Does Christmas make you anxious, worried or stressed about putting on weight?

Other people think it’s such a lovely magical season but all you’re thinking about is that you’re going to put on another 5kgs? After you’ve worked so hard this year?

Well this my friends, is the episode I want you to play every time you start getting anxious about Christmas. Save it to your phone, download it, bookmark it on YouTube, do whatever you need to do so that you always have access.

When Dawn Mussallem was in her 20s, she was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma.

In 2021, her heart failed and she underwent a heart transplant.

Then one year later… She became the first person ever to run a marathon 12 months after a transplant.

Dawn Mussallem is a perfect example of the impact nutrition and exercise can have on your health.

But Dawn isn’t just talking from her experience. She’s a double board‑certified Mayo Clinic physician specialising in Breast Cancer and Oncology. So not only is she giving us advice she has take...

Guys Christmas is nearly here?

How on earth did that happen?

Although maybe it’s time to leave 2025 behind 😂

To start getting ready for the holidays we decided to do a Holiday edition of Sort Your Sh*t Out with Danni and Chris 🎅

Join us as we give you a life update (I am THIS close to getting rid of the cats), why Chris is spending $120 a week on cat food and also… if Chris would date a single mother.

The Christmas questions we’re answering:

How much is too...

 In the last 13 months, I’ve had my fourth baby. 

I attempted to run a marathon but only got through 30km because I was so anemic.

Turns out I had bowel cancer and didn’t realise it.

Since then, I’ve had bowel surgery and three months of chemotherapy.

And now… I’m doing HYROX.

(With my husband who had a portion of his lung removed a year ago).

If that’s not encouragement that you can do ANYTHING, then I don’t know what is.

I’m not built a...

Today you’ll meet Jackie, one of my incredible clients who’s just finished 12 weeks of private coaching with me.

Her story isn’t about fat loss or fitting into jeans.

It’s about what happens when life hits you with the kind of pain you never see coming… and you decide you don’t want to live like this anymore.

After two heartbreaking miscarriages and a year she calls “the year from hell” Jackie hit rock bottom.

Her mental health crumbled, her panic attacks took weeks to recover from, and she realised som...

When I saw that Serena Williams was on Ozempic - I was shocked and honestly pretty upset.

I don’t care what people do to their own bodies, it’s their choice.

But it’s the messaging.

My daughter Harper is obsessed with tennis. She knows who Serena is, and ironically we use her as an example for Harper to eat her veggies and dinner to get healthy and strong.

So just what are we teaching our kids now? If one of the most decorated athletes needs a fat loss injection to fee...

Cancer is becoming more frequent for people under the age of 40.

You already know my story - a  fitness and nutrition coach who is SO specific about what goes in my body and yet I was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer earlier this year.

In July this year, Sami - a fit and healthy personal trainer who was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer, and told by her doctors that she was inoperable.

I wanted to get Sami on the podcast to share her own story, what her life was like before, the s...

In a world where bad news is so easy to consume, and we spend more time on our phones than we do moving our bodies or being with our loved ones.. It’s not surprising that our mental health is suffering.

But did you know that moving your body for just 10 minutes a day can have a huge impact on your mental well being?

Joining me on today’s episode is Sophie Scott, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Sydney, an award-winning broadcast journalist, as well as a TedX speaker. Sophie is passionate about ment...

Yes, I really did find a pair of leopard print panties in my room.

No, they weren’t mine.

And yes, I asked EVERY woman in my life if they belonged to her.

Write a comment wherever you listen and let me know if you believe him or not after listening…

We’re also talking about a million other things like:

Why a bag of chips nearly turned into the fight of the year

The one thing I wear to bed that Chris swears is killing the mood<...

The food industry doesn’t care about your health.

They just want your money.

And unfortunately, most of us are too busy trying to keep our lives in order and keep falling prey to their marketing.

But not you.

Today I’m talking about the biggest health food lies going around as well as providing you with options that are way cheaper AND healthier. 

You’ll find out:

What to feed your kids for breakfast to help them focus better at school (and prevent the dreaded afternoon crashes...

Everyone thinks they know Bec Judd.

But do they?

