S2 EP9 | The Teddy Bears We Carry and the Choices That Change Us

Planting Seeds with Soul

Show Notes

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 insights came through. One of the biggest realisations was around the teddy bears we carry through life. From the moment we are given a blankie or a toy to feel safe in the dark we start attaching to things outside of ourselves, even when there was never anything to be afraid of in the first place.

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.

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.
