Well, things didn't quite go to plan this week on 3 Wise Ducks! Jan's taking a sickie, leaving Joy and Nilu to hold the fort. And what do you do when you're one Duck down? You phone a friend, of course!

With no shortage of things to talk about, Joy and Nilu have a good old chat about everything and anything, including one interesting question. If they weren't doing what they're doing today, what would they be doing instead?

As you can imagine, the conversation wanders in all sorts of directions, with plenty of laughs, random thoughts and a few surprises along the way.

It's a slightly different episode this week, but that's the fun of 3 Wise Ducks. You never quite know where the conversation will end up!

And we'd love to know, if you could change careers tomorrow and do something completely different, what would you choose?

If you could sit down with your younger self for a chat, what would you say? Would you offer some wise advice, give yourself a little reassurance or tell yourself to stop worrying about things that never mattered in the first place?

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're looking back at our younger years and sharing some of the things we wish we'd known a little earlier. From relationships and friendships to confidence, choices and those life lessons we sometimes had to learn the hard way.

There are a few things we'd happily do differently, some we'd never change and plenty of moments that make us laugh when we look back.

It's a fun and honest conversation about growing older, learning along the way and realising that perhaps we didn't know quite as much as we thought we did!

We'd love to know, what's one piece of advice you'd give your younger self?

Have you ever had a friendship that once meant the world to you, but somewhere along the way, you simply drifted apart? No falling out, no drama, life just took you in different directions.

This week on 3 Wise Ducks, we're chatting about friendships and why some naturally change or fade over time. We explore the idea that people can come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime, and how each friendship can hold a special place in our story.

We talk about friendships formed through shared experiences, the people who come into our lives at just the right time, and those special friendships that seem to stand the test of time, even when life gets busy and you don't see each other as often as you'd like.

Of course, there's plenty of laughter, personal reflections and a few observations about how friendships change as we get older.

It's a conversation about appreciating the friendships we've had, enjoying the ones we have now and understanding that sometimes growing apart doesn't mean anything went wrong.

We'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you had a friendship that naturally faded, or do you have that special friend you can pick up with no matter how much time has passed?