She’s been judged on her weight forever, called a WAG, slammed for living in a “mansion in Brighton”… and yet she’s still here with four kids including twins and 20 years in the spotlight.  So how does she deal with it all? 

Today Bec and I are chatting about the stuff you might not know about her: from the chaos of having twins, the trolling that made her turn off her IG comments for years, and how she actually keeps her marriage spicy after two de...

Have you ever handed over the iPad just so you could have a moment in peace… and then wondered what it’s really doing to your kids?

Are meltdowns actually coming about because of screen time? Or is it something deeper?

Is two hours of “approved” screen time still too much?

What’s happening to our kids’ brains when they can’t sit in the car without a device?

And what damage are we doing long term if social media is raising our teenagers more than we are?

This week I’m sitti...

I used to hate my body.I’d stand in the mirror, pick myself apart, and think if I could just get skinnier… THEN I’d finally be happy.

Sound familiar?

That way of thinking will never get you to where you want to be. It didn’t work for me as a ballet dancer in my 20s and it won’t work for you now.

So if you want to learn how to become confident, healthy, secure in yourself AND look great as a byproduct of that work… Then this one’s for you.

Have you ever wanted to know how much other people really spend on kids’ birthdays? Well today we’re talking about it.

And just when I thought this episode couldn’t get messier, Chris decided to tell me what he really thought about something… and I was NOT prepared for it. 

Today’s episode is one of your guys absolute favourites: our series where my husband Chris, and I answer all of your most unfiltered, raunchy, spicy, nosy questions because who doesn’t love hearing about how other families and couples do things.

If you want t...

If a product in the supermarket says 5 stars you’d think it would be the best choice for you, right? 

Today I’m joined by Mandy Sacher and we’re not talking about junk food today. 

We’re talking about the breads, wraps and even muesli bars that most people would think are healthy and great choices … but they’re filled with ingredients that are hurting us AND our kids. 

We’ll chat about:

The snacks that belong in the confectionary aisle 

Why the governments health rating system is broken

Have you ever caught your kids copying something you do…

and thought “Yikes, I didn’t mean to teach them that”?

Yep.

Same.

The unfortunate thing is that half the things our kids are learning from us, aren’t things we’ve explained to them. It’s the stuff we’re doing day-to-day that they’re picking up and copying without us even noticing. 

Until one day we go “hold on, who taught you that?”

So in today’s episode, I wanted to chat about some of the things you might be t...

If you’d told me at 27 what my life would look like at 40… I would never have believed you.

I was stuck in a toxic relationship, obsessed with how my body looked, and I didn’t want kids.

Fast forward to today and at time of recording I’m 5 days away from turning 40, a mum of 4, married to the most amazing man,I run a business that teaches women (and men) how to nourish and love their bodies, I’m in the middle of chemotherapy and you know what?

I’m feeling more grateful, mo...

This episode almost didn’t happen because we had a domestic about dinner… but here we are 😂

Today I’m back on the couch with my fifth child (aka husband) Chris Duncan, and we’re sorting your sh*t out. Or trying to. In between the chaos, arguments and sex life negotiations. 

This is a segment where you send in your anonymous dilemmas and we provide our best/controversial (?) advice. If you want your question answered next time, make sure to send me a DM over on IG @thefigure_ or follow and wait for the next anonymo...

You sent in your questions… and today I’m giving you unfiltered answers.

From how I sleep trained FOUR kids (yes even the twins), to what I pack for food when travelling with toddlers, this episode covers everything.

I’m chatting about parenting, food, business, husbands eating KFC and yes - why I still dye my hair even after being diagnosed with cancer.

If you’ve ever looked at someone’s habits and thought “but they eat like crap and never get sick… how does that work?” Well, I’m answering that too.

You’ll hear...

If you’ve ever looked at your skin, your period, your mood or your bloat and wondered what is going on with my body… Then this one’s for you.

After being diagnosed with cancer, I started questioning everything.

My skincare, my shampoo, my perfume, my cleaning products. 

And if I’m completely honest, it’s sent me down a rabbit hole I can’t unsee.

