100 Not Out

Today we explore what it really means to slow down in  2026, savor quality time with those we love, and how adopting some European traditions could help us bring more joy and meaning to our often rushed and stressful Australian gatherings. With a European Christmas as the backdrop, Damo shares stories of candlelit fir trees, freshly fallen snow, and leisurely family days. We open up about the beauty of simple, intentional togetherness and the power of new perspectives gathered overseas. Our conversation wanders from tradition and culture to the life-extending benefits of truly being present with each other—reminding ourselves that it’s the moments, not the presents, that count. 01:10 European vs. Australian Christmas Traditions 04:41 "Cozy Christmas Eve Traditions" 08:36 "Balancing Holiday Gatherings Perspectives" 12:56 "Quality Time Fosters Natural Balance" 16:34 "Australia's Evolving Cultural Identity" 19:31 "The Simplicity of Quality Time" 21:37 "Reflection and New Experiences"
