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.

Stick around to find out: The link between screens, sleep and your child’s mood Why the hardest age for parents is also the most dangerous for kids What’s really going on when your child “loses it” after screen time The mistake most families make when trying to implement new screentime rules One small change you can make tonight that could change everything The future of technology and our kid’s mental health … and SO much more Want more of Dr. Grace Hancock?

Free Coaching Episode: Do you want to feel strong and love your body?
I used to hate my body.I’d stand in the mirror, pick myself apart, and think if I could just get skinnier… THEN I’d finally be happy. Sound familiar?

So if you want to learn how to become confident, healthy, secure in yourself AND look great as a byproduct of that work… Then this one’s for you. This is a sneak peek of what it’s like to work with me.

How I Got My Kids to be Excited About Eating Healthy and Moving Their Bodies
Have you ever caught your kids copying something you do… and thought “Yikes, I didn’t mean to teach them that”? Yep. Same. The unfortunate thing is that half the things our kids are learning from us, aren’t things we’ve explained to them. It’s the stuff we’re doing day-to-day that they’re picking up and copying without us even noticing.  Until one day we go “hold on, who taught you that?” So in today’s episode, I wanted to chat about some of the things you might be teaching your kids. Not from a place of ‘perfect parenting’ because trust me, I’m not perfect.  But from a place that might help you notice small moments in your day you want to change… so that your kids grow up healthier, happier, and more confident. We’ll chat about: How I talk about food so my kids want to eat veggies Why I never reward my kids with food (and what I do instead) What happened when my daughter called me out for overreacting How I’m teaching them to handle big feelings and stressful moments What I’m doing to prevent iPad babies My tip for making bedtime less stressful! What happened when Chris got caught eating M&Ms in the middle of the day … and SO much more If you want to hear more about this from an expert, you’re going to want to listen to my episode with Parent Educator Courtney on Spotify or Apple.

Healthy Snack Options for Kids That Are CHEAPER and EASIER Than Ultra-Processed Crap
I saw a post on IG the other day… a dietician recommending ultraprocessed foods for children. Guys, I’ve said this before and I’m going to keep saying it. This… is not good enough. This isn’t just about a fish finger and a piece of white bread. It’s about the messaging we’re giving parents. That’s ‘its good enough.’  But if we want our kids to thrive and not just survive… we have to do better. So today I’m showing you how. I’m breaking down the exact snacks I feed my kids that are not only CHEAPER and HEALTHIER  but also keep them full for longer. Which means you won’t be reaching for a second snack 10 minutes after handing them a Le Snack. Not only is this better for your wallets BUT it also nourishes their bodies, supports their brains, skin, heart eyes… And gives them the energy to be kids. If you’re stuck for ideas, I have a whole e-book dedicated to kids lunches which you can find here. You’ll hear: Cheaper and healthier alternatives to Up & Gos, Tiny Teddies and Rice Wheels How we’ve been tricked into thinking ‘snack food’ needs marketing Why your kids are constantly hungry after snack time The exact food in my kid’s lunchboxes this week How I’m managing to prep for 4 kids meals all while having chemotherapy … and SO much more If you need a push to take control of your health - download my app Fit By The Figure or sign up for coaching.  I also share all of my health and fitness tips over on IG @thefigure_ so if you want more, make sure you join me over there.

So today’s episode is a much needed, much overdue catch up with my husband Chris Duncan to chat about everything that’s happened since We’re chatting about all the stupidest stuff people say to you after you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, the crazy lack of empathy some doctors have shown me, and how this has impacted our relationship - all while providing you with some banter to get you through the day.

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

Why I Let My Kids Drink This Juice (But Not the Others)
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 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.

Life With Danni Duncan
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.
