Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Cindy Vogt—also known as Mum. My dad is still recovering from his heart attack, so until his health is back on track, I thought it was the perfect time to bring Mum on for a conversation.
We talk about life, loss, and resilience.
We touch briefly on my time in addiction—a much deeper conversation that will come when I have both my parents on together.
We talk about grief—the loss of a close family friend who took his own life when he was young, and the tragic passing of my mum’s sister, Jacqui (Fats). A case the police dismissed as suicide, but my family has always believed otherwise. The injustice, the unanswered questions, the failure of the system.
We also dive into anxiety—how Mum copes with it, how it’s shaped her, and what she would say to others struggling with their own battles.
This is a deep, raw, and honest conversation. One about pain, but also about strength, love, and the things that truly matter.
Much love. 🎙️

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.
