Life won’t wait - we get one shot - and you are in the driver's seat.  You can Do Hard Things.  I’m Danni Duncan…featured fitness and nutrition coach, author, speaker and mum of 4 amazing kiddies (including twins). Online I’ve shared it all, my pregnancy journeys, miscarriages, why you SHOULDN’T be eating cereal for breakfast, how to make the perfect sourdough and helping you to see that YOU can do hard things.  The things I’ve said online have often got me into a bit of trouble, and its because I’m not afraid to call people out on their shit … I’m not afraid to discuss taboo topics and I don’t believe that any of us need to live an average life where we do what society is telling us is ‘normal’ … instead its our job to question “Why is that normal?” And is that what we want for our own life?  This podcast is going to be a space where I chat to experts (and share my own thoughts) on WHY we aren’t living our full potential.  Where you can get the facts that will help you to get your happiness, motivation and confidence back.  Taking the first steps can be hard, but I’m here to help you make it a little easier to face your fears and live your best life - every, single, day.  I will make you feel uncomfortable, I will make you think differently but you may just wanna hear it.   If you want to make this year the year that you do something for yourself, you’re in the right space.

    Your Trigger Is Not My Problem: Emily Chadbourne On Trolls, Envy & Taking Up Space

    Emily Chadbourne is one of my closest friends, a life and mindset coach, and the person who tells me exactly what I need to hear. We’d just come back from our fourth retreat together, this one in Byron Bay, when we sat down to record. We get into the comments calling me fat phobic. I talk about why that one genuinely baffles me, I’ve never called someone fat on my page. Every time I’ve said the word, it’s been about fat loss in the context of health and strength, never aesthetics. We talk about what people actually hear versus what I’m actually saying, and why your reaction to someone else’s content usually says more about you than it does about them. I also read out a message I got this week from a woman who asked her gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy even though she had no symptoms, because of something I’d said online. They found precancerous polyps. Her gastroenterologist asked if her “influencer” happened to be me, turns out multiple of his patients have mentioned me. It’s one of the best messages I’ve ever received. We talk trolls, tall poppy syndrome, comparison, why women get punished for making money, and why I will never apologise for being proud of myself again. This one is raw, it’s real, and it’s one of my favourites. Find Em on Instagram for more of this energy.

    One Year Cancer Free. Now I’m Running New York.

    It's just me on the mic this week, three weeks out from the New York Marathon and I am an absolute mess with nerves and gratitude in equal measure! This exact week last year I got my clear scan results. No evidence of cancer. It makes me so emotional to say that out loud! One year on, as a proud ambassador for the Jodi Lee Foundation, together with the support of Anna Liptak from Adventure Time Travel, I’m about to do something I never thought would be possible: run the New York Marathon.  I tell you exactly how I found out, and the ridiculous moment I made Chris leave the room and come back in because his first reaction to my news was asking if he could come too. I also get real about what training looks like four months after Gold Coast, the long run that absolutely wrecked me on Sunday (and exactly why), and why age has never been less relevant to what my body can do. I also share why this race means so much more than a finish line, including two friends I’ve lost to bowel cancer and why early detection is the whole fight. We’re also raising money for the Jodi Lee Foundation with a raffle full of amazing prizes. Grab your raffle tickets here. A huge thank you to Anna Liptak and the team at Adventure Time Travel for making this whole trip possible.

    The Text That Turned Her Best Friend Into A Surrogate

    16 rounds of IVF.  Eight years.  And one text message that changed everything. Lisa Messenger is the founder of Collective Hub, the entrepreneurial brand she built from nothing in 2013, and one of the most fearless disruptors in business I know. She's written 40 books, shared the stage with Sir Richard Branson, and built something print insiders said was already dead into a brand distributed across 37 countries in eighteen months. But before we got into any of that, I wanted her motherhood story first. The 16 rounds. The excruciating two week waits. And the moment, completely run down after round 16, she texted her best friend Sarah asking if she'd still be her surrogate. Sarah's reply gave her full body shivers. It still does. We get into that whole journey, the heartbreak before the joy, what it actually means to reinvent a business more times than most people reinvent their wardrobe, and why she walked away from 36 staff to build a life with none. This episode left me speechless more than once. I think it'll do the same for you. Lisa has also gifted my community something seriously special. 30 days free inside Collective Hub, her membership and retreat world for founders and creatives.  Claim your 30 day free Collective Hub access here: https://members.collectivehub.com/checkout/life-with-danni-duncan Find Lisa on Instagram or via Collective Hub.

    She Cried In Her Office, Then Blew Up An Entire Industry

    Two weeks after having her second baby, Sally Grice sat in an important work meeting with one boob rock hard and engorged because her pump had failed her that morning. By the time the meeting ended, she was in agony. She ran to her office and broke down crying. Then she decided to build the pump herself. Sally is the founder of LACEVO, and the pump she built is the one I have used almost every day for the last two years. Including through chemo. This one is personal. We get into the industry secret that most women have been using the wrong nipple size for years, and how that "normal" pain and tissue damage was never actually normal. We talk oversupply, undersupply, donor milk, and why pumping and dumping deserves so much more respect than it gets. Sally also walks me through Empower, LACEVO's new red light therapy device for breast health, engorgement, scarring and even mastectomy recovery. And we get real about what it actually costs to build a business as a mum, the travel, the guilt, and why she is doing all of it so her kids see a mother who never stopped chasing her dream. I got emotional in this one. You might too.

