The Dose with Paddy and Belinda15 Loka 2025

From Frozen Grapes to Feck It: Lorna’s (lorzylovey) honest take on life after 40, self-worth, and laughing your way back to health. [S3E2]

Lorna Cronin aka lorzylovey - joins Paddy and Belinda for a laugh-out-loud, heart-on-sleeve conversation about finding humour and self-worth on the road back to health.
From Cork chaos to comedy sketches, from grief to growth, she shares how laughter helped her rebuild confidence when life felt heavy.
This episode is equal parts honesty, craic, and courage, proof that healing doesn’t have to be tidy to be powerful.

Throughout the banter we chat about:

The viral moment that turned a Slimming Club story into a social-media career

The quiet shame that lingers after years of dieting
What “backwards body dysmorphia” really felt like
Finding balance between vulnerability and laughter online
How turning forty changed everything

The power of saying feck it and finally doing life on your own terms
