Eugh that disgusts me because she's basically just preying on their vulnerabilities around their bodies changing. She doesn'tShe doesn’t want kids but she wants to float around new and expecting mother’s and give them advice? Seems like an odd fit.
Oof...someone definitely must have had a word with her about the drinkingHer email today:
Are you letting other people’s opinions affect what you do or how you live your life?
One thing I’ve seen a lot of over the years, is the gossip and comments when somebody decides to “go for it” or even do something even slightly different to the social norm.
Back in 2014, I even set up a separate instagram account because I was embarrassed about the fact that I was going to try make a career in fitness.
I was really worried that my friends would laugh or cringe at me sharing my workouts and recipes.
Luckily, it all worked out - and my “fitness account” outgrew poor old @siobhsies2013.
I realised that a lot of people supported me on this journey. I also realised that anybody who was slagging me, was actually just a little internally envious.
I know, I know, that sounds really patronising and what somebody would say about the school bully “don’t mind them - they’re just jealous!”
But it’s true. Think about when you are really looking after yourself and making great choices with your nutrition or going a few weeks off the drink.
The loudest critics are most often the people who wish they had the discipline, drive or guts to do what you’re doing.
I’m forever telling friends with small businesses to put themselves “out there” online. People buy off people they trust and if you are selling a product or service, it can be really beneficial to have a face or personality behind the brand.
But there is often a fear of what Karen down the road will think if she sees you speaking on your story.
Karen will never buy from you, if she is the type of person to make snide comments like that.
Or else you are making up Karen - and there is nobody who will be criticising you. You are creating these fake scenarios and opinions in your head.
Let’s say you don’t want to drink at the wedding this weekend because you’re feeling really good and don’t want to ruin that feeling.
You know your friend will be so angry if you don’t drink.
But will she?
Or are you projecting?
If you are holding yourself back because of other people’s opinions - there are two things to consider:
- their opinion does not matter (they won’t be the reason your business/life is a success/failure)
- they don’t actually care (you think they are thinking things that they are not thinking, or else they are thinking and not saying anything - which shouldn’t affect you anyway?) (sorry - I've read that sentence a few times and I'm not sure if it makes any sense!)
Do what YOU want to do. Drink if you want to, don’t drink if you want to. Have a kid if you want to, don’t have one if you don’t (I presume people don’t need an email from me to tell you that!!) Speak to the camera if you want to.
Take the risk. Do the thing that makes you happy.
You may even have to make new, supportive friends.
When you’re on your death bed, you won’t give a sh*t what Karen thought of your life.

P.S. I should probably add - if somebody really close to you is critical of something you are doing - have a conversation about it. They should have your best interests at heart and could be genuinely worried or concerned about what is best for you.
sorry now but how is she living differently? She’s basically on a constant holiday…she’s hardly backpacking or even going beyond 1km from her luxury bed.
Every second person person on Instagram is a PT.
And regarding her little story about not drinking and a friend being angry…that was her to Sinead.
She’s either drinking herself into oblivion or she’s off the drink and every second thought is about drinking?!?Oof...someone definitely must have had a word with her about the drinking
The constant need for self validation and justification of thoughts, actions or life decisions is mind boggling & so defensive!!!!!Her email today:

Her sign off absolutely graaaate on meSiobhan "forever putting myself out there" O'Hagan
From trolls to Karens - we’ve been promoted, and the context is still completely lost on herShe somehow seems to have managed to go through all of the last few years and BLM movements misunderstanding the meaning of the word Karen...
I don't think Karen really works in the context of her email. Hilarious.
I'm kind shocked but also not at the same time.
Also thought she stopped doing daily emails cos they were absolute tripe.
