Namaste Motherf**kers
Ever wondered what it’s like to be a national treasure? Or whether you can help yourself with self-help? If it’s possible to get rich quick without being a dick? Or how many close family members have to die before you get a dog? With the help of celebrity guests and experts, Cally will be getting to the stories you’ve never heard before - uncovering not your normal life lessons, but some big ones nonetheless. Cally Beaton knows a thing or two about self-help, having helped herself out of a boardroom career to become a full-time comedian, just before a global pandemic. As well as finding out what makes her guests tick, she’ll be finding out what makes them laugh. Namaste Motherfuckers puts heart and humour into the worlds of work and wellbeing, with the guarantee that saving your soul has never been more fun.
