Okay so… you know how you sometimes hear someone drop a sentence like, “Oh, I can’t make it that week; I’ll be racing horses across Mongolia,” and you’re like WAIT WHAT NOW? That’s basically been me for years every time my friend Callie King casually mentions her life.

So in this episode, I finally scratch that itch and go full nosy bitch mode. Because Callie is one of those people who lives so boldly and so intentionally that you kinda want to hate her, except she’s also really chill and generous and has zero ego about it. Like, this woman has lived in a Chevy Tracker with her dog, owns multiple income properties, built an adobe house in Mexico by hand, and manifested a partner straight off her dream board. And she makes it all look effortless.

But here’s the thing. None of this happened because she was born rich or “just lucky.” It’s mindset. It’s values. It’s choosing freedom over fear, again and again and again.

We talk about how to make bold, “unreasonable” choices even when your bank account says nope, how to check yourself when you’re operating from hustle-and-grind scarcity mode, and what it actually means to create a life that feels like yours.

This episode is a wake-up call, but like, the loving kind. The kind with pancakes and a puppy and a side of "You’re capable of so much more than this."

What’s Inside:

• How Callie built a wildly unconventional life (without a trust fund or tech-bro energy)
• Why your mindset around money might be what’s actually keeping you stuck
• The difference between taking action from fear vs. fun (and why it matters)
• What it really looks like to manifest a partner (hint: she didn’t just light a candle and hope)

So, yeah. If you’ve been dreaming about selling everything, living in a treehouse, or just getting the hell out of a life that no longer fits, this might be the episode you didn’t know you needed.

Spoiler alert: You don’t need a five-year plan. You just need to start.

Okay, let’s talk about the thing that is straight-up hijacking our homes right now: screens. If you’ve ever shouted, “Get off your phone!” at your kid while... checking your own email for the 50th time that hour? Yep, same. That’s why I brought on the brilliant, passionate, and hilariously relatable Emily Cherkin, also known as The Screen Time Consultant.

Emily is a former middle school teacher turned full-time tech-intentional parenting badass. She’s worked with families, schools, and even policymakers and has been quoted by CHUCK NORRIS, for crying out loud. But what really hit me? She gets it. She gets the emotional labor, the mom guilt, the struggle between “don’t rot your brain” and “I just need 20 minutes of quiet to make dinner.”

In this episode, Emily unpacks why screen time is actually a symptom, not the root problem; why parental controls are basically the IKEA instructions of tech parenting (look good on paper, don’t really work); and how to shift our whole approach without going full “live in the woods with no WiFi” extreme.

Also, fair warning: You will leave this conversation questioning the idea that your kid needs a phone “just in case they get kidnapped.” (Spoiler: statistically… no.)

If you’ve ever handed over a screen and then immediately felt like a failure, or had a deep desire to yeet your kid’s iPad into a lake, this episode is your new therapy. No judgment, no shame. Just some straight-up truth bombs and actual strategies that make sense in the real world.

What’s Inside:

• Why screens aren’t the real issue, and what’s actually going on
• The sneaky ways screen time is hijacking relationships, not just attention spans
• Why fear-based parenting (hello, Stranger Danger) is totally messing with our decisions
• How to build real-life skills in your kids before handing over the tech

Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if it’s even possible to raise decent humans in a world full of TikTok and YouTube Shorts? You are not alone.
This conversation is your reminder that you don’t have to go full Amish to protect your kid’s brain. Let’s talk about what’s working (and what’s making you want to scream into a pillow). DM me on Instagram @oonaghduncan and let’s swap screen-time war stories. Seriously. I want to hear what’s happening at your house.

This episode is for every single one of you who’s ever said, “Ugh, I know what I should be doing but… life.” You sent me your juiciest, trickiest, and most “what do I do when everything goes to hell” questions… and I’m answering them all in this final installment of the Healthy As F*ck book club series.

We get into shift work, inconsistent schedules, the real deal on weight loss drugs like Ozempic, whether sugar addiction is actually a thing, and what to do if you’re feeling like you’re just half-assing your healthy habits (spoiler: that might not be such a bad thing).

Also…if you’ve ever found yourself staring at the ceiling at 3am with your brain screaming, “WHAT IS LIFE?” I’ve got the weird sleep trick that actually worked for me (and no, it’s not just putting your phone in another room or taking melatonin. It’s next-level ninja stuff I got from a sleep coach).

Basically, this is one big habits and health advice love fest—tough love included.

What’s Inside:

• What to do if your habits feel too half-assed (and why that’s better than nothing)
• Hacks for making healthy habits stick with an inconsistent or shift-work schedule
• My (non-expert but informed) take on Ozempic and the weight loss drug trend
• Is sugar addiction real? How to tell if you're hooked and what to do about it
• How I finally tackled my insomnia—and the weird bedtime rule that actually worked

Let’s get real: If you’re tired of thinking the “wellness rules” don’t fit your actual, messy, very human life, this episode is your permission slip to chill out, get consistent, and maybe even...enjoy the process a little? Got your own burning question? Hit that SpeakPipe link and maybe I’ll tackle your stuff in a future episode!
