A casual yarn in front of 4 ft pits, with two gentle humans full of story. The challenges of their lives and how they have navigated such. Appreciate their time and application.

From the tyranny of guilt and overthinking, to being content with what is.

This is Heydon Bunting 2.0, a rich walk through therapeutic art, natural wonder & stilling the mind.

What a blessing and a gift to record this one.

This chat, as with all eps, gets better and better as the recording continues.
Jarod and I really hit a flow and towards the back end, as he's able to discuss his passion for helping others; connected to his photography practice.

In this collaboration episode, I chat with Ben Hodge & Jolan Kilkelly - two diehard NZ boogs who run a cracking little boog centric podcast called Fumanswoo.
We talk discrimination, shame, the global boog network, world tour ideas, the 2024 Shark Island challenge, my boog career, and we break down who we deem the 12 Apostles of Bodyboarding.
Super fun chat and a real testimony to the strength of the boog lifestyle.

Shaun Cooper is a doer.

Coming 2nd to Mitch Rawlins in the Australian Pro Junior in the 90's, Shaun used his disappointment to fuel 2 subsequent Australian Titles victories.
Running a busy pools maintenance business, raising 2 boys & now, with his childhood buddy Idris Wais, launching a 100 member local boog club.
In this episode we look behind the curtain on Coops' motivations and journey.

Onya Coops.

Jim is an 80 year old bodyboarder, potter & painter.
He nursed his wife until she passed, from cancer.
He played Offspring at the start of her funeral.
He lives a clear life. Something he credits a particular therapy for.
Fascinating & cathartic chat.

Ep 2 of Lula's podcasting career we explore strategies in accepting difficult feelings and thoughts. "What's the worst that can happen" says Lula.
We also take a look at Talulah's educational series: Stop Earth's Worries, where she breaks down the basics of climate change & highlights the need for our political leaders to move faster.
Now 9, she is nuanced and reflective; growing in some very helpful techniques for managing life.

Fear of young pregnancy for her daughter, Darryl's grandmother pounded his mum in the belly to force miscarriage.
Darryl grew violent in his later teens, staring down the barrel at 10 years in jail.
This beautiful man has since walked the hard road, slowly retraining a misguided toughness into a tender and powerful, real toughness.
His story is super interesting & I'm blessed to have heard it.

Daz is now a qualified counsellor, running some powerful services.  Most importantly he is continuing to look within.

OCD is real.
It's not a joke.
It's not just cleaning things, locking things or being a perfectionist.
Here's a story that'll be deeply comforting to some, a shock for others and hopefully the start of new chapter for dear Susie.
All strength to those suffering from stuff we cannot see.
Our empathy and love as individuals, and as a collective, matters.

If anyone has ever met Artie, you'll have felt good.
He has a beautiful knack for making people feel good, relaxed; connected.
Arthur has become a close friend of mine & I thought his recent interview via the national Indigenous-lead radio station, Koori Radio, was something worth publishing for Grey Space listeners.
I hope you enjoy it.
