We're bringing back a listener favourite!

In this heartwarming episode, we sit down with the legendary Jason Gunn - a familiar face from childhood TV screens and a man with wisdom well beyond the spotlight. Jason opens up about life behind the scenes: navigating career shifts, parenting challenges, grief, health, and how he’s found strength through it all.

We explore the power of storytelling, the importance of presence, and why kindness is never wasted. Whether you’re craving a dose of nostalgia or just looking for a laugh or two this one’s for you.

What if the way you're breathing is at the root of your brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, or chest tightness and you’ve never even realised it?

In this episode, we’re joined by Abby Stewart, a Senior NZ Registered Musculo-Respiratory Physiotherapist and certified BradCliff Breathing Practitioner. Abby helps people retrain dysfunctional breathing patterns to feel calm, confident, and in control again. Abby unpacks the surprising impact of breathing on everything from panic attacks to persistent neck pain.

We explore why bigger breaths aren’t always better, how to assess your own breathing at rest, and why so many people are unknowingly over-breathing. Whether you’re an athlete or just tired of unexplained symptoms, this episode is a must-listen.
