    F*ck, Let’s End the Year on Purpose! with Shannah Kennedy

    EPISODE 16: F*ck, Let’s End the Year on Purpose! with Shannah Kennedy ---------------------- In this episode of F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!, I’m joined (again!) by the brilliant Shannah Kennedy - master coach, best-selling author, queen of clarity and the most listened-to guest on the podcast so far. Back by popular demand and in person, Shannah is here to help us close out the year with intention, not exhaustion. We talk about how to actually feel good at the end of the year (instead of dragging ourselves to the finish line), why you need stillness more than another strategy, and how to build a 2026 that reflects you - not just your to-do list. ✨ And if you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, stuck in people-pleasing, or putting yourself last - this one’s for you. ---------------------- This episode gets into: 🧘‍♀️ Why stillness isn’t indulgent - it’s essential 💭 How to reflect on 2025 without spiralling into what you didn’t do 📅 The 3 things to ask yourself before the year ends 🥵 Why “busy” is burning you out and what to do instead 💫 How to reset your nervous system in 5 minutes (yes, in the car park counts!) 📈 How to plan a values-aligned 2026 that feels like a “f*ck yes” 🫶 Why midlife isn’t a crisis - it’s a reset Shannah helped me redefine what success looked like after selling WiTH Collective. She helped me stop reacting to life and start designing it - based on what actually matters to me: health, family happiness, pleasure, adventure, and fun. Now, she’s back to remind all of us: ✨ Clarity isn’t a luxury - it’s a tool. ✨ You don’t need a meltdown to make a change. ✨ Stillness is the place where real decisions come from. ---------------------- MYTH-BUSTING MINI-ROUND with Shannah Kennedy: ❌ “Burnout is just part of being successful.” ❌ “You need to hit rock bottom to reinvent.” ❌ “Saying no makes you selfish.” ❌ “Planning ruins spontaneity.” ❌ “If you’re not busy, you’re falling behind.” ---------------------- 🎯 The “Try This Before 50” Challenge Last time, Shannah dared us to define our values and start saying no to the things draining us. This time? She’s taking us even deeper… If you’ve been meaning to stop, reflect, reset - or even just breathe - this episode is your invitation to do it. Because f*ck, we’re nearly 50 and isn’t it amazing when we give ourselves permission to do it differently? ---------------------- 🌐 Learn more: shannahkennedy.com 📲 Follow Shannah: @shannahkennedy 🎧 Listen now: https://fckimnearly50.buzzsprout.com 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FckImnearly50 Let me know what you'd love to hear about next. 🔥 Let’s keep the conversation going! 🔥 📺 Watch the episodes on YouTube – Subscribe here! 💬 Join the community – Follow me on Instagram @fckimnearlyfifty and share your thoughts on this episode.

