Planting Seeds with Soul

Back into full time construction now so time’s a bit limited. These descriptions can suck up more energy than the podcast itself, so I’m keeping them simple from here. Half the time I’m writing this a week later thinking fuck, I can barely remember what we even talked about anyway. But we always talk about good shit. If you like listening, stick around. If you don’t, then don’t. Love ya.

Watene sat down with me and opened the door to parts of his life that most people would rather keep locked away. We spoke about a childhood shaped by chaos, a rough upbringing, gangs, anger, violence, addiction, and the kind of environments that can either swallow you whole or forge something powerful inside you. This wasn’t a polished story. It was raw truth. You can feel the weight of the battle...

This episode we covered a few topics around kids and phones, Corey collapsing in the middle of no where and to be honest we don’t really know what else we spoke about 😂 so if you wanna come along for the good times, have a listen🎙️👌

Sat down with Josh Hupfeld, the creator of the Better Half Journal, and just had a real, grounded chat. We spoke about the journal and where it came from. His early days working in Child Services, including the loss of a two year old boy that became his initiation into that world. Confronting. Heartbreaking. The kind of thing that changes how you see people and responsibility. We got into his fami...

The eldest stepping into high school. A threshold. The end of a season. The quiet grief and beauty that comes with watching your kids grow and something familiar slowly fall away. Kels shares something she wrote and reads it out loud. It gets emotional. Because that’s what real life does when you actually stop and feel it. We talk about change. About finding home again beneath the noise. About who...

This one didn’t come from theory. It came from family tension, addiction, and a moment that could have gone very differently. Cameron speaks about not seeing eye to eye with family. Distance. Conflict. Trying to navigate relationships when everyone is standing in a different place. Then there was the wake up call. Coke. Chaos. His partner having a seizure right in front of him. A moment that creat...

This episode holds a lot of heart. For the first time, Sharna opens up about loving, losing and marrying her husband in hospital after a 9 month battle that broke her soul. She shares what it's really been like to grieve, to survive and to slowly learn how to heal years later. A raw and deeply human conversation.

Happy New Year Bonebags Our first episode back after the Chrissy break is a deeply honest one. We reflect on the holidays, time away down south, recent goals, and the launch of The Bridge Between Worlds 14 day journey alongside Kel’s e book. At the heart of this conversation is the reality of navigating life as a solo parent. We speak openly about experiencing Christmas for the first time after di...

In this final episode of the year I sit down with Mitch Egger a man I trust deeply. Mitch drove nearly three hours just to sit share a meal with my family and have a real conversation. No performance no masks just presence. We speak openly about addiction escapism discipline self respect and what it actually means to stay grounded in environments that once pulled us under. Mitch shares parts of hi...

Second last episode of the year and Kels’ final one for 2025. We talk about something simple that turned into something deeper. I pulled the side fence down at home to do some yard work and our golden retriever Halo suddenly had the whole front yard open to her. But did she explore Or did she stay in the comfort of what she already knew It made us think about life, opportunity and the fear of step...

In this episode I sit down with my good mate Mitch Currie and we talk about the evolution of the healing space and where people are getting stuck. These days everyone is talking about trauma and brokenness and everything that is wrong with them. Awareness is important, but if we keep feeding the story of our wounds we just create more of it. When we set our attention on what is wrong, it grows. We...

Kels and I sit down for an easy, honest chat about life. We look back on the old MSN days and the funny email names we used to have, and then drift into where life is now. A real conversation about change, growth, and learning to float with it all instead of fighting the waves.

In this solo episode I sit with the raw rhythm of life and everything it keeps teaching me. Life doesn’t pause for any of us. It keeps unfolding, shifting, breaking apart and coming back together, and all we can really do is meet it as it is. When we stop fighting what is and start adapting, accepting and moving with it, life becomes an adventure again instead of a burden. I talk about the trap of...

In this episode, Kels opens up about her journey over the past eight weeks, the shifts she has made, the lessons from running, and the moments she has fallen back into old habits. She shares vulnerably about stress eating, self awareness, and how watching Corey at his recent retreat reignited her own drive for growth. Together, we explore why sharing our stories matters, how real conversations can...

🎙️ Podcast Title: When Distraction Looks Like Success Even the good distractions can keep you from facing yourself. In this conversation with Daniel Evans from Walkabout Warriors, we walk back into his childhood. Into the things no kid should ever have to carry. Into the silent shadows that still lived inside him even while he was playing rugby league. He talks about how footy, fitness and even su...

A Father’s Fight: Surviving Loss and Finding Life Again With His Boy In this sacred episode, I sit down with coach and fighter Brad Davies from the Gold Coast to hear a story that changed my life. Brad opens up about how his partner became gravely ill while carrying their baby, how the sickness led to losing the baby, and then the devastating loss of his partner soon after. He shares how he found...

Sometimes you see someone’s story and it stops you in your tracks. That’s how it felt with Darcy from DRC Fit, the change from his younger self to where he stands now is massive. In this conversation we spoke about his routine, the path that led him there, and the moments that shaped him, from being bullied as a kid, the chaos of addiction, time in jail, and the pain of losing his mum. We touched...

In this one, me and Kels sat down with a few random questions and let the conversation flow wherever it wanted to go. We touched on life, change, motherhood, awareness, and those moments that seem to guide you when you’re paying attention. It’s one of those chats that leaves you reflecting long after it ends. A calm reminder to slow down, listen, and let life unfold in its own way.

In this episode I sit down with Kels, my partner and co host of Planting Seeds with Soul. Kels shares openly about how she has been feeling about her appearance and how that yucky feeling has pushed her into running, moving her body, and being more conscious of what she is eating and consuming. I also speak about my recent solo mushroom journey in northern New South Wales where some pretty hectic...

I first met Chris a few years back when I was climbing out of that deep dark pit I had found myself in. The universe presented the opportunity to meet his community, to sit in ceremony, and to work with the plant medicines. It was life changing. It was healing and transformative in ways I could never have imagined. There was no therapist or psychologist involved, yet everyone there was that therap...

This week’s episode turned out a little different. A guest pulled out last minute, so I sat down solo, and as always, everything happens for a reason. I dive into why everyone deserves a safe space to share their truth without judgment, how precious our time really is and how we choose to use it, and the ways fear can hold us back from taking the leap we know we are ready for. I also share some pe...

This Fathers Day we are releasing a very special episode, one that is close to our hearts and we know will resonate with many of you. Fathers Day can carry both joy and sadness. For some it is a celebration of love and presence, and for others it is a reminder of loss and longing. In this episode we honour every type of father, those walking beside us in this life and those who are no longer here....

This one hits hard. This is Bek’s story, a mother of four, raided, locked away, no record, her first time in jail. When Bek speaks, it is not just words. It is art. It is truth. And you feel every beat of it. From the moment she was taken from her kids, to the walls of Grafton, to facing fear head on… this conversation plants seeds that will stay with you long after it ends. But what she shares he...

Kelsie and I take you on our cruise with the kids, sharing the food, the stop offs, the staff, the people and the little moments that made it special. We also talk about gratitude and the importance of opening up conversations with our kids around the dinner table. These simple chats shape how they see themselves and the world, and they matter more than we sometimes realise. And of course there we...
