Bread And Better Podcast

This week on Bread and Better, we had the pleasure of interviewing Dani O, an incredibly talented pole dance instructor and spicy dancer with a passion for helping women build confidence and learn to love their bodies through sensual dance. Dani shares practical advice on boosting confidence, discusses the multifaceted benefits of pole dancing classes, and provides intriguing insights into the world of stripping. Plus, she gives us the tea on what it was like to perform on stage with Snoop Dogg.

Bread and Better is hosted by Tegan Padget a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, chef, and owner of the online lifestyle coaching business called Fitty Tegs, and Alex Whittington a freelance feature writer, producer, the owner of Hey Al! Productions, and a mum of three. We aim to not only discuss the issues that affect us as women - but also how the issues we deal with, and how we respond, can affect those we influence - our kids, our nephews and nieces, our siblings, our cousins, our godchildren, our best friend's kids. We are committed to opening a dialogue where we explore generational patterns in the health, movement and mindset space, and make real change.

We’ll illustrate how small, consistent changes can lead to significant improvements over time. We’re going to go right into the concept of marginal gains and provide examples of 1% improvements you can make across various aspects of life, from habits and nutrition to sleep and self-love. This ep is filled with great tips, a few laughs and a fun new segment.
