S2 EP4 | Cruises, Kids, Gratitude and a Few Good Laughs

Planting Seeds with Soul

Show Notes

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 were laughs along the way. At one point I ended up spitting food at Kelsie with crumbs going everywhere, one of those moments where you just lose it together.

A mix of funny, heartfelt and real. These are the conversations that matter.

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.

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.
