Nevena and Macca are joined live on air by Josh Moyes – Writer & Actor, Finding Glitter in the Storm, Midsumma Premier From a Unique Queer Voice Josh Moyes, a queer kid growing up in Byron, just wanted a doll for Christmas, but ‘Santa’ left a bong. Finding Glitter in the Storm is a darkly comic queer coming-of-age story. After moving from Geelong (Djilang) to the outskirts of Byron Bay (Bundjalung Nation), where the family bought a pirate ship, they were quickly crowned the town pirates – a perfect analogy for their beautiful dysfunction. Josh – queer, tender, and a rainbow rebel from a crew of renegade castaways – discovered how to find the sparkle looking from the shore at a sea of stoners and wave-chasers. Josh playfully and respectfully unpacks contradictions in the Byron Bay laid-back lifestyle. The show offers a unique voice about the unexpected beauty in growing up different. Through heart, humour, and unfiltered honesty, this skilful storytelling will leave you grinning and a little braver.  Josh Moyes (writer, actor). A neurodivergent artist, Josh began studying performance at WAAPA before completing a Bachelor of Creative Writing at Curtin University. He trained in Los Angeles with acclaimed acting coach Eric Morris, performed playback theatre at festivals around Australia, and his storytelling was praised at The Moth by comedian the late Cal Wilson as “superb – great story.” With years in the community and humanities sectors, Josh brings lived experience and lyrical wit to the stage. Finding Glitter in the Storm marks the emergence of a distinctive new voice in Australian theatre – funny, fierce, and deeply human. Accompanied by an atmospheric musical instrument guest, this Midsumma premiere celebrates the courage it takes to keep dancing in the downpour – a love letter to the misfits and late bloomers, and a call to and from the inner artist in us all who never quite fit the script. A spectacle, it proves that glitter can always be found in the storm. The post Sat, 24th, Jan, 2026: Josh Moyes – Writer & Actor, Finding Glitter in the Storm, Midsumma Premier From a Unique Queer Voice appeared first on Saturday Magazine.

Two 15-year-olds vanish after heading to a disco in Wollongong. An 18-year-old Belgian backpacker disappears after a night out in Byron Bay. A 20-year-old Navy recruit vanishes from a casino lobby in a matter of minutes. These are just a few of Australia’s missing persons cases you may never have heard of. Each year, more than 56,000 people are reported missing across the country. Most are found. But over 2,500 remain missing long-term, their names and stories slowly fading from public memory. Nicole Morris, Director of the Australian Missing Persons Register and author of Vanished and Missing, refuses to let them be forgotten. Find the Australian Missing Persons Register here.

This week we sit down with Jes Saddington! Mama of two, Byron Bay local, and founder of cult-favourite linen label Dazed but Amazed. One of Tez's Byron homies and a BFF for life, Jes and Tez dive into the community they've built in the Bay; sun-soaked surf and skate evenings, never-ending sleepovers, and Prairie's very serious crush on Jes's husband (aka “my marriage”). We talk business evolution too, including the new directions Dazed is exploring, like introducing a cotton blend alongside the iconic tonal linen sets the brand is known for. Jes opens up about off-grid jungle-esque living, raising two nature-loving boys, and why she takes intentional hibernation breaks from work to recalibrate her life and creativity. Plus, Jes shares candidly about her postpartum recovery trauma, undergoing two reconstructive surgeries and the long healing road that followed.

Send us a textIn this episode, we sit down with Aaron Tait, author of Far Horizons, for a wide-ranging and deeply reflective conversation about life, leadership, travel, and the experiences that shape us. Aaron shares his journey from a restless childhood in New Zealand to joining the military at just 17, the moral reckoning that followed his early deployments, and how travel, service, and storytelling became part of his healing.We talk about Byron Bay as a place people are drawn back to, what good leadership really looks like, and how entrepreneurship, education, and community-led work across Africa have shaped Aaron's outlook. There's also a thoughtful discussion on writing, vulnerability, masculinity, and why stories — and reading — still matter, especially for men.It's an honest and generous conversation about finding meaning, letting go of what no longer fits, and choosing how to live the next chapter.If you'd like to share your story or provide feedback, please contact us via email at chrishanley@byronbayfn.com

