I lay in bed last night and got so sick of every excuse I've been making that I decided to do something about it. Live. On a walk. With no plan.

This is Day 1 of BOMB: Back On My Bullshit. A 30 day lock-in with five non-negotiables, every single day, weekends included: up at 5am with no snoozing, in bed by 9pm at the latest, a minimum of 10k steps split over a morning and evening walk, intermittent fasting, and not one cent spent on food that didn't come from the supermarket. Yes, that includes the gelati shop. Yes, they have Biscoff cookies. No.

This is not a transformation challenge. It's about getting back the rhythm and consistency I used to be known for, because I've spent the last couple of years letting my excuses run the show and I miss feeling good. Think of it as my mini 75 Hard, with the bar set deliberately low so I actually do it.

In this one: why I'm doing it, the five rules, the cafe habit that was costing me, the swimsuit moment that tipped me over the edge, and one very large lizard.

Recorded live on my morning walk, so the audio is what it is. Mic from tomorrow.

If your excuses are creeping up too, come with me. DM me BOMB on Instagram (@morningwithmegsradio) and I'll be your accountability buddy. You don't have to announce it. You don't have to do all five. 30 days in the grand scheme of life is nothing.

Take what resonates, leave the rest.

New episode every morning for 30 days. Follow so Day 2 finds you.

19 years. That's how long it took from Megs's first period to her endometriosis diagnosis — and she only realised the number when Rhiannon made her do the maths live on this episode.

This week: the endo deep-dive. Naturopath Rhiannon explains the difference between endometriosis and adenomyosis (they are NOT the same thing), why endo is so often an estrogen-driven condition, and the gut test she'd run on day one — including the crazy-named marker that takes the "wrapping paper" off estrogen your body already tried to throw away and sends it back into circulation.

Plus: the endo–IBS link and leaky gut, why the gluten-free aisle can make your inflammation WORSE (looking at you, $8 biscuits), the FODMAP trap — why it works short-term and backfires long-term, the supplements worth knowing about (and why cheap chemist fish oil isn't one of them), how much blood loss is actually normal per cycle (50–80ml — flooding every hour is not it), and Megs's story: the surgery that missed it, the surgery that found it, and the hysterectomy that ended it.

Stick around for the symptom diary method — the single most powerful thing you can bring to any practitioner's office — and the rapid-fire "go get checked" list at the end.

I took a few weeks off, moved states, and came back with a sore throat and three things I could not stop thinking about.

First: ascension colds. If you've felt flat, foggy and slightly feral since the eclipse, there might be a name for it, and I've got the sore throat to prove it. I talk about the habits I'm rebuilding from scratch and the dress that didn't fit on the weekend, and what I did instead of hating myself for it.

Then: business is hard. Stax has gone under, Hideaway has changed hands, and the internet has decided to be vicious about all of it. I've owned businesses. I've got a very different take to the group chat.

And finally, the one I can't let go of: rib contouring surgery, sold to Australian women as a five star recovery in paradise, promoted by influencers, with almost no long term evidence behind it. I'm not judging anyone who wants it. I have a lot of questions about who's selling it.

Plus the new format. Mornings with Megs is live Monday and Friday mornings from here.

Be kind to yourself. Be kind to everyone else. Buy from your friends.
