Winter in Ireland and the U.K. was cold, dark and rainy. And now, much like Moses leading the people out of the desert, Megan Thee Stallion has arrived to lead us into Hot Girl Summer.

41. Strong is not the new skinny

Weightless with Michelle Carroll ·

2026/03/24

You may have heard the latest uproar on social media owing to the return of "heroin chic" and "GLP-1 bodies". This was immediately used for content by a rake of influencers. Some virtue-signalling, some actually trying to make a fair point. Swings and roundabouts. However, it got me thinking about what we replaced thinspiration with – fitsporation. And, it turns out they aren’t all that different... or are they?WORK WITH ME:⁠⁠⁠Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Disordered Eating

40. Why you need to stop the fat talk

Weightless with Michelle Carroll ·

2026/03/17

What you say about your body matters - more than you might think. In this episode, we dive into the world of “body talk,” from self-deprecating fat talk to empowering conversations about what your body can do. We explore why casually tearing ourselves down is normalised, whether it’s really harmless, and how shifting the conversation can reduce body dissatisfaction and fatphobia. Listen in for insight, laughs (I hope!) and a few “aha” moments that might just change the way you talk about yourself

Athletic body image differs from that of the general population... and it might be just as poorly understood.

It's no secret that I think every coach should be more body image conscious in their marketing and coaching... but where do you start?

Women with PCOS have long been victimised by online fat loss “specialists” who capitalise on female health conditions by making them all about how you can’t lose weight...I hate it here.

2025/12/02

Disordered eating (DE) is becoming increasingly common, and anyone with eyes and a working Instagram account can see that we have plenty of reason to suspect that fitness professionals struggle with their relationships with food (see: the inability to post what you eat in a day without also pretty much showing it in transit as you document your physique to the minute).But are coaches at elevated risk of disordered eating?
