S2 EP25 | The Better Half Starts With You – A Conversation with Josh Hupfeld
Planting Seeds with SoulShow Notes
Sat down with Josh Hupfeld, the creator of the Better Half Journal, and just had a real, grounded chat.
We spoke about the journal and where it came from. His early days working in Child Services, including the loss of a two year old boy that became his initiation into that world. Confronting. Heartbreaking. The kind of thing that changes how you see people and responsibility.
We got into his family, his younger self, the path that shaped him, and what led him to build a journal that helps people look at their own patterns instead of constantly pointing outward.
Just two blokes talking about life, ownership, and doing the work most people avoid.

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🎙️👌
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.
This one didn’t come from theory. It came from family tension, addiction, and a moment that could have gone very differently.
