•
This week on Get The Gist, we’re joined by Demi Santana Brown Fitness Babe & Love Is Blind star and let’s just say… she brought the energy AND the honesty 😅🔥
We kick things off chatting life abroad (UK vs Malta 👀✈️) before getting into Demi’s world from football roots to becoming a full-on “Gunna Runna” 🏃♀️💨 We talk committing to fitness, posting online, and what it really takes to hit big goals (including a mini marathon in under 2 hours… casual 👏🔥).
We get into marathon tips (size UP your runners pls), why running shoes aren’t always the vibe, and the importance of giving back and staying grounded 💛
🚨 One Good, One Bad is BACK 🚨
From keratin treatments and Egypt trips to no-gym struggles — chaos as always 😅
The chat deepens as we talk comparison, life pressures, and faith navigating your own beliefs, questioning traditions, and finding what feels right for YOU 🙏✨
A really powerful moment as Demi opens up about living with endometriosis the good, the bad & the unseen struggles. If you needed a reminder you’re not alone, this is it 💛
Of course, we get into Love Is Blind 👀 what it’s really like behind the scenes, the emotional rollercoaster, and her biggest advice: just be yourself 🎥
We wrap things up with tomboy vs princess energy, pregnancy chats, and a chaotic GIST CHECK quiz (football, marathons & Arsenal 😅⚽🔥)
It’s giving laughs, honesty & real conversations — don’t miss this one 🎧💅

Why Are All the Baddies Pregnant?! 👀 | Get The Gist
36:59|This week on Get the Gist, we’re addressing the elephant in the room …why we left our studio and why we’re now filming in the UK!From the internet suddenly turning into a baby boom (why are ALL the baddies getting pregnant?!) to the very real conversation around protecting your pregnancy from the evil eye, we get into it all. Pregnancy is draining enough as it is, so we’re also sharing some honest postpartum tips for new mums navigating those early days.We also dive into the social media debates everyone has opinions on hiding your man’s face but posting your kids… wild or understandable? Should parents post their children online at all, or could it actually block opportunities for them later in life? And let’s be real… in Ireland you can post a picture of your front door and someone will still know exactly where you live Plus, we’re calling out the boys posting holiday pics without giving their babe any credit (we see you ), debating whether men without pedicures should be banned from wearing sandals, and asking the bigger question: should we just start accepting our bodies as they are — even the naked ones?And of course, we finish with a reminder we all need to hear… looks will fade, so make sure you’ve got a personality too.Timestamps00:30 – Why We Left Ireland06:08 – Why Are All the Baddies Pregnant?07:20 – Postpartum Talk08:05 – Why Are All the Baddies Pregnant?