So today, I brought in the big guns: Nat Kringous - Australia’s go-to hormone expert, best selling author and founder of The Pagoda Tree. 

Nat has wo...

If you think cancer would be the thing that slows me down…

You don’t know me very well.

I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May but instead of curling into a ball and asking “why me?” I did what I always do.

I got back up. And I kept going.

Today I’m talking about how I’m staying positive even though I’m going through one of the hardest moments in my life.

You’ll hear:

How I still managed to go to the gym the morning...

I saw a post on IG the other day… a dietician recommending ultraprocessed foods for children.

Guys, I’ve said this before and I’m going to keep saying it. This… is not good enough.

This isn’t just about a fish finger and a piece of white bread. It’s about the messaging we’re giving parents. That’s ‘its good enough.’ 

But if we want our kids to thrive and not just survive… we have to do better.

So today I’m showing...

If you had told me last time Chris was on the poddy that I would:

Have been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer when we thought I was just anemic

Have to stop breastfeeding London

Be starting chemotherapy (for 3 months!)

Have gone viral for the whole thing on social media (and have since done so many interviews…)

I wouldn’t have believed you.

So today’s episode is a much needed, much overdue catch up with my husband Chris Duncan to chat about everything that’s happened since

<...

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll do it when things calm down”... please, listen to this first.

When I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May - I was shocked to say the least.

I’m one of the healthiest people I know. 

I train. I eat clean. I don’t smoke. I don’t binge drink. I make my own bloody sourdough.

I spoke about it on Instagram and since then, my social media has blown up.

I’ve been on the news, interviewed by BIG companies, and answering tho...

We’ve been told juice is healthy… but most of what’s sitting on supermarket shelves is more sugar water than fruit.

In this episode, I’m joined by the founders of Nectar Cold Pressed, two mums (Jacinta and Kym) who got fed up with juice that has little nutritional value and decided to do something about it.

So if you’ve ever been confused by juice labels or wondered if juice has any place in a healthy lifestyle… this one’s for you.

And yes, I do let my kids drink this one.

St...

How do we actually raise kind, respectful and confident kids without smacking, screaming or alternatively… letting them walk all over us?

Because the truth is - most of us don’t want to raise our kids the way we were brought up. But most of us also don’t know what the alternative looks like when you have a 3 year old screaming and a 6 year old giving you the attitude of a teenager.

So in today’s episode, Courtney from The Parenting Edit (@theparentingedit) is joining us to talk about how we can discipline our kids whi...

Most people give up right before it becomes easier.

This is actually an episode I recorded a little while ago, because I was in surgery when I needed to record. 

But honestly, with everything going on… It’s more relevant than ever.

So if you heard my recent update and want to make sure that you’re doing everything in your power to stay healthy for your family and your grandchildren, then this episode will help you get through the tough days when you want to do anything but.

If you want to...

No family history. No obvious symptoms. Just a gut feeling that something wasn’t right.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I found out I had bowel cancer, the signs I missed along the way and why this has been brewing since I was a child.

Guys, this is why we have to stop giving our kids ultra processed foods.

If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app Fit By The Figure or sign up for coaching.

Two months after finishing 58 marathons, in 58 days, in 58 states, Lachlan Stuart is back on the podcast to tell us everything that went down. From the mental struggle that happened when he got injured at the VERY start of his journey, as well as the scary moment that made him think he might be the next ‘missing person’ in a small U.S town…

The reason this episode is so important is not because we’re trying to motivate you to run 58 marathons. This is about the conversations we have with ourselves when nobody is watching, and why THOSE ar...

This episode is a public service announcement…

Because if I see one more “weight loss tips” post from a mum’s group, I’m going to lose my mind.

Weight does NOT equal fat loss.

There, I said it.

The scales are lying to you. The industry is confusing the hell out of you. And half the advice out there on social media is setting you up to fail.

So let’s talk about how to lose fat, and lose it FOR GOOD.

In this episode, I’m joined again by @aidan_the_dietitian, and this time we’re tackling the truth about seed oils. This isn’t another ‘everything is toxic’ fear mongering episode, this is a real researched and genuinely helpful conversation about what seed oils actually are, how they’re made, where they show up in our food and whether you should be worried.