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation.What happens when you build a life in Australia, and then you're told you have to leave?In this episode, we sit down with Nathan Joseph (yes, that Nathan — Love Island alum turned massive online fitness and mental health voice) to talk about a side of expat life most people don't see… until it happens to them.Nathan shares how his move to Australia started during one of the hardest periods of his life, and why Australia felt like a reset he genuinely needed. We talk about the mental health “toolbox” he built to stay on track, what helped him cope day to day, and why being open about it now matters so much — especially for men.And then we get into the part that still feels unbelievable: Nathan was effectively kicked out of Australia after a chain of visa decisions during Covid, including a refused application and the fallout from a past incident that became a major problem later. He explains what happened, what the ban actually means, and what it feels like to lose a country you thought you'd live in forever — including possibly missing his best mate's wedding in Byron Bay.We also talk about what he did after Australia: the months that broke him, why he quit drinking for 16 months, how he rebuilt his life and business from the UK, and how he's grown a community of hundreds of thousands by being brutally honest about food, fitness, and what “healthy” actually means.If you've ever wondered how fragile the visa process can be, or you've felt like Australia became home before it was technically “safe” — you're going to feel this one.You can follow Nathan here: https://www.instagram.com/nathangjoseph/ Check out our award winning Australia travel site full of free travel guides:https://londonerinsydney.com/ Follow us for our daily updates: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelondonerinsydney/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theexpatrealitypodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LondonerInSydneyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@londonerinsydney Useful links: Get a FREE visa assessment with the best Australian Migration Agents: https://truebluemigration.com/assessment/ Get 10% off a Star RV Motorhomes for hire across Australia or New Zealand.

In Groeten uit... dit keer het verhaal van Marloes MacPherson. Ruim 10 jaar geleden was ze in Australië als backpacker, toen ze in de laatste weken van haar reis haar huidige man ontmoette. Ze woont momenteel in Mullumbimby (NSW), een dorp niet ver van Byron Bay.

This week, Tez and Sarah sit down with one of Tez's Byron Bay gal pals, the luminous Laura May; mama and founder/creative director of the beloved brand Nagata. Laura shares how she worked with the universe to call in the divine timing of her daughter's conception, what her first pregnancy was like, and the wild ride that was her maiden birth. From a planned homebirth that became a transfer to navigating a long, stop/start posterior labour, Laura opens up about how she anchored herself in acceptance, surrender, and trust as her birth plan shifted. We dive into the few day marathon, the mystical moments, the messy bits, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman meets her edge. It's raw, magical, and deeply relatable, a story for anyone who's ever birthed a baby, birthed themselves, or surrendered to a timeline bigger than their own.

Healing doesn't always require effort — sometimes it begins in stillness. A simple gesture, a soft breath, the willingness to bring awareness to the places we've abandoned. In this episode of Toxic Silence, we're exploring the body's most ancient language — the quiet gestures, shapes, and postures through which emotion speaks when words fall away. This is the essence of Kriya, of Mudra, of movement as medicine.So many of us carry the residue of unspoken experience — the tension in a jaw that never got to shout, the collapsed chest of someone who learned to stay small, the throat that still fears being heard. Our bodies remember what our minds try to forget.When we shape our hands into a Mudra, when we sit and breathe into a posture, we're not forcing anything open. We're creating space — a quiet invitation for energy to circulate again, for emotion to move, for life to return to the places that have gone numb.My guest today is Rachel Zinman, an internationally renowned yoga teacher, author, and musician based in Byron Bay. With over 35 years of teaching experience, Rachel's love of mudras — sacred gestures that restore balance and calm — infuses her work with depth, stillness, and grace. Through her classes, writing, and music, she guides others to experience yoga as a living path toward harmony and awareness.instagram.com/rachelyogiYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@RachelZinmanYogaWebsite: https://rachelzinmanyoga.com/Toxic Silence Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1UsNwZQP74SbTAsin5aXr9?si=8N7qlTIgTGSKhHBDrIoGtg

Ein Song, der eigentlich gar nicht für die Charts gemacht war. Sondern fürs Hostel. Für den Strand. Für den Dienstagabend im australischen Byron Bay. Und für alle, die tanzen wollen – auch auf der Straße. Was dann passiert, ist fast zu groß, um es zu begreifen. Ein Song wird zur Welthymne – und der Sound einer Nacht zum Soundtrack für Milliarden.

Send us a textWhat if the most powerful thing you could do for the world…was to hold your own light?

