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.

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we kick things off with our Duck Moment of the Week, where we each share a little moment that made us laugh, roll our eyes or simply stop and think, because life always gives us something to talk about.

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 and some leave us wondering who even discovered them in the first place. Join us for another fun, relaxed conversation filled with laughter, curiosity and plenty of "I had no idea!" moments.

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we welcome wellness coach, Pilates instructor and founder of Bend It with Bendle, Janette Bendle.

Janette has spent more than 25 years helping people improve their strength, mobility and wellbeing, but her own life took an unexpected turn when she suffered a heart attack at the age of 50. In this honest and inspiring conversation, she shares how that experience changed her perspective and why she made a promise to herself to start saying yes to opportunities that once might have scared her.

Of course, we couldn't let Janette leave without talking about her time on The Golden Bachelor. She takes us behind the scenes, shares what the experience was really like, what surprised her most and what she learned about herself along the way.

This episode is full of laughter, honest reflections and a reminder that it's never too late to embrace new adventures, back yourself and make the most of every opportunity life throws your way.

The 5 Love Languages has become one of the most well known relationship tools in the world. But can understanding your primary love language really improve your relationship?

In this episode of 3 Wise Ducks, relationship counsellor Joy Ball explains what the five love languages are, why they matter, and how they can help you better understand yourself and the people you love.

To put the theory to the test, Jan and Nilu complete the 5 Love Languages quiz. What should have been a quick exercise quickly turns into plenty of laughs, unexpected dilemmas and some surprising results.

Join us as we explore the strengths and limitations of the love languages, share our own experiences, and discover why relationships are about much more than knowing whether you prefer words of affirmation or acts of service.

Whether you're in a relationship, single or simply curious about why people feel loved in different ways, this episode will leave you with practical insights and a few laughs along the way.