You want to feel better, look better, have more energy, be the best mum, wife, woman.

As you know I’m a mum of four, I run a business, I’m training and sweating most days. Like many of you I want to take care of my skin but I don't have time for a 20 step 2 hour routine … 

So this week I sat down with Antipodes Skincare founder Elizabeth Barbalich about whether we actually need the 20 step routines and why understanding your hormones could be the game changer that finally fixes your skin. 

Elizabeth wanted a non-toxic household for her children. She studied natural health and scou...

I made a reel, it blew up and people came for me.

Including one particular follower who blocked me, posted about me on her stories, and was quite frankly, way too snarky.

It was all about the 6 foods that I wouldn’t eat again, which you can watch here.

Now guys, you don’t have to be a nutritionist to learn what is good for you and what you shouldn’t be putting in your body. That’s why I make this podcast - to put the power ba...

Every time I post about kids’ nutrition, the internet seems to lose its mind.

I’m accused of fear mongering, not having adequate qualifications (I do btw), and just general keyboard warrior nonsense.

So I thought – what better than to bring on a Paediatric Dietician?

Today I’m sitting down with Karina Savage, who has over 23 years clinical experience (and 10 years in a children’s hospital) to chat about exactly that.

We’re covering:

There are a lot of coaches at the moment telling you that you can eat ANYTHING you like - as long as you’re in a calorie deficit or the macros stack up. 

And the next time you see one of these … mentally, tell them to f**k off. 

Because although calories are important they are NOT the only thing you should be focusing on..

Today I’m telling you: 

Welcome back to Sort Your Shit Out with Danni and Chris!

This is our new segment (if you want more, we have a Spotify series playlist here) where you ask us questions and we give you our completely unfiltered thoughts and NOTHING is off limits.

Today’s questions are:

Trolls love to come for us online.

So today, Bailey and I are reading out the most unhinged hate comments we’ve ever received and reacting to them in real time.

 From ridiculous takes on weight loss to people losing their minds over what we eat, we’re setting the record straight and having a bloody good laugh while we do it.

What are some of the wildest comments you’ve seen online?

If you want more of Bailey, head ov...

There is A LOT of conflicting advice out there around breastfeeding.

“Breastfeeding make the weight just fall off”

“Breastfeeding is NOT a time to focus on losing weight”

“You can eat whatever you want when breastfeeding + you NEED to increase your calories”

Okay… but which one is it?

So if you’re feeling lost and wondering if you’re eating enough, eating too much, or why your body isn’t “bouncing back”… this is the episode you need.

Stick around to...

It’s that time again!

Today my husband Chris Duncan is back on the couch and we are answering more of your guys’ most unhinged and controversial questions.

We’re almost at the end of January, and according to stats, this is the time most people give up on their New Year’s goals. But not you. Not this year.

In this episode, I’m diving into why most resolutions fail (spoiler: it’s not because you’re lazy) and how to turn things around if you’ve already fallen off track. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, or just unmotivated, I’ll show you how to reset and start making progress that actually sticks.

If you’re sick of ‘diets’ that don’t work or confused by all of the conflicting information out there, this episode is for you. 

This week I’m joined by Aidan Muir aka @aidan_the_dietician and we are going to be busting some of the biggest nutrition myths. 

Aidan has been a dietician since 2016 and works with clients ranging from athletes to those managing complex conditions. I’ve personally followed him for years and love the way that he breaks down nutrition into content that is easy to understand...

What happens when I sit down with Chris and answer your anonymous questions?

Chaos.

Absolute chaos.

Welcome to our new series ‘Sort Your Life Out with Chris & Danni!’

You guys absolutely love when Chris comes onto the show, so we thought we’d start up a new series where we sit down on the couch and answer your ANONYMOUS questions.

The best part? NOTHING is off limits.

So if you’re wondering how we’d...

How many times have you set a New Year’s resolution, gone all in for three weeks, and then completely dropped off?

You’re not alone, and honestly… Resolutions suck.

That’s why this week, I’ve brought on Helena, mindset coach, author and goal setting pro, to show you a better way. Helena and I are diving into the real reasons why most people fail before reaching their goals, and how you can finally set goals that stick.

