Me, My Cat & A Vaccine Crisis 

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2129682/fan_mail/new">Flick me a msg</a>We’re coming off an Easter weekend that delivered all the vibes - Warbirds Over Wānaka, Friday night gins, A rugby boy, and a very bold (and questionable) pick-up line. Somewhere in between the chaos, I’ve also found myself in a full-blown knickers crisis… because why is finding a good pair actually so hard??On a more wholesome note, my mum called me at 9pm to say she’d watched Travel Guides… and just like that, she’s suddenly okay with me heading to Thailand solo. I watched it too, and had a bit of a moment realising I’m actually about to do something pretty big - by myself.We’re also chatting small wins (like friends saving me when my car decided to act up), unexpected moments with family, meeting new people over the long weekend, and why April is already feeling like a bit of much needed chaos.It’s chaotic, it’s honest, it’s a little emotional… and it’s very much a “life lately” catch-up.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2129682/support">Support the show</a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/danidotpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=bnh0YzNpNmVuZjlz'>https://www.instagram.com/danidotpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=bnh0YzNpNmVuZjlz</a>

I Had It Together Until Thursday Night 👀

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2129682/fan_mail/new">Flick me a msg</a>This week on the Dani Dots Podcast, it’s a very real life update - the kind where everything is technically fine… but also slightly chaotic.I’ve been feeling a bit flat and overwhelmed lately, and I wanted to talk honestly about that - because not every week is high energy or productive, and that’s okay.There’s been a mix of everything: a long weekend of doing absolutely nothing (which turned out to be exactly what I needed), a random rooftop catch-up with friends that wasn’t even planned, and some classic adult life chaos - including a burst hot water cylinder.I also get into why I left Vodafone all those years ago and how that decision ended up shaping the direction of my life more than I realised at the time.And just to keep things interesting… my brother bought a boat and casually decided it’s going to me one day, so that’s a new development.This episode is a mix of real talk, reflection, and finding the good in weeks that feel a little all over the place.If you’ve been feeling a bit the same lately - this one’s for you.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2129682/support">Support the show</a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/danidotpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=bnh0YzNpNmVuZjlz'>https://www.instagram.com/danidotpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=bnh0YzNpNmVuZjlz</a>

“I’m Fine… Just a Little Overwhelmed (Also My Brother Bought a Boat)"

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2129682/fan_mail/new">Flick me a msg</a>This week on the Dani Dots Podcast, I’m catching you up on a very eventful week from Airbnb adventures involving a guest from Estonia to discovering my neighbour has jumped on the Airbnb cash train.I’ve been leaning into eating whole foods (which basically means eating things not made in a factory), successfully convincing my mum to try fish curry, and starting the vaccines for my upcoming Thailand trip - which led to a surprisingly blunt conversation with my doctor about what to avoid while travelling.There’s also been some real-life moments behind the scenes with family news, updates from my concussion clinic, and a bit of reflection after hitting a few work milestones - including three years in my current role and ten years since leaving Vodafone Queenstown.I also talk about why I’ve decided to travel to Thailand solo for my 39th birthday, how the trip came together, and why I’m leaning into being more comfortable with who I am as I get older.It’s a bit of a life update episode - chaotic, reflective, and full of the kind of random side quests that seem to happen when you’re figuring life out in real time.Grab a coffee and come have a listen.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2129682/support">Support the show</a><a href='https://www.instagram.com/danidotpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=bnh0YzNpNmVuZjlz'>https://www.instagram.com/danidotpod?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&amp;igsh=bnh0YzNpNmVuZjlz</a>
