definition of grit, making it on the news as an endurance phenom. This is not Tara's first stab at the Appalachian Trail, previously accomplishing a thru-hike over the course of 5 months in 2019. Her first attempt in 2017 ended early due to a massive panic attack just 8 days in. If that bit of perseverance isn't enough, Tara shifted her goals and intentions with completing this hike to enjoy the challenge, not just another box to tick!Pit Crew to the Rescue! Tara is a metaphorical race car, fueled by a pit crew swapping out shoes like tires. Along the way, Tara raised over $50,000 for Girls on the Run along the way, mentoring the next gen of fearless female athletes. Her feat is part of a new wave of women pushing limits in endurance running. Even a powerhouse like Tara doesn't celebrate till it's over, claiming that she knew she'd made it when she got close enough that “Even if I fall and break my leg, I'll crawl! ” (Talk about GRIT baby)Whether you're an endurance athlete or you've just got a tough goal, take a note from Candy Mama: set your ego aside, follow your curiosity, and remember—if you don't try, you'll never know. What's Inside:Endurance Runner, Tara Dower's FTK on the Appalachian Trail.The grit, discipline, and team support of an endurance athlete.How shifting goal setting can aid anxiety.Following your curiosity to accomplish even the seemingly impossible! Maybe you're an endurance athlete already in awe of Tara Dower. Or you might be thinking, Oh hell no, Oonagh, you won't catch me on a trail like that... Either way, you probably have a tough goal on the horizon. Take this episode as your permission to go for it and even permission to fail! What's that goal for you?

The Nettle Dress is available to stream online (https://watch.eventive.org/nettledressfilm/play/66fd50e5edab64004eb9dd5f) from November 15–December 2, 2024. Most of us avoid nettles, thinking of them as weeds whose little stinging hairs can inject a painful toxin into the unexpecting walker. But strolling through the woods near his home in England, Allan Brown was captivated by the tall native plants. Knowing that textile cultures across the world have produced cloth from nettles, he wanted to learn more about cloth made with nettle fiber. Except for a few exceptions—giant Himalayan nettles and ramie, which is a non-stinging plant in the nettle family—the era of nettle textiles is over. But thousands of years ago, nettle cloth and cordage fulfilled human needs for garments and tools. Like other ancient textiles, nettle cloth has almost entirely disappeared, rotted away and returned to the soil. Allan knew that the only way to experience cloth made from nettle would be to create it himself, so he set about processing, spinning, and weaving fabric from stands of nettles that grew wild in the woods. Before he could get down to cloth-making, though, he had to learn how to extract the fiber from the plant—a process without contemporary documentation or a skilled teacher. (The stinging parts of the plant are removed during processing, so textiles made from nettle fiber feel more like cotton or linen than stinging barbs.) He learned to spin, which proved not only the most time-consuming but also the most meaningful part of the project. “I just found spinning so therapeutic,” he says. He felt the solace of handspinning keenly when his wife, Alex, passed away over the course of his nettle exploration. In the aftermath of Alex dying, my world grew very small, my perimeters drew in, and I was just looking after the family. Sometimes my only connection to a wider world was just going out and collecting nettles, but it was within a really small geographical margin. So I think events sort of led me to, rather than looking for bigger and more, I tuned into the familiar, going in deeper and seeing what I could find and what I'd previously overlooked. And realizing, oh my goodness—all these plants, they provide dyes, these plants provide fibers, and they're all there right on my doorstep and have been under my nose all along. So it feels like it's really connected me to a sense of place in a much deeper way than perhaps I had been before. As he spun years' worth of yarn, Allan decided that the nettle project would culimate in a dress. A simple shape, cut efficiently from a narrow width of cloth, would be enough to create a dress for his daughter Oonagh, so he wove yards of plain-weave fabric and even spun the sewing thread to stitch the piece together. Seven years after his first experiments with nettle fiber, he slipped a handmade nettle dress over her head. Following Allan on his exploration, his film-director friend Dylan Howitt captured the stages of the process and has released a film called The Nettle Dress. (https://www.nettledress.org/) The film has been released in a number of markets, including the United Kingdom, and some audiences have been fortunate to meet the fiber artist and even touch the dress at a screening. The story of the dress and its creator remind us that the long history of foraged, handmade cloth can be ours again if we have the dedication to revive it.

What can we do? Even though it may be difficult at times, advocate for yourself: be open with your employer to secure the support or adjustments you need Having open discussions, using clear language and avoiding terms like ‘the change', can help dispel the stigma around menopause There is a chapter dedicated to menopause and the workplace in Dr Louise's bestselling book, The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause.