If you’re done with quick fixes...

“I’ll start fresh on January 1st!” (but it never really sticks)

“I want to lose weight, but I always end up giving up…”

“I just feel stuck in the same habits”

If you’ve ever had those thoughts then this episode is exactly what you need.

But before we dive headfirst into setting MORE big goals, we need to take a second to reflect. 

Why? 

Because if 2024 wasn’t what you wanted it to be, there’s a reason…...

We talk about women’s mental health all the time, but what about the men in our lives? 

Let’s be honest… Many of them are struggling but don’t know how to ask for help.

This week, I’m joined by Lachlan Stuart, founder of The Man That Can Project and men’s performance coach, to help dive into what’s really going on with our men, and how we, as women, can support them without taking it all on ourselves. 

Oh and Lachlan is preparing to run 58 marath...

“There are just too many events…I feel like I’m eating and drinking non-stop…”

"I feel guilty taking time for myself when there’s so much to do."

"I’ll just wait until January to get back on track—it’s too hard now."

Christmas is the one time of the year when we let ourselves get completely derailed by the silly season.

But not this year.

In this episode I’m going to break down exactly how to enjoy the Christmas...

What if I told you that hypnosis could ALSO help you commit to your exercise or diet routine?

Last week, I got Tanja, an RTT Hypnotherapist on the show to chat about what hypnosis actually is (and no it’s not a swinging clock) and how can it help us to overcome stress, self doubt and negative habits… If you missed it, you can catch up on Spotify or Apple.

Guys, so much has happened since we had London… you wouldn’t believe it.

Today, your favourite guest (yes, my husband Chris) is back to talk about the terrifying health scare that’s turned our lives upside down over the past few months… and the BIG shock that hit just one day after London was born.

Tune into find out:

Ever wonder how I actually find the time to go to the gym, run a business, record podcasts, and even see friends… all while raising 4 kids? Spoiler: It’s not by putting myself last.

I know it’s all too easy to let yourself slip to the bottom of the priority list. But here’s the deal: when you take care of you, you’re actually taking better care of everyone else.

In this episode, I’m sharing the honest, no-BS reality of how I’m juggling my businesses, family, school...

In this episode, I sit down with a very special guest…

My mum, Dr. Julie Beuth, who’s been a GP for over 40 years.

I knew that by interviewing Mum, I’d have the opportunity to ask a GP the questions we all want answers to, and I know I’m going to get honest and blunt answers.

You probably guessed it, but yes we’re delving into one of the hottest topics in health right now: fat loss.

But it’s not just about quick fixes...

This is a question I get asked so often by my coaching clients.

The truth is… We are allowed to change our minds.

As we learn more about ourselves, our bodies, and our health, we are allowed to change our lifestyle and routines.

But sometimes, these changes can feel confrontational to our husbands, our families, and friends especially if it challenges how they live their own lives. 

Today’s episode is for you if you’re scared to make a change because of how...

Imagine being told that your body may never heal, that constant pain is the new normal, and that simple movements like picking up your kids, or even mopping the floor, would be a battle.

Meet Dani Nigido, a mum of four, small business owner, and absolute warrior who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic pain after having an emergency hysterectomy nine years ago. After searching for answers for years, Dani decided enough was enough. In this episode, Dani shares how she shifted her mindset, embraced movement, and discovered that there was more to life...

This is my most intense birth story yet, and I’m not holding anything back.

Getting caught up in the whirlwind of being a parent and putting yourself last can be so easy. But to enjoy being a mother, and enjoy this whole crazy experience, you have to start prioritising your own health, and well-being and start doing things that make you HAPPY.

You won’t. Not the...

Yep, you heard that right.

I used to suffer from chronic migraines and IBS.

But since I’ve started incorporating whole foods? Gone. I haven’t even had COVID.

There’s a scientific reason for that - and it’s not because you need to exercise harder.

Don’t get me wrong, exercising is an important part of weight loss but NOT in the way that you think. 

Let’s talk about it.

You’ll hear...

One of the biggest reasons so many women don’t get their incontinence or prolapses checked is that they’re scared of what’s going to happen in the consultation room.

