3 Wise Ducks

Well, things didn't quite go to plan this week on 3 Wise Ducks! Jan's taking a sickie, leaving Joy and Nilu to hold the fort. And what do you do when you're one Duck down? You phone a friend, of course!

With no shortage of things to talk about, Joy and Nilu have a good old chat about everything and anything, including one interesting question. If they weren't doing what they're doing today, what would they be doing instead?

As you can imagine, the conversation wanders in all sorts of directions, with plenty of laughs, random...

If you could sit down with your younger self for a chat, what would you say? Would you offer some wise advice, give yourself a little reassurance or tell yourself to stop worrying about things that never mattered in the first place?

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're looking back at our younger years and sharing some of the things we wish we'd known a little earlier. From relationships and friendships to confidence, choices and those life lessons we sometimes had to learn the hard way.

There are a few things we'd happily do differently...

Have you ever had a friendship that once meant the world to you, but somewhere along the way, you simply drifted apart? No falling out, no drama, life just took you in different directions.

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're chatting about friendships and why some naturally change or fade over time. We explore the idea that people can come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime, and how each friendship can hold a special place in our story.

We talk about friendships formed through shared experiences, the people who come...

Why can doing something for ourselves sometimes feel so much harder than doing it for everyone else?

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're talking about self-care and the guilt that can sometimes come with it. Why do we find it so easy to put other people first, yet question ourselves when we take time out, say no or choose to do something simply because it makes us feel good?

We chat about what self-care can look like in everyday life, why it doesn't need to be expensive or complicated, and the difference between looking after...

What does it really take to be happy, and are we sometimes looking for it in all the wrong places?

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're talking about happiness. Not the perfect life kind of happiness, but the everyday kind that can easily get lost when life gets busy.

We explore four key areas that can influence how we experience happiness, both in the little moments of everyday life and over the longer term. We talk about what we can influence ourselves, what we sometimes expect to make us happy, and why happiness can look...

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're turning the microphones over to you, well, sort of!

We've been loving hearing what you think about the podcast, so we're sharing some of the reviews and comments you've sent our way. Some made us laugh, some made us smile and a few sparked conversations of their own.

We're still finding our feet, having plenty of fun and never quite knowing where a conversation will take us, so hearing that you're listening and enjoying the ride with us means a lot.

And don't be shy. We'd love...

Turning 50 comes with a few life lessons, plenty of stories and, apparently, a list of things every woman should experience at least once.

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're sharing our 10 things every woman should do before she turns 50. Some are about having fun, some might push you a little outside your comfort zone, and others are simply things we think every woman should give herself permission to do.

As we make our way through the list, there's plenty to talk about, plenty to laugh about and a few things that might have you thinking...

Ever wondered what it's like to put on a pair of headphones, forget who's watching and dance to your own beat?

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we chat with Sophie from POHSS Studio about all things silent disco. Sophie has taken the traditional idea of a silent disco and turned it into something much more, bringing together music, movement, nature, fun and connection in some pretty unexpected places.

We talk about how POHSS Studio began, what happens when a group of people put on their headphones and let themselves go, and why Sophie believes movement...

Apparently one birthday isn't enough for Jan, so this week on 3 Wise Ducks we're celebrating Jan's birthday month and having plenty of laughs about it along the way.

Joy also shares a recent moment that taught her a lesson about accepting a compliment. What should have been a simple "thank you" didn't quite go to plan, leading to a hilarious conversation about why we can be so awkward when someone says something nice about us, and what perhaps not to do next time.

It's one of those 3 Wise Ducks conversations that starts in one place...

We made it to Episode 10!

What better way to celebrate than by taking a moment to reflect on the journey so far? In this special episode, we look back at what we've learned, how we think we're doing, the moments that surprised us most and, of course, the things that still make us laugh.

It's an honest, light hearted conversation filled with friendship, self reflection, unexpected insights and plenty of hilarious moments as we share our thoughts on the podcast, ourselves and what we've discovered along the way.

Then it's on to this week's topic, "Did You Know?" A collection of completely random, mindless facts that serve no real purpose other than making us laugh, surprising us with the unexpected and sparking conversations that head in directions none of us saw coming.

Some facts are interesting, some are bizarre...
