100NO 434: Identity Crisis? Here’s What To Do

There are times in life where our identity can change overnight. Having a baby, starting a business, changings jobs, getting divorced, or retiring can all bring with them major “who am I?” moments.
On this episode we answer the question sent to us by 100 Not Out listener Pritesh. His question is around the perceived identity crisis his parents are facing, who have recently retired. We share our own personal experiences in adopting new identities and letting go of old ones, and the role that finding purpose and meaning in each chapter of life has in this.

100NO 433: Coffee – When To have it and when to avoid it

When is the best time of the day to enjoy a coffee? The bulletproof phenomenon has seen many people start their day with a coffee. Whilst others use coffee as a stimulant to get them through the day. Some are unable to metabolise caffeine well at all, whereas some can drink coffee and feel little difference.
So, what is the best way to consume coffee? Is it worth quitting? Or is it something that we can enjoy for our entire lives, guilt-free and for the love of it.
All of these questions are discussed on this c0ffee-loving episode of 100 Not Out.

100NO 431: Friends Behaving Badly & Mastering Conversation

In all of our research an active and masterful social life is a key ingredient to not just longevity, but having a lot of fun!
On this episode we discuss the awkward event that saw one of Damian’s friends leave a conversation shortly after Damian had said something. This was a digital chat – a WhatsApp group – and the “leaving the conversation” action has prompted an entire episode on not just etiquette, but how our triggers differ to that of our friends – and what we consider to be acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in a friendship.

100NO 427: Introverts, Extroverts & Socialising

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Or a mix? How do you know? And what impact has COVID had on our social muscle? On this episode we discuss analogies for introverts and extroverts and share the ways in which we like to socialise – and not. Given that the most graceful agers on the planet are great socialisers, this may be one of the more important episodes of the 427 we’ve done so far!
