Love Songs With Danny Painter

Every Tuesday Danny Painter hangs out with lifestyle chef, Izelle Hoffman to talk about mindful eating, living and thinking! This week, its all about keeping warm and keeping those germs away! Izelle is all about ingredients that pack a punch, and none pack more of an anti inflammatory, ant-viral, anti-fungal and warming punch than ginger! Your Ouma and Gogo were not wrong about that ginger beer or the hot ginger tea! With a calming effect on digestion, a soothing effect on sore throats and all of the other benefits, it seems only fitting that tis week Izelle is celebrating this root with an award winning recipe from her cookbook, Mindful Eating!

Aaaaaand... we are back in level 4. Almost full circle in almost one year! This means we are back to where we started, baking banana bread and cleaning out the cupboards, right? Wrong! This means we have another opportunity to get the foundation right! And this time, Izelle is starting us off with breakfast! Her kind of breakfast, of course! Oats, two ways from her 'Mindful Eating' cookbook!

Danny Painter and Izelle Hoffman are talking about brain chemicals in today's #MindfulLivingTuesday! Every week, they hang out on a Zoom call and talk about health, wellness, and self love. Izelle is an award-winning lifestyle chef who lives and eats mindfully in every single way! After growing up with hip dysplasia and going through many, many surgeries, Izelle took her health into her own hands, and started eating the way her body needed! She then took everything she learned and turned it into both a cookbook and a lifestyle to help other people! This week, Danny and Izelle are talking about hacking your brain and eating to make yourself happy, but does it work? And what can we do? Well, Izelle has a recipe!

With so much conflicting information out there about training and nutrition, how do we know which one is the right one? Well, it's really specific to you as a human, your physiology, and the way your body responds to training but, Danny and Izelle have been lifting weights for years and as you can see, have two completely different body types and hold weight differently. However, the one thing that remains true with both of them is that the cleaner the eating, the leaner the muscle. Danny is currently focussing more on nutrition and less on training, whereas Izelle is focussed holistically on her journey. But, what works? What has worked for them in the past and what could work for you?

With the cold front here, we are reaching for the treats and the comfort food - but how can we comfort eat while honouring our bodies? Danny and Izelle are talking about cravings, pain, and comfort in this winter. COVID-19 fatigue and isolation are getting us down and now the weather has turned, we need something warming - a hug in a mug! That hug is coming in the form of Izelle's Rosa tomato soup!

At the age of eight, this powerhouse had her goal clearly defined and by 11, she was playlisted on radio with her band! Now, Mila Smith is releasing her own music on her own terms, unapologetically herself and ready to take over the world! After massive success with her band, the Skyscrapers, and their hit single 'Just Kids', Mila has signed to an international record label and has dropped her brand new solo project, 'Liars and Fakes', along with a very cool music video! I spoke to her about her rise, her career to date, and the plans for the future, and all I can say is, world, watch out, because Mila is coming for everything!

If you're even close to my age group, you will hear her voice and be transported right back to the days of freedom, friends and Thrashers skate park in Pretoria. The former front woman of Henry Ate has had her share of massive success both locally and internationally, with songs like 'Just' and 'Hey Mister' you know her voice, the sound of a lifetime we left behind. But, Karma is back. After an 8 year break she has just dropped a new single called 'Hold me' that is exactly everything we needed after such a log break! It's everything we remember and so much more. It will grab you by the heartstrings and pull you right back into her incredible voice, and if you watch the video - even better!

2020 kicked off with a bang for the local band with the exclusive Global Citizen #TogetherAtHome campaign, the release of their stellar radio hits, ‘Haters’ and ‘Last Forever’, gaining traction across the globe on notable Spotify playlists, and climbing the charts on major radio stations across the country. This year, the band look to keep their foot on the pedal with the release of their much anticipated next single titled, ‘22’ , an upbeat summer anthem already finding its place on charts at home with nostalgia-riddled lyrics which throws back to their early days - living and touring in their adolescence. ‘When writing this song I wanted to channel a feel-good energy of our journey so far as a band and as individuals, which also relates closely enough to the memories we all experienced in our early twenties. A care-free, adventurous and invincible time of life,’ says frontman Tristan Coetzee. The new single speaks to the trials of growing up and getting tied up in the laborious realities of adulthood, of

This week, Danny and Izelle are shifting perspective and embracing change, because everything happens for a reason! Normally, these two Mindfulness Warriors meet on a Tuesday to talk about all things health and wellness, but Danny had a rough Tuesday and after a power outage they decided to look at the silver lining instead of being sad about missing a show! And, Wellness Wednesday was born - for this week! Using the lessons learned yesterday by the duo, they unpack how framing your reactions to obstacles differently can affect the outcome of the situation! You get to choose, always. if it's going to be positive or negative. You always have the power.

Julanie J is an award-winning, powerhouse singer/songwriter from Cape Town who is playlist across the country. She's also a woman in love with the man of her dreams!

We all have fears, some of them worse than others, but are yours holding you back? This week in their mindful living podcast, Danny Painter and Izelle Hoffman talk about fear, overcoming it, and never allowing it to limit you and your capabilities! Every week, Izelle joins Danny on a Zoom to chat about living mindfully and eating great food with amazing humans - this week is no different!

Only, this time, it's healthy and will make both you and your body happy! Every Tuesday, Izelle Hoffman joins us on Zoom to chat about all things Mindful Living; the eating, the cooking, the drinking, the watching, and the thinking. This week she's taking us back to a childhood favourite! With the weather turning, the crisp in the air is reminding me of winter Sunday mornings when I would creep out of bed while my parents slept, make some breakfast, and binge watch 'Barney' and 'Farthing Woods' until they emerged! Obviously, I couldn't make a bang up breakfast, so it was trusty old chocolate covered rice pops - you know the ones! This week we are making the 'Izelle Hoffman approved' ones!

After a small break, Brent Lindeque is back with more Good Things! This week we speak about animals, mental health, helping our neighbours and more animals! But we need to start with our family in Cape Town and how we can help them, listen here:

He's one of the most prolific producers and Dj's of the time, soaring high and playing at some of the biggest festivals the world over, and then, lockdown happened. The Greek / Zambian artist has long been a favourite on Jacaranda Fm, and nothing seems to be changing! With his latest offering 'Lost' in he colabs with the incredible Adekunle Gold in a thought provoking, sad but uplifting song! Having recently signed to Ultra records, EL Mukuka is set to take over the word - as soon as he can, and we are ready!

In a recent article I read from the Harvard Review, they talk about the 'power' of small wins. The Power of small wins - that made me think long and hard about the use of the word 'power' in that context and, I have to admit that small wins, are indeed powerful. From the 1kg scale victory to the making of the bed, the small wins are the ones that hold the most power over whether the good habits are formed or the not-so-good ones remain, and I think we should be celebrating them! You should be celebrating you much, much more!

This week on #MindfulLivingTuesday Danny and Izelle speak about karma and purposeful living!