    F*ck, I’m Building a Legacy! with Colin Jowell

    EPISODE 15: F*ck, I’m Building a Legacy! with Colin Jowell ---------------------- In this episode of F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!, I sit down with my old agency mate and all-round legend Colin Jowell, founder of BillWill, a platform helping people capture and share what truly matters before it’s too late. From late nights pitching at Y&R to building a business about legacy, love, and life admin, Colin’s story is a brilliant reminder that the things we leave behind aren’t always the big things. They’re the small ones - the quirks, the dad jokes, the memories, and the kindness that linger long after we’re gone. We talk about losing his dad and how that changed everything, the unexpected complexity of modern life (and death), and why legacy isn’t about money or milestones but the connections we make and the stories we leave. Colin unpacks the three dimensions of legacy - financial, practical, and personal - and how a little bit of organisation today can save your family hours of pain tomorrow. This conversation is funny, confronting, deeply human, and surprisingly uplifting. It’s not really about death - it’s about how to live better now. So if you’ve ever thought, “I should really get my shit sorted,” this one’s for you. ---------------------- This episode gets into: 💬 How losing his dad led to the creation of BillWill 🧠 Why we avoid talking about death (and how to reframe it) 💸 The three dimensions of legacy - financial, practical, and personal ⚡️ The hidden chaos of our digital lives (and who pays the power bill when you’re gone) ❤️ How small details - humour, quirks, and kindness - become our real legacy 📲 How tech and behavioural science can help us live with more clarity 🌅 What it means to live with purpose, connection, and fearlessness at midlife ---------------------- Colin brings honesty, warmth, and wit to a conversation that makes you think about life, loss, and what really matters - without losing the laughs. If you’ve been meaning to sort your stuff out, write that note to your kids, or just live with a little more intention, hit play. Because f*ck, we’re nearly 50 and isn’t it amazing when we realise it’s not too late to start living on our own terms? ---------------------- 🌐 Learn more: billwill.com.au 📲 Follow Colin: linkedin.com/in/colinjowell 🎧 Listen now: https://fckimnearly50.buzzsprout.com 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FckImnearly50 📲 Follow along: https://www.instagram.com/fckimnearlyfifty Let me know what you'd love to hear about next. 🔥 Let’s keep the conversation going! 🔥 📺 Watch the episodes on YouTube – Subscribe here! 💬 Join the community – Follow me on Instagram @fckimnearlyfifty and share your thoughts on this episode.

    F*ck, I've still got it! with Shane Watson

    EPISODE 14: F*ck, I’ve Still Got It! with Shane Watson ------------------------- In this episode of F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!, I sit down with cricketing legend turned mindset coach Shane Watson, or Watsy, as I know him. From smashing sixes in front of packed stadiums to coaching in the IPL, from slow-cooked brisket marathons to school sport sidelines, Watsy’s story is about more than cricket. It’s about pressure, perfectionism, failure, freedom, and why the second act might just be the best one yet. We dive into what it really takes to walk away from a career that defined you, how he built BEON Performance to help others master the inner game, and the surprising parallels between a World Cup final and cooking meat for a pack of hungry kids. This isn’t just for sports fans. It’s for anyone standing on the edge of change, asking “what now?” ------------------------- This episode gets into: 🏏 The mindset spirals of elite sport and how Watsy learned to shut them down 🔥 Walking away from cricket (and rebuilding identity without the scoreboard) 💭 Why perfectionism nearly broke him and how he finally let it go 🥩 The life lessons of BBQ smoking, brisket fails, and hungry kids 🎙 How BEON Performance is changing the game for athletes, execs & everyday people 👨‍👩‍👧 Fatherhood, resilience, and teaching kids to bounce back from failure 🌅 Why Uluru is on his “Try This Before 50” list and should be on yours too ------------------------- Watsy brings honesty, discipline, and plenty of laughs to a conversation that will make you rethink pressure, purpose, and what it means to start again. Whether you’re battling burnout, building your next chapter, or just love a good story about tacos, junkets, and the lessons hidden in failure, this one’s for you. Hit play, back yourself, and remember: you’ve still bloody got it. 💥 ------------------------- 🌐 Learn more about BEON Performance: https://www.beonperformance.com/ 📖 Read Shane’s book Winning the Inner Battle: https://www.shanewatson.au/ 🌐 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanewatson33/ 📲 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/srwatson33/ ------------------------- Let me know what you'd love to hear about next. 🔥 Let’s keep the conversation going! 🔥 📺 Watch the episodes on YouTube – Subscribe here! 💬 Join the community – Follow me on Instagram @fckimnearlyfifty and share your thoughts on this episode.

We talk about: 🧠 Why ‘work-life balance’ is a load of crap 🏆 How success culture screws with your identity 🌊 The Sydney Skinny and what it means to really get out of your comfort zone 🎨 The joy of doing things you’re crap at (and doing them anyway) 💛 The power of family, chosen simplicity and not needing applause 🎁 The challenge he set me that you might just want to try too Nigel reminds us that midlife isn’t about maximising everything, it’s about subtracting what doesn’t matter so you can focus on what does.
