EPISODE 9: F*ck, Balance is BULLSH!T! with Nigel Marsh

-------------------------------

In this episode of Fck, I’m Nearly 50!*, I sit down with the legendary Nigel Marsh - author, speaker, podcast host and all-round bullshit slayer, to talk about midlife reinvention, stripping back, and what actually matters. 💥

Nigel was the very first person I went to when this podcast idea sparked, and true to form, he challenged me: What’s your hook, Dom? Why are you any different? And thank god he did.

This conversation is classic Nigel, hilarious, raw, generous, and full of wisdom that hits right where you need it. We talk about:

🧠 Why ‘work-life balance’ is a load of crap

🏆 How success culture screws with your identity

🌊 The Sydney Skinny and what it means to really get out of your comfort zone

🎨 The joy of doing things you’re crap at (and doing them anyway)

💛 The power of family, chosen simplicity and not needing applause

🎁 The challenge he set me that you might just want to try too

Nigel reminds us that midlife isn’t about maximising everything, it’s about subtracting what doesn’t matter so you can focus on what does.

If you’re over the hustle, done with pretending and quietly wondering is this it? — this one’s for you.

-------------------------------

⚠️ Warning: his laugh is wildly contagious, and yes, we talk about nudity.
