S7 E4 - Finding Humour in the Hardest Moments: Lorna Cronin on Miscarriage, Weight Loss & GLP-1

“I wasn’t prepared for what happened… no one tells you what it’s really like.”Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of miscarriage, baby loss, trauma, and mental health. This week I'm joined by Lorna Cronin, known online as @lorzylovey and while you might know her for her humour and relatability, this episode shares the story behind the laughter.Lorna opens up about her experience of multiple miscarriages, including one deeply traumatic loss that changed everything for her. She speaks so honestly about the loneliness, the shock, and the reality of what women go through, often in silence.We also talk about her journey with weight, body image, and her experience using GLP-1 medication, and how it’s impacted not just her body, but her mind.What I loved most about this conversation is Lorna’s ability to hold both truth and humour at the same time, and how she uses comedy not to hide, but to cope.This episode is raw, real, and incredibly important.✨ In this episode:Growing up in Cork and feeling shy as a childADHD and understanding herself later in lifeEarly career, moving to London & homesicknessMeeting her husband and building a life togetherMiscarriages and the emotional toll of lossThe trauma of hospital experience Loneliness, grief, and not feeling understoodUsing humour as a coping mechanismThe pressure to “just get on with it”Her weight journey and body image strugglesGLP-1 and how it changed her mindsetFood noise, emotional eating & breaking patternsThe stigma around weight loss medicationSetting boundaries and starting to put herself firstSocial media, community & finding connection onlineConfidence vs courage and learning to back herselfYou can find Lorna here: Instagram | Facebook | TikTok ____BeBelle is a podcast hosted by Sian Horn that dives into the stories of remarkable people behind their businesses.