    Sex After Kids: The Ferrari, The Corolla and The Truth

    Chris is back on the couch and this one goes places… You never know what you're going to get in one of our joint episodes 😂 We start with the woman who sh*t herself mid-way through a HYROX event and kept going anyway… before somehow ending up in a full blown debate about sex after four kids. Chris has also been dealing with his own health scare behind the scenes, a gastroscopy, a strict new diet, and getting banned from his beloved energy drinks. We get into what happens to your mood and motivation when your gut health goes sideways, and why he was genuinely "not himself" for weeks. Then we get into the real conversation. Why sex drive changes so dramatically after kids, why men and women experience desire so differently, and the theory Chris came up with comparing married life to going from a Ferrari to a Toyota Corolla. It did not land the way he hoped. We talk about appreciation as the missing link, the text message from three years ago that turned Danni on more than anything since, why men often need sex to feel loved while women need to feel loved to want sex, and yes, we get into exactly how often we're actually having it. On the record. Numbers and all. By the end we've agreed we need to get an actual sexologist on the podcast, because clearly we need help! 😂 If you want more of this energy online then follow us over on IG @‌danni.duncan_ @‌chrisduncan7 My final retreat of 2026 is coming up next month and there aren’t many spaces left!

    Connected 24/7 And Lonelier Than Ever

    We've never been more connected. A text, a voice drop, a scroll, and we know exactly what everyone in our life is doing without ever actually seeing them. So why, when it actually comes to showing up in person, committing to a night out, being in someone's presence, does it suddenly feel like the hardest ask in the world? That's the question I've been sitting with. And it came from something pretty humbling. Chris and I planned a trivia night in Melbourne to raise money for the Jodi Lee Foundation ahead of our New York Marathon. We were pumped. We throw a good night, always have. We sold four tickets. Four. Everyone said they were coming. Nobody actually committed. We had to cancel it. Turns out it's not just us. The Jodi Lee team told me events are hard right now. Everyone I've spoken to says the same thing, retreats, trivia nights, get-togethers, all getting cancelled because people just aren't showing up. So I started thinking about my parents. Monthly dinner parties. Getting dressed up. Actual hors d'oeuvres. Staying up late listening to the adults laugh through the wall. We don't do that anymore. And I don't think it's just busyness. I think we're socially burnt out, so wired into everyone's lives that we've mistaken being informed for actually being connected. I get into why I quit the news two years ago, the real upside of social media I'm not willing to throw out, and whether we've traded connection for the feeling of it. This one's more of a conversation starter than an answer. I want to know what you reckon. My final retreat of 2026 is coming up next month and there are just a few spaces left!

    2 out of 3 Women Get Dismissed By Their Own Doctor

    2 out of 3 Australian women report bias or discrimination in their own healthcare. Most of it around diagnosis and treatment. If you've ever left an appointment with more questions than answers, this episode is for you. My guest today is Dr Mariam Chaalan, a Sydney based GP, women's health advocate, and the doctor behind Instagram's Ask The Doctor. She also cohosts the Well by Mamamia Podcast. The second we met in person we didn't stop talking, because we see healthcare the exact same way. We get into why so many women are conditioned to shrink their symptoms in a fifteen minute appointment, the exact script to use so you walk out with an actual plan instead of just a script in hand, and the iron deficiency conversation every woman needs to have with her doctor (hint, it's not always your period). Dr Mariam also shares the story of a GP visit at four years old that made her furious enough to become a doctor herself, and why that moment still shapes the way she treats every single patient today. If you've ever been told it's nothing and walked away not quite believing it, get comfortable. This one's for you.

    "IBS Isn't Real": I Might Get Cancelled for This One

    This is the episode I told my own team I might get cancelled for, and I don't care. For twenty years, doctors told me I had IBS. Cramps so bad I thought labour couldn't be worse. Crawling into my mum's room as a kid, thinking something was actually wrong with me. Turns out something was. Pregnant with my fourth baby, that same "IBS" turned out to be a tumour. I'm in remission now. And since finishing chemo, my IBS hasn't just improved. It's gone. Vanished. Not managed, not "under control", gone. Bowel cancer is now up 260% in eighteen to forty five year olds. Once you see a number like that, you can't unsee it, and once you hear my story next to it, you'll understand exactly why I can't stop talking about this. So here's the question I'm not supposed to ask out loud: what if IBS isn't a diagnosis at all? What if it's just the label they give you when they've run out of answers, and your gut is drowning in the same ultra-processed b******t we've all been told is normal? I know how this sounds. I know "everything in moderation" is the thing you're about to type at me. Listen first, then tell me I'm wrong.