But with a stat as high as 50% of women facing pelvic floor problems after pregnancy… We need to bust that myth immediately. 

Joining me on today’s episode is the incredible LJ Hargreaves, an Osteopath with over 11 years experience transforming people’s health. However, since having kids, LJ has taken a special interest in women’s health - dedicating her...

Marketing has led us to believe that self-care is ‘treating’ ourselves. 

It’s going to get a massage.

Getting a manicure.

Going to a hair appointment.

Dropping $$$ at your favourite clothing store.

Grabbing all your favourite snacks from the supermarket (I’m looking at your chocolate).

But then we wonder why we still feel so unfulfilled, and SO stressed when the high rubs off and we are left with our day-to-day lives.

It’s because we have been d...

When was the last time you invested in you?

Investing in yourself is easy when you know it comes with financial return. But can be SO hard to invest in yourself when the outcome isn’t tangible - or there is no direct outcome other than your mental health.

This episode is for everyone who gets so caught up in the grind that they completely forget to spend time investing in their own health, fitness and wellbeing. 

So how do you even begin to invest in yourself? In...

You ask, we answer.

You know what time it is - Chris Duncan is back and this time we’re talking all about our first pregnancy experience and giving advice. I don’t know if this is going to be good advice, or bad advice but in true Duncan style - it’s unfiltered.

You are NOT ready to hear Harper’s birthing story… We talk about:

💛 Why Chris was off eating MacDonalds when I went into labour

💛 The device that had me well and truly prepared f...

I’m getting heated in this episode.

Not only are doctors prescribing Ozempic left right and center but weight that is lost using these quick fixes comes RIGHT back.

So you’re skinny for what? 3 months? How is that going for you?

Tune into today’s episode to hear why Ozempic, Duromine, Keto, 75 Hard (the list goes on and on) WON’T help you achieve your goals. And you’ll end up with more weight than you started.

This episode is...

80% of New Year's Resolutions will fail before February 😱

If you’ve forgotten what your goals were or started strong but now you keep snoozing your alarm… OR you just feel EXHAUSTED, you aren’t alone.

But I’m here to remind you that life is TOO short to not chase your goals and dreams.

Join me on today’s episode because we’re giving ourselves a mid-year wake-up call. I’m going to tell you WHY most of these goals fail and four steps you can take to g...

Sorry Dad and Richard, you’re going to want to skip this one.

As of the date of recording this, I am officially 23 weeks and 3 days pregnant!

I am so, so excited but I was NOT expecting what was going to happen.

You would think after having Harper and the Twins I’d know exactly what I’d be in for this time around but this pregnancy is unlike any of my others … you won’t BELIEVE what is happening to my body and the nickname that Chris has created for me… 😩<...

Are you struggling with:

Fat loss?

Emotional regulation?

Muscle gain?

Memory consolidation?

Growth hormones?

Vaccination immunity?

These are just SOME of the aspects of your health that are affected by a poor night's sleep. Let’s talk about it.

Joining me on the show today is Sleep Coach, Carla from Ora Sleep Coaching. After having her own wake-up call when her father passed away unexpectedly, Carla sold her wellness studio and has since dedicated her time to st...

It turns out that Chris and I have been keeping SECRETS from each other, and it alllll comes out in this week's episode… Tune in to find out what happened and hear our reactions LIVE. 

On this week’s episode, I’ve brought back my husband, the one and only Chris Duncan to chat about why we ALWAYS put our relationship first and the effect this has on our children. 

I’m also surprising Chris with a quickfire round of YOUR questions… you don’t want to miss it because we are...

There are SO many things to look at on the back of any packaged foods, how do you know which ones to pay attention to? What is actually ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Are ‘Low Sugar’ and ‘Low Fat’ choices better for you?

You know that I’d always prefer you to be eating whole foods that don’t come from a packet but sometimes there are things (and days) that call for a packet. 

So this week I’m going to be talking to you about reading labels and how you can make sure you d...

95% of Diets Fail. And even more than that 80% of people that shift a significant amount of weight will NOT keep that off for 12 months following. 