"Ugh, it's 3am, I have to be up at 6... that's in 3 hours. I only went to bed at 11. That means I've only gotten 4 hours of sleep. I'm wide awake. I can't survive off of 4 hours of sleep. Why am I up right now???”Anyone been through this middle of the night spiral full of complicated word problems you thought you left behind in 7th grade? Janet Whalen says NO. MATH. AT. NIGHT!!!! She is a Sleep & Life coach and the founder of Permission to Sleep. As someone who suffered from insomnia herself to now self proclaimed "the world's most amazing sleeper” she shares her tips for those also suffering from the stress of not getting the rest they deserve.First things first, Janet is NOT a doctor. Anyone who may be suffering from problems that could be medical, such as sleep apnea, night terrors, or trauma requiring sleep medication, should seek a sleep study and medical advice from their doctor. Janet is a champion of the idea of embracing wakefulness. She even poses this super deep question, Why do we need sleep? The best way to get sleep and rest is to be calm, so preventing that 3 a.m. freak-out is key. Just because you're awake doesn't mean something has gone wrong. Another factor we discuss is... what's keeping you awake? Your personal drama and anxiety? Aging and hormones? Your partner's snoring? Each requires individual attention and strategies that Janet has ideas for.What about melatonin? That'll solve all my problems, right? Wrong! Janet explains the purpose of this supplement and who really needs it… and what can happen when you're oversupplementing.Sleep is sacred. It's special. It rejuvenates us. But it should not be a source of stress. That's where Janet comes in! Unfortunately, Janet isn't accepting clients at this time.What's Inside:What it looks like to give yourself the rest and sleep you deserve.How embracing wakefulness can actually promote better sleep.The culprit of your insomnia and what you can do about it. Aging, hormones, and their effect on your sleep.The dangers of oversupplementing melatonin?What does sleep medication really do?“Sleep Divorce” may not be as bad as it sounds.I had a ton of questions for Sleep & Life Coach Janet Whalen, what did I miss?

So you wanna ask Oonagh?I've combed over some FAQs and important questions from my MFA groups and we're talking about something everyone has experience with... self soothing with food.Whether it's emotional eating, feeling out of control with holiday travel and parties, or that pesky but sweet sweet Halloween candy in the cabinet.There is a common theme surrounding all of these events…taking control of your choices and owning them, OR falling victim to circumstance.How you frame these situations makes all the difference in the shaping of habits, THIS is the real work.Food is but a tool in the tool belt of life, and when you adjust how you view it and learn how to use more diverse tools for support… you're on track, baby!SO are you in this mental minefield? Do you need a lifeline? I'm gonna talk you through three things Tony Robbins says you need to change to change how you feel: Physiology, Focus, and Meaning.Who's the boss?

While choosing a vegetarian or vegan diet may have many health benefits, there are also certain nutritional challenges.The recommended daily intake for vitamin B12 is only 2 micrograms, but you would be surprised to know what this little amount is able to do in our body. Vegetarians and vegans can easily become vitamin B12-deficient, simply because the vitamin is only found in animal food sources. If you consume a strictly plant-based diet, you are hard-pressed to cover your need for this particular nutrient.Script 2Could summer surprise you?If you go with the flow, Could it thrill and delight you? Could summer surprise you? If dreams take flight, Could you soar like the birds do? Could summer surprise you? If you drink it all in, Could the good times find you? Could summer surprise you?

Most of us avoid nettles, thinking of them as weeds whose little stinging hairs can inject a painful toxin into the unexpecting walker. But strolling through the woods near his home in England, Allan Brown was captivated by the tall native plants. Knowing that textile cultures across the world have produced cloth from nettles, he wanted to learn more about cloth made with nettle fiber. Except for a few exceptions—giant Himalayan nettles and ramie, which is a non-stinging plant in the nettle family—the era of nettle textiles is over. But thousands of years ago, nettle cloth and cordage fulfilled human needs for garments and tools. Like other ancient textiles, nettle cloth has almost entirely disappeared, rotted away and returned to the soil. Allan knew that the only way to experience cloth made from nettle would be to create it himself, so he set about processing, spinning, and weaving fabric from stands of nettles that grew wild in the woods. Before he could get down to cloth-making, though, he had to learn how to extract the fiber from the plant—a process without contemporary documentation or a skilled teacher. (The stinging parts of the plant are removed during processing, so textiles made from nettle fiber feel more like cotton or linen than stinging barbs.) He learned to spin, which proved not only the most time-consuming but also the most meaningful part of the project. “I just found spinning so therapeutic,” he says. He felt the solace of handspinning keenly when his wife, Alex, passed away over the course of his nettle exploration. In the aftermath of Alex dying, my world grew very small, my perimeters drew in, and I was just looking after the family. Sometimes my only connection to a wider world was just going out and collecting nettles, but it was within a really small geographical margin. So I think events sort of led me to, rather than looking for bigger and more, I tuned into the familiar, going in deeper and seeing what I could find and what I'd previously overlooked. And realizing, oh my goodness—all these plants, they provide dyes, these plants provide fibers, and they're all there right on my doorstep and have been under my nose all along. So it feels like it's really connected me to a sense of place in a much deeper way than perhaps I had been before. As he spun years' worth of yarn, Allan decided that the nettle project would culimate in a dress. A simple shape, cut efficiently from a narrow width of cloth, would be enough to create a dress for his daughter Oonagh, so he wove yards of plain-weave fabric and even spun the sewing thread to stitch the piece together. Seven years after his first experiments with nettle fiber, he slipped a handmade nettle dress over her head. Following Allan on his exploration, his film-director friend Dylan Howitt captured the stages of the process and has released a film called The Nettle Dress. (https://www.nettledress.org/) The film has been released in a number of markets, including the United Kingdom, and some audiences have been fortunate to meet the fiber artist and even touch the dress at a screening. The story of the dress and its creator remind us that the long history of foraged, handmade cloth can be ours again if we have the dedication to revive it.
