Is that the (oft told) story where she is sitting in a room with HR, crying and saying she wished she could get paid to go to the gym?

No, this was another time she got the heave ho' :ROFLMAO:

The first time was when in the recruitment company and the HR lady asked her what she really wanted to do/handed over her P45. After wiping her slobbers away she left that place and went back on a contract basis to the software company. She was doing her PT course at the same time as this contract position. She makes out that the software company were so keen to have her back that they made all these allowances for her and allowed her to remain on a contract position for as long as she wanted. But she let slip in the podcast that after a few months in this company they asked her what her plans were i.e. her contract 'wasn't extended. She says she left there reluctantly as she had yet to start training people and so had no other income. She left the software company and started working out of a gym somewhere.

She should really stop doing these stupid podcasts. It's hard to keep all the lies straight.
 
Her measurements are down on last week but she had a fun week that's her message she preaches 🤬 do me a favour Siobhan, do the furnace for a week where u live the normal life of one of your misfortune clients who doesn't have all the time in the world to do 5+ classes a week plus walk countless.steps in order to counteract your "fun" living and see if your measurements go down 😡 she sickens me that she slates all other diets etc as if her method is the holy grail of weight loss..😡

Agree with all the above. She has re-written her own history to make it sound like she could have been this high flying actuary when in reality she isn't clever or hardworking enough to make it as an actuary. With the type of degree she got from DCU it's a bit like saying you are a judge after receiving an Arts degree with law as one of your subjects.....

The reality though is that she got a normal job in a software company, didn't like it, moved to recruitment, didn't like it/was given the boot by HR , moved back to the software company and was given the boot from there too (she let this slip in that Correct Opinion Podcast/youtube she did recently.)

Given how lazy she is with her own business, I can imagine how bad she is as an employee.
Entitled, lazy, stubborn, adverse to direction.

A nightmare, she would never do well in a corporate environment.
 
HAHAHAHAHA NO GET TO duck.
This HAS to be a wind up. 😂😂😂

Today's email is....eh.......interesting....especially from a 'fitness' and 'mindset' influencer.

I can't remember the last time I had a hangover so bad as a 30 something woman that I needed to stay in bed. Also a major pet peeve of mine is people trying to make their drinking sound better by drinking 'posh' stuff. She'd drink bathtub gin out of a stinking boot if it was offered to her. Who is she kidding?



***EAMIL****

It seems like lots of people are doing “Sober October”, and I definitely considered it. In particular, on the 1st of October when I was hungover after a late Friday night with the girls.



But that’s not my usual behaviour. I think I have only had two hangovers where I stayed in bed since I moved to London.



I just love my life in London, and my training, that I rarely drink enough to have to stay in bed the next day.



But after some more reflection last week, I’ve realised that I’ve been having “one or two” a little more frequently. My weight was slowly increasing over September too.



I know enough to understand the effects that “only one or two” can have on my sleep and health, and also my choices the next day.



So why not just cut it out altogether?



Because it is a part of my social life and I really enjoy a drink. I don’t drink to get drunk. I drink because I *love* a Bordeaux red wine with a cheese board and my family.. I love a glass of bubbles at brunch with friends. Margaritas and Mexican food is my love language.



As with everything in life, I’m trying to find the right balance for me, and after I got the balance wrong last week, it forced me to reevaluate my drinking.



I didn’t think that cutting it out altogether would bring enough benefit to my life relative to the enjoyment I would be removing.



I believe that life is too short to completely remove things that make you happy in pursuit of health. But I’ve been at this long enough to know that you don’t have to.



Last week, I journalled about it.



The goal? Feel good.



The action? Only drink when I really want to. Oh and track calories



The result? I feel fantastic after a week of training efficiently, eating nutritiously, and focusing on sleep. But I also went out for Mexican food on Wednesday, Wagamama’s on Thursday, and I had my brother and his girlfriend over for the weekend so I was able to enjoy my time with them, have the odd drink but only when I really wanted it.



I’m really happy with my choices this week, so I’m just sharing my thought process in case it helps others.



Maybe I will do a sober period but right now, I don’t think it’s for me.



Thanks for reading,

Wow. The denial and justification is strong in this one. She basically can't cope with the idea of not drinking for a whole month (and we're already 10 days into it).
Adrian Chiles's whole Sunday Times thing was trying to skirt around not being able to give up alcohol but all her guff about savouring it or whatever. Maybe she read it? If you can't give it up, you're addicted.

This seems to be the new go to now that everyone has a podcast and a course/retreat. They go into breath work 😂😂

Eggs&bacon said:
Well personally I have done breathwork & have found benefits with it, each to their own ofc, but this absolute yahoo is NOT someone I would consider to be of that nature at all 😂😂😂😂

Genuine question - what benefits did you get from it? I’ve been curious about it.

Is that really from her or did you write that as satire? 😂. I genuinely can’t tell if that was written by an actual fitness influencer that is promoting drinking and defending her own choices or if it was a piss take 😂
 
Me personally, and loads of people I know drink because we just loooovvveeee the raging hangover the next day. I must be an alcoholic. Shiv only drinks because she enjoys it (in reality is dependent on it. She gives an example of a “good week” where I’d say she drank 4 nights. 🥴🥴

She’s only been living in London for what, 3-4 months? I’d say 2 hangovers where you stay in bed in the space of 3-4 months is a lot! Especially as a 34 year old woman.

Especially when you consider how often she drinks, her tolerance levels are much higher than the average person, so to get to stay in bed levels thats a serious binge.

It also says a lot that she says '1 or 2' implying that its a lot more than that multiple times a week, no wonder shes a mess