Most people who come to work with me have usually done multiple fads or diets in the past, they’ve tried keto or a 28 day challenge and every time they might see a short term gain but they usually put it all back on .. in fact research also tells us that  most people who diet regain more than HALF of what they lost in the 2 years following. Crazy right.

Start today by looking at yourself in the mirror and asking “What Do I Want? And Why … And What Is that going to mean for me?” 

My client today Benn Precious asked himself that after his wife recommended reaching out to me for 1:1 training, Benn had been unhappy with how he looked since uni but with a busy job, 4 year old twins and not wanting to stop socialising he wasn’t sure where to start. 

Since working together Benn is down 7kgs, doubled the steps he does each day (without im...

A few weeks ago I posted a reel that blew up. It was titled “You are the reason your kid is a picky eater.” 

This post sparked a HUGE debate about what is right, what is wrong and who is really being held accountable for their children being picky eaters. Thalia Prum, a licensed Dietician who specialises in preventing and reversing picky eaters, responded to the reel with her own thoughts and from then I just KNEW I had to get her on the show.

On today’s episode, Thalia...

This week's episode is going to be a topic you either LOVE and you’re going to feel inspired by OR you might get frustrated by. 

Now if you get frustrated that is a GOOD thing, I want you to ask yourself ‘Why is this making me feel this way?’ and then what can I do next, because a lot of the time leaning into whatever is making you feel uncomfortable can elicit some really epic changes in your life. 

So many people say ‘I just can’t get motivated, I...

He’s back.

On today’s episode I have brought back EVERYBODY’s favourite… my husband Chris. Our first episode together went CRAZY and everyone has been begging for him to come back (yes, his ego has inflated a bit, thanks for noticing). 

Join us as we chat about our spicy adventures in the U.S (baby-making schedule anyone?), the gender reveal that went wrong and hear me get absolutely roasted by my husband. 

You’ll hear:

💛 All about Chris’s past and the question...

Do you have IBS OR are you just not eating enough wholefoods?

Joining me on today’s podcast is Dr Andrea Robertson, an Osteopath, Naturopath, Nutritionist, Business Owner AND Wellness Entrepreneur. What can’t she do?! While Dr Andrea has done many incredible things, she is currently focused on helping women over 35, END the cycle of dieting and use a simple, science-backed approach to lose weight AND keep it off.

This is such an important episode because not only is Andrea explaining to us EXACTLY what ultra-processed foods are doin...

Have you ever found yourself defining your personality by saying what you can’t do? 

“I’m not a morning person.” 

“I can’t function without coffee.”

“I’m not a runner.”

Are you ‘not a morning person’ because you ‘can’t be one’ or is it because you don’t want to be?

Are you ‘not a runner’, or have you simply not equipped yourself with the right tools to become one?

Well, I’m here to tell you that you can do literally anyth...

Have you considered what life will be like for you when you're 70 or 80 years old?

Will you be able to pick up your grandkids? Will you even be able to climb the stairs?

Maybe you’re chronically exhausted and have just accepted that ‘that’s just life.’

Well, I can promise you that there is so much more to life and SO much more energy available to you - but it involves choosing your hard.

On the pod today, I have t...

Pregnancy is one of the most rewarding and beautiful experiences a woman can experience… and yet it can also be one of the most traumatic.

When I tell you that I have had my fair share of trauma in life, I’m not kidding. But it’s not all dark and gloomy.

When I was going through one of the toughest times in my life, I was sending wine memes to my girlfriends every day.

“What’s for dinner? Wine!”

“I don’t need a knife and fork for dinner, I’ve got a glass!”

I wanted them to validate my actions. I wanted them to say “You’re going through something terrible… have a glass of wine!”

When in reality, I needed someone to tell me to put the bottle down and go for a walk. Have some...

You see the couple's challenges, the fruit mince pies and the witty banter now but where did the relationship all begin?

When I put a question box up to ask what people wanted to see from the podcast SO many of you replied Chris Duncan, and then when I asked what you wanted to hear from the man, the myth, the legend you all replied that you wanted to hear “THE STORY”

So in today’s episode that’s exactly what you’re getting. We go right back to the beginn...
