Planting Seeds with Soul

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.

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.

Kels shares something she wrote and reads it out loud. It gets emotional. Because that’s what real life does when you actually stop and feel it.

We talk about change. About finding home again beneath the noise. About who we are when the roles soften and the stories pause. The noticing of the witness. That place that doesn’t age, doesn’t leave, doesn’t get pulled apart when seasons change.

Nothing to fix. Nothing to solve. Just two humans sitting in truth, love, and the unknown.

If you’re moving through change, feeling something end, or quietly becoming someone new, this one might meet you right where you are.

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

Cameron speaks about not seeing eye to eye with family.
Distance. Conflict. Trying to navigate relationships when everyone is standing in a different place.

Then there was the wake up call.
Coke. Chaos. His partner having a seizure right in front of him.
A moment that created a real shift, not just for him, but for both of them.

We talk about the systems we’re told to trust.
The 9 to 5 grind. Being told to wait decades to access our own money. Being sold the idea that someone else has our back when it doesn’t feel true.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s perspective.

If you’ve ever felt caught between the life you’re living and the life you know you’re capable of living

Happy New Year Bonebags
Our first episode back after the Chrissy break is a deeply honest one. We reflect on the holidays, time away down south, recent goals, and the launch of The Bridge Between Worlds 14 day journey alongside Kel’s e book. At the heart of this conversation is the reality of navigating life as a solo parent. We speak openly about experiencing Christmas for the first time after divorce, waking up alone, and sitting with the quiet that follows. This episode is about grief, courage, and finding your feet again when life takes an unexpected turn.
