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 and ends up somewhere completely unexpected. Birthdays, compliments, a little life lesson and plenty of laughs along the way.

And we have something exciting coming up. We're having a 3 Wise Ducks Luncheon on 14 November 2026 and we'd love some of our listeners to join us. Follow us on our socials and register your expression of interest if you'd like to come along. We'll be sharing more details soon.

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.

Whether you've been with us since Episode 1 or you're joining the flock for the first time, we'd love for you to come along for the ride as we celebrate this little milestone together.

Expect laughter, a few honest moments, plenty of duck antics and the reminder that it's okay to pause every now and then and reflect on how far you've come.

Have you ever started a conversation with absolutely no idea where it was going to end?

That's exactly what happened in this episode.

What began as one random thought quickly turned into a rollercoaster of unexpected stories, surprising insights, plenty of laughter and the kind of conversations that only happen when you stop trying to control them.

We chat about spontaneity, saying yes to the unexpected, those last minute decisions that become your favourite memories, and why some of life's best moments can never be planned. Of course, we also wander off on a few tangents, laugh far more than we probably should, and somehow manage to find a few meaningful insights along the way.

If you enjoy real conversations, lots of laughs and spending time with three friends who never quite know where the conversation is heading, this episode is for you.

Grab a cuppa and come and join the flock.
