Life With Danni Duncan

TBC Studios

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.

    “You came out crying and everyone was silent…” Chris’ Side of My Bowel Cancer Diagnosis

    In honour of Bowel Cancer awareness, I wanted to chat to Chris about his side of the story when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Cancer back in August last year. But in classic Duncan fashion, of course it’s not all doom and gloom 😂 We’re also talking about how hard being gluten free has been for Chris, mental breakdowns before 40, and why it’s so hard for men to go to the doctor. Is your husband like this too?? Submit your questions for our next episode of Sort Your Sh*t Out! Send them to me @danni.duncan_ or Chris over on @chrisduncan7 If you’re over 45, you can grab a free bowel cancer screening kit here. If you're under 45 and you really want to get yourself checked, the Jodi Lee Foundation is selling them here.

  2. Finding Yourself Again After Motherhood, Burnout and Midlife with Colleen Callander

    Finding Yourself Again After Motherhood, Burnout and Midlife with Colleen Callander

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re too busy, too tired, too old, too unsure, or too deep in motherhood to chase something for yourself, this episode is going to feel like a biiiiig exhale. Today I’m chatting with the beautiful Colleen Callander. She was the CEO of Sportsgirl, she’s a mum, an author, a speaker, and honestly just one of those women who makes you feel like you can do big things too. She has sooo much wisdom around confidence, backing yourself, burnout, motherhood, ageing, and building a life that actually feels like yours. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to stop waiting until you feel ready, start trusting yourself a little more, and remember that you are absolutely not done yet. In this episode, we chat about: > Why so many women wait until they feel “ready” before they do the thing, and how confidence actually comes from having a go > That horrible little voice in your head telling you you’re too old, too young, not good enough, or everyone else is doing it better > How motherhood can make you lose yourself a little bit, and why wanting something for yourself does not make you a bad mum > What burnout looked like for Colleen at 36, and the changes she had to make so she could actually feel like herself again > How to stop comparing yourself to everyone else > Why life after 50 can be bloody exciting!! If you want to connect with Colleen, you can find her on Linkedin here, or on IG @colleen_callander Visit her website www.colleencallander.com.au If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app FIT by Danni Duncan or sign up for coaching.  I also share all of my health and fitness tips over on IG @danni.duncan_ so if you want more, make sure you join me over there.

  3. What mums need to know before trying Ozempic with Amelia Phillips

    What mums need to know before trying Ozempic with Amelia Phillips

    Who should avoid Ozempic? Who is Ozempic for? What are the side effects no one is talking about? Today’s episode is Part 2 of my interview with Amelia Phillips, a nutritionist, exercise scientist and co-founder of Vitality 360, to help us unpack Ozempic, GLP-1 medications and what women in midlife really need to know before considering them. In Part 1 we spoke about what actually changes in perimenopause, why weight can feel harder to shift, how much of it is hormones versus lifestyle, fasting, protein, and the very inconvenient truth that yes… calories still matter. BUT we ran out of time right as we were about to get into the stuff everyone has questions about. So today we’re talking about Ozempic, GLP-1 medications, healthy fats, longevity, and what a 3-step plan could look like if you’re a woman in midlife who wants to lose weight without losing your mind. If you want to listen to my first convo with Amelia, you can check it out on Spotify or Apple.

  4. Recording from a bath & dealing with our own sh*t (with Em Chadbourne)

    Recording from a bath & dealing with our own sh*t (with Em Chadbourne)

    We recorded this from a bath in Bali…  Em and I have just wrapped my 8th retreat and are equal parts cooked, sweaty and ready to unpack everything that happened. What started as chaos (and a few random tangents) turned into some pretty honest chats about why people hold themselves back, why everything feels so hard, and what needs to change so that people can start being happy again. Also… if you’ve ever been personally victimised by chocolate, other people’s opinions, or Bali humidity… you’ll feel seen. I’ve also already locked in the next two retreats, so if you’re sitting there thinking “I need something like this”... come. 2026 Byron Bay Retreat is here, 2027 Bali Retreat is here.

  5. Waiting for this phone call was the worst hour of my life

    6 May

    Waiting for this phone call was the worst hour of my life

    I got a phone call a few weeks ago and as someone who used to work in a doctors clinic - it’s never a good sign to get a phone call before the weekend. Genuinely - I was watching my kids and thinking I wouldn’t see them grow up. — If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app FIT by Danni Duncan or sign up for coaching.  I also share all of my health and fitness tips over on IG @danni.duncan_ so if you want more, make sure you join me over there.

  6. What 5 Kids Taught a 7x Olympian About “Having it Together” 😂 ft Libby Trickett

    What 5 Kids Taught a 7x Olympian About “Having it Together” 😂 ft Libby Trickett

    Does a 7 time Olympian have their life and motherhood together? This is one of the first questions I asked, Libby Trickett. I’m sure she needs no explanation but just in case - Libby is an ex competitive swimmer who was a gold medalist in not one but THREE Olympics, and held the world record for the 100m free style.  We’re chatting about everything, including why being an Olympian does not mean you have your life together, what it’s like going from being the best in the world, to living a normal life, and what she’s seeing happening too often with kids and sport right now (this part’s really interesting). We chat about: > “What did we even do before kids?” because somehow there was SO much time and now there’s none > Libby’s morning routine with 5 kids > Getting five kids out the door in the morning (and how that that alone feels like a huge win) > The devastating race Libby didn’t watch for 15 years… and what happened when she finally did > The shift in your 40s where you genuinely don’t give a f about what other people think of you  > That feeling of “am I even doing a good job?” (and why it doesn’t just go away) > Why we’re seeing less “body trust” in women + how that all links back to kids not moving as much … and SO much more If you want more of Libby you can follow her on IG @libby_trickett.

  8. Who decides if you’re a runner or not? The most incredible things Anna Liptak has experienced in 42 marathons (and counting)

    Who decides if you’re a runner or not? The most incredible things Anna Liptak has experienced in 42 marathons (and counting)

    A few weeks ago, Chris and I announced that we’re running the New York Marathon… and it still feels slightly ridiculous to say out loud. Because if you had told me years ago that running would become such a big part of my life, I wouldn’t have believed you. And I know a lot of you listening probably feel the same. “I’m not a runner.” That’s exactly why I wanted to have this conversation. Today I’m joined by Anna from Adventure Time Travel, who has run more than 40 marathons all over the world and helped thousands of people cross finish lines they once thought were completely out of reach. If you’ve ever wondered whether running a marathon is something you could do, what it feels like to finish the New York Marathon and what kind of changes lie ahead for you… Then this is for you. Stick around to find out: > Why so many people tell themselves they’re “not a runner”… and what actually changes when that story shifts > What it feels like standing on the start line of a marathon for the first time > The moments during a race that stay with you long after you cross the finish line > What goes through your head when things get hard… and how people keep going > What Anna has seen in thousands of runners once they finally say yes to something that scares them > What she would say to you if you’ve ever thought about running a marathon… but haven’t signed up yet If you want to hear more from Anna, you can find her on IG @annaliptakruns or @hisandhertime.
