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 the strength to keep moving forward for his boy Hudson.
With raw honesty, Brad speaks about how, in his darkest days, he leaned on his boy more than his boy leaned on him, and how Hudson had no idea at the time just how much he was carrying his dad through.
We talk about grief, fatherhood, purpose and the unseen battles people walk with every day. I was honoured to have Brad in my home, and I will never forget the presence he brought. This conversation is more than a podcast, it is a story of love, survival and a bond between father and boy that continues to change lives.

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.
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.
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.
