  • What I’ve Changed Since Being Diagnosed with Bowel Cancer

    What I’ve Changed Since Being Diagnosed with Bowel Cancer
    Jul 2 2025
    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 thousands of questions from women asking what they need to change. So today we’re diving into exactly that: everything I’ve changed and everything I’ve kept the same since being diagnosed with cancer. You’ll hear: What I feed my kids and what I refuse to let them eat The years of “damage” I didn’t realise I was doing in my twenties Why your stress might be worse than your sugar The part of my lifestyle that shocked my doctor What health means to me now + what I think people are STILL getting wrong And the new rules I’m living by… even if they make people uncomfortable Download my recipe books: Baby and Toddler recipe book here.

    Why I Let My Kids Drink This Juice (But Not the Others)
    Jun 25 2025
    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. Stick around to find out: What “reconstituted juice” actually means (and why you don’t want it in your fridge) The sneaky reason supermarket juice doesn’t need to be refrigerated Whether cold-pressed juice is worth the hype (and the price tag) How much actual carrot goes into one bottle of juice — the answer will shock you And what I give my kids (and what I don’t) … and SO much more If you want Nectar Cold Pressed juice in your lives, then head over to www.nectarcoldpressed.com.au and use DANNI20 at the checkout for 20% off when you buy 2 boxes or more.

  • How Do We Raise Our Kids Without F*cking Them Up with Parent Educator Courtney @theparentingedit

    How Do We Raise Our Kids Without F*cking Them Up with Parent Educator Courtney @theparentingedit
    Jun 18 2025
    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 while still giving them the freedom to be, well, kids. You’ll learn: What to do when you’re kid won’t listen and you’re one second away from losing your sh*t How to set boundaries without feeling like a b*tch OR a pushover What to say instead of bribing your toddler with a lolly to get in the pool (guilty) Why their meltdowns aren’t actually about you, and what they really need in those moments What to say when your daughter is talking back and you just want to say ‘because I said so!’ How to regulate yourself when you’re exhausted and completely over it … and SO much more Want more of Courtney? Visit her on IG @theparentingedit or work with her over at www.theparentingedit.co. And if you want to see if working with Courtney will help you and your kids, then you can book a free call with her here. Want glowy skin without the 10-step routine?

  • What to Tell Yourself When You Want to Give Up ft Marathon Runner Lachlan Stuart

    What to Tell Yourself When You Want to Give Up ft Marathon Runner Lachlan Stuart
    May 28 2025
    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 are moments that you’ll look back on the most. We’re chatting about: What he told himself on the days he didn’t want to run How much money he raised for The Mental Awareness Foundation The question that snapped him out of his quitting spiral (and how you can use it too) Why some of the biggest mental breakthroughs happen after you’ve completed the goal The surprising revelation Lachie had mid trip when he thought everything was falling apart Why you keep falling short of some goals … and SO much more If you missed our first conversation listen to it next over on Spotify, Apple or YouTube.

    May 21 2025
    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. Stick around to find out: The one thing all the diets have in common that you can incorporate into your life without being miserable Why eating healthy, might be keeping you overweight (you read that right) How to stop sabotaging yourself and eat the damn pizza What actually works long term (and it’s not your friend’s shake diet) … and SO much more Want to learn more about macros?
