    Jul 5 2024

    Strap in and hold onto your hats—Jamie and Dan are at it again in this cracker of an episode

    This time, they're chatting about the eight essentials for a smashing life.

    • Healthy Lifestyle: Why eating greens and dodging kebabs might just save your bacon.
    • Supportive Community: It's not about finding people who will bail you out of jail; it's finding those who will join you in the cell!
    • Family and Friends: Because who else will honestly tell you when you’ve got spinach in your teeth?
    • Financial Stability: Money might not buy happiness, but it sure pays for the yacht to sail you there.
    • Meaningful Work: Finding the job that makes you want to jump out of bed (and not just because your alarm clock is obnoxious).
    • Adventures and Experiences: Because life’s too short for always watching telly and doing the washing up.
    • Reflection and Creativity: Sometimes, you’ve got to sit quietly and realise… yes, perhaps you did need a receipt for that.
    • Having Fun: Remember, laughing at yourself counts as abdominal exercise!

    And here’s the icing on the cake: our upcoming 100th episode on the horizon!

    Jamie and Dan are fishing for your barmiest ideas on celebrating this belter of a milestone.

    They dive into their own cringe-worthy tales of trying to do it all alone, and the face-palming moments that followed.

    Plus, they remind us all to not just take help, but to give it freely—turning every thank you into a chance to pay it forward.

    So, if you’ve ever felt like a lone wolf or struggled to reach out, this episode will be your guide to becoming a gratitude-filled, help-accepting champion.

  • The Body and The Beast Ep90- BIRTHDAY BEAST
    Jun 14 2024

    It's Dan's birthday, and in this episode, we stroll down memory lane, reflecting on a year chock-full of growing older but not necessarily up.

    They dive into the art of gracefully accepting the ungraceful aspects of ageing and uncover the secret joys of embracing the odd creak and wrinkle.

    Our daring duo shares the wisdom of 'thinking gargantuan'—why settle for small growth when you can aim for a 10x leap?

    They advocate for the underestimated power of admitting 'I don't know' and the strategic finesse needed to 'stack the decks'—because sometimes life is just a fancy card game, and you need that ace up your sleeve!

    Ever thought of saying 'yes' more? According to our hosts, that’s the golden ticket to never-ending opportunities.

    Remember, it’s not just about the destination but also the merry misadventures you have along the way.

    Key takeaways include:

    1. Say 'yes' like your life depends on it, and stack those decks like a Vegas pro.
    2. Build your personal board of directors with folks who’ve got the smarts.
    3. Ditch the Debbie Downers and ride the waves with the Sunny Sallies.
    4. Keep it light, keep it fun—nobody gets out of here alive anyway.
    5. Value your mates and family; they’re your crew in the grand voyage of life.

  • The Body and The Beast Ep88- THE ONE ILLNESS TO AVOID...
    May 31 2024

    Welcome to this episode of “The Body and the Beast,” where we dive headfirst into the murky waters of “comparisonitis”—the sneaky bug that has everyone secretly convinced their neighbour’s grass is, like, the greenest ever.

    Today, we dissect the perils of scrolling through highlight reels on social media that leave you feeling like your life is a series of unglamorous outtakes.

    Our chat explores the dark art of assuming everyone else has their act together, the critical art of actually listening (not just waiting to talk), and why understanding the whole saga behind someone’s ‘perfect’ life is crucial before you cast yourself as the perpetual sidekick in your own story.

    We’re spilling our tales of envy and the ah-ha moments from realising that hard work and discipline are not just for show-offs on Instagram. We discuss how consistency is your not-so-secret weapon and why those limiting beliefs are about as useful as a chocolate teapot.


    Strap in for a rollercoaster ride of insights and, let’s face it, some good old-fashioned venting, all designed to arm you with the tools to quit the comparison game and start focusing on your own highlight reel.
