Selfdom

In this episode of Selfdom, I chat to Katie Martin. Katie has helped thousands of women transform their relationship with movement, not through restriction or punishment, but through consistency, confidence, and community. Her programs on Sweat have empowered women globally to embrace strength training, reconnect with their bodies, and prioritise themselves in a whole new way.
We dive into her journey, the mindset it takes to move with purpose, and chat about motivation, rest, cycle syncing, her favourite rituals, and how movement can be a form of emotional release and self-respect.
Whether you're new to training or want to deepen your wellness journey, this conversation will remind you that strength is so much more than what we see on the outside.

In this episode of Selfdom, Dom sits down with the bold and brilliant Margarita Nazarenko — mindset mentor, feminine energy coach, and author of the game-changing book The New Rules.
Together, they dive deep into:
What it really means to "become her"
How to build unshakable self-worth after heartbreak or rejection
Dating in 2025 (and how to spot the red flags before the situationship)
Shifting from masculine hustle to grounded, magnetic feminine energy
Why women keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners — and how to change that
This is a no-fluff, high-value conversation for anyone who’s ready to stop settling, raise their standards, and fully step into the confident, radiant version of themselves.

On the 9th of October 2026, our little girl Gia came into the world. It was a hard and fast labour, the most intense day of our lives, but also the best day of our lives. I feel so incredibly grateful for how it all played out.
I recorded this episode just three days postpartum, sitting in my pyjamas with no makeup on, because I wanted to capture every little detail while it was still fresh in my mind. I'd heard how quickly you can forget the details of birth, and I'm so happy I took the time to record it.
So today, I'm sharing the full rundown of my unmedicated birth story with you as we wrap up our Next Self series on Selfdom. From the first signs of labour to the moment we met our little girl, this is a day I will never forget.
Thank you for following along on this journey into motherhood. If you have any questions about my birth experience, leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to get back to you.

In this episode of Selfdom, I’m joined by my personal trainer Janis Blums to explore the importance of strength and carbohydrates for women’s health. We dive into how muscle supports metabolism, why carbs are essential for hormone balance and energy, and how to train in sync with your cycle to feel stronger, balanced, and more in tune with your body.

What actually happens to a woman’s brain when she becomes pregnant, and why are we still calling it “baby brain”?
In this episode of Selfdom, I’m joined by neuroscientist and author Dr Sarah McKay to unpack the incredible neuroscience of pregnancy, matrescence and motherhood.
We explore how the brain physically changes during pregnancy, the role hormones play in rewiring the maternal brain, why emotions and protective instincts can become heightened, and whether “maternal instinct” is something we’re born with or something our brains develop.
We also dive into why your priorities and identity can begin to shift, how long these neurological changes last, and the empowering truth about what the maternal brain may actually be becoming better at.
This conversation completely changed the way I think about pregnancy. Rather than seeing these changes as something we lose to motherhood, the science shows just how extraordinary and adaptive the female brain really is.
Whether you’re pregnant, already a mother or simply curious about the female brain, this is an episode every woman should hear.
