My Nana, on her 90th, knows how to fucking party harder than anyone. She's on the fucking fentanyl patches, she's got the glass of wine and she's on the darts too. She's rotating in between smoking cigarettes and smoking joints. Now that's a fucking goer.
What does it take to develop a truly tough mindset? Comedian David Boyle sheds light on this question by sharing a heartfelt tribute to his Nana in his podcast 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. Boyle's Nana, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, has lived a life marked by extraordinary challenges. From surviving World War II and losing her family to enduring the harsh conditions of a Siberian labor camp, her journey is nothing short of inspiring.
After moving to New Zealand, she raised a family and even battled cancer, all while maintaining her sense of humor and zest for life. Her resilience has profoundly influenced Boyle, helping him cultivate his own tough mindset as he navigates the ups and downs of addiction and recovery. In this episode, Boyle dives into themes of personal responsibility and the liberating power of freedom.
He also touches on the limits of imagination and experience, emphasizing how empathy, patience, and love can bridge these gaps. If you're facing struggles with addiction, uncertainty, or adversity, Boyle's reflections offer valuable lessons on how to be resilient and compassionate in the face of life's challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on overcoming adversity.
