Season 3 is coming Thursday, 25 May!
Kia ora e hoa mā! After six whole months, I am so excited to finally be back with you with another season of Grey Areas.
Season 3 drops in a week on Thursday, 25 May and I hope you'll join me again for more kōrero with wonderful humans about those trickier parts of getting older.
This season we chat with the delightful Michele A'Court about winning in your 50s, my mate Pio Terei about the privilege of ageing, and even go on an exploration of our relationship with alcohol with Lotta Dann. There's so much more goodness coming your way.
We've also got new ways for us to connect as a Grey Areas community - send me your feedback and thoughts at 0800 GREY AREAS and become part of our brand-new Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/greyareaswithpetrabagust.
Exciting times! Catch you on rova, or wherever you get your podcasts next week.

Kia ora! I have missed you. Exciting times - Season 03 of Grey Areas is dropping next week!
It's been a whole six months since Season 02 and while we've been working away at this next season, I've also been up to a little something else called Sunday Sanctuary.
It started as a live radio show on Sunday mornings on Today FM and ran for six whole weeks before the demise of the station meant it was all over. But we refused to give up on the show and it's now a podcast!
Inspired by the idea of creating a sanctuary, Sunday Sanctuary is a safe and peaceful place where people can reflect on spirituality and retreat from the chaos and noise of the outside world.
It's different from Grey Areas but we thought you might like to have a listen!
Join the Sunday Sanctuary community on Instagram at @sundaysanctuarynz, and catch a new episode every second Sunday at 7am, wherever you get your podcasts.
Catch you next week for Season 03 of Grey Areas!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The edges of menopause | Kate Rodger + Lara Briden
In this episode we look a little more intently at the ill-defined edges of perimenopause - those bumpy borders on the way in and out - and how we can find support in those tricky transitions.
First up, I'm delighted to welcome back to the show Lara Briden, whose wealth of experience and knowledge combined with her encouraging tone is a cool and soothing balm to so many hot-flush-addled women (myself included).
Next, I sat down with fabulous film-reviewer Kate Rodger. Her perimenopausal journey has been playing out rather publicly on our screens, and her stories, openness and humour made for a killer way to wrap up Season 2!

Anger: Is it ever a good thing? | Jax Donaldson + Nettie Cullen
From mild irritation to annoyance to fury and rage - what is anger, really? Are women allowed to be angry in our society? What role does anger play in our lives? And is it ever a good thing?
Join me as a I discuss this with registered psychologist Nettie Cullen, gaining her professional insight into this tricky emotion, including how to understand what our anger is telling us and what we can do with it.
But first I chat with broadcaster and food blogger Jax Donaldson, of soigather.nz, about her experience of anger. We swap our stories of anger in our childhoods and how we've navigated those moments of being pushed to our limits as parents.

Kia ora and nau mai haere mai to Grey Areas with me, Petra Bagust. This is about growing up and going grey, in Aotearoa New Zealand because I’m getting older. And so are you. So how do we do it well?
I reckon we can do it with a bit of gorgeousness and gusto and break that ‘getting old’ mould just a little. Or maybe more than a little.
So join me as we climb into some of those topics that just aren't so clear-cut, maybe are a little chewy, a little crunchy… and let’s journey our way through them.
I've got a group of wonderful wāhine, and the odd beaut bloke, to chat with, and we're going to share some wisdom that we've discovered along the way. And I’d love for you to share your wisdom with me too, because everybody has something to offer.
