Weekly Waffle with Jamie Acton!

Weekly Waffle with Jamie Acton!

Author: Taylor James November 24, 2021 Duration: 1:02:13

Joining me for a Waffle this week is the incredible Jamie Acton!

Jamie is a professional athlete and one of the co-founders of Banish Fitness, the app designed to help your Mental Health just as much as your Physical Health!

We have an open and honest chat about his professional Rugby Career, his life changing injury and how this led him to losing his purpose in life. 

There are quite a lot of strong themes throughout this episode but its proof that sometimes being at rock bottom can change the course of your life for the better.

This is one of my favourite Waffles I have done and there is so much incredible advice throughout the recording so I really hope it helps someone who may need that little bit of inspiration

Hosted by Taylor James, The Waffle Shop is built on the idea that the most meaningful talks happen when you’re just chatting about everything and nothing at the same time. This podcast lives in the space where personal stories about music, the realities of mental health, and the daily grind of adult life all intersect. It’s less about finding perfect answers and more about sharing the experience of figuring it out in your thirties, embracing the minor frustrations and small victories that define our days. Each conversation feels like sitting down with friends who aren’t afraid to be honest about the beautiful chaos of their journeys. Taylor brings in a different guest for every episode, and together they have a proper, meandering waffle-digging into past experiences, current challenges, and the odd bit of pop culture. You’ll hear genuine reflections on self-improvement, societal pressures, and the personal journals we all keep in our heads. The result is a comforting, often funny, and deeply human listen that reminds you that navigating life is a shared endeavor. Tune in for a blend of society, culture, and education, all filtered through the lens of real, unscripted conversation.
