Wed, 13 Aug 2025 02:32:00 -0000

Before we kick into the official first episode, I wanted to catch you up on where I’ve been for the past eight months, why I left The Edge after nearly two decades, and what’s been going on in my life — the good, the bad, and the flu.

From finding my feet without a daily radio show to learning te reo, dealing with loss, and MORE… It’s been a ride. Think of this as Episode Zero — a little life update, a little bit of honesty, and a whole lot of ‘escaping the shit show’ together.

Over Exercising & AMA with Han Romano

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 11:00:00 -0000

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.

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”

SHOCKER! I’ve got ADHD, now what?

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 12:00:00 -0000

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.

SERTRALINE SISTERS with Jazz Thornton & why you should take your meds

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 19:38:55 -0000

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

The Skinny on OZEMPIC with Johann Hari

Sun, 07 Jul 2024 12:00:00 -0000

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.
Also joining the chat from a Kiwi perspective my friend Katie and a bunch of amazing wāhine from our Better Me (Hopefully) community share their experiences.