What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t a personal failing, but simply your body fighting against a system it was never designed for? What if the burnout, the people-pleasing, and the relentless grind aren’t character flaws, but signs you’re running the wrong energetic blueprint? Human design expert Emma Dunwoody reveals a revolutionary truth: we aren’t all designed to work, rest, or succeed the same way. Understanding your unique energy type is the key to finally stopping the burnout cycle and stepping into your authentic power. The Woman Who Refused Her Diagnosis At 28, Emma Dunwoody sat in a psychologist’s office, deeply suicidal, and received a devastating diagnosis: depression, anxiety, and panic disorder that she would never heal from, only learn to live with. Walking across the car park that day, Emma faced two options: end it all, or work out how she got there and find a way out. She chose the second path, embarking on a profound healing journey that eventually led her across 800 kilometres of Spain on the Camino pilgrimage, searching for her true purpose. Within 48 hours of returning home, human design appeared everywhere in her life. It was the exact missing piece she’d been seeking. Now at 50, Emma is a master coach, author of “Human Design Made Simple,” and host of The Human Design Podcast, on a mission to take this transformative system mainstream. The Science of Differentiation Human design is what Emma calls “the science of differentiation,” a system that presupposes we are all completely unique, and that this individuality itself is valuable and important. It reveals five distinct energy types, each designed to work, rest, and create success differently. Manifestors are the initiators who start the flame. Generators are the builders of sustainable energy for what lights them up. Manifesting Generators are the hybrids who demonstrate human potential, moving fast and multi-passionately. Projectors are the guides who see deeply into systems and improve efficiency. Reflectors are the truth tellers who mirror back collective reality. The problem? We’ve all been conditioned to operate the same way, following systems designed for one type while forcing everyone else to adapt. The result is epidemic burnout. Two Types of Burnout You Need to Know Emma distinguishes between two fundamentally different burnout experiences. Non-sacral types (manifestors, projectors, reflectors) experience complete shutdown. They literally cannot continue and end up on the couch or in the doctor’s office. Sacral types (generators and manifesting generators) experience what Emma calls “functional burnout.” They keep going and going, but disconnect from their passion and life force. They’re exhausted but can’t stop. Life becomes Groundhog Day without joy or meaning. Understanding which type you are changes everything about how you prevent and recover from burnout. Stop Treating Others Like You Emma challenges the golden rule we’ve all been taught: treat others as you would like to be treated. Human design says the opposite: treat others as they are designed to be treated. This shift removes projection and honors each person’s unique blueprint. In parenting, it means understanding that generator children need three sports a week to discharge energy, while projector children need quiet rest after absorbing everyone’s energy at school all day. In business, it means building teams and systems around people’s actual energy, not forcing everyone into the same mold. Your Superpowers Have Shadows Every aspect of our design has both a superpower and a shadow side. For manifesting generators like Emma and host Catherine Plano, the superpower of high energy and multi-passionate capability becomes a shadow of overworking, lack of boundaries, and people-pleasing. Deconditioning means becoming aware of these patterns and consciously choosing differently. Once you understand your shadows, you can reclaim your superpowers and use them intentionally rather than unconsciously. Building Business by Your Design Emma teaches entrepreneurs to stop following someone else’s seven-figure launch formula and instead build businesses aligned with their unique design. Her own seven-figure business thrives with three manifesting generators on the core team, defying traditional advice about needing different types. The key is understanding each person’s energetic blueprint and creating systems that support rather than drain their energy. Success comes from alignment, not force. The Experiment That Changes Everything Emma emphasises that human design isn’t dogma but an experiment. Get your free chart, read the book, listen to the podcast, then run the experiment in your own life. Does it resonate? Does it create more flow, abundance, and connection? Through this lens, Catherine discovered her Cross of Rulership, revealing that her purpose involves redefining power from patriarchal dominance to genuine empowerment. Emma identified Catherine’s Gate 22, an emotional energy connected to using voice to move people, but only from the right emotional state. These insights provide language for what we already feel inside, giving us permission to be authentically ourselves. Three Golden Nuggets for Your Journey Believing in Yourself Is a Choice Every successful person shares one fundamental attribute: they believe in themselves. This isn’t something that magically appears one day. It’s a daily choice to love, accept, and trust yourself. Everything You Seek Already Lives Within You The magic, the power, the answers all exist inside you right now. Human design helps you access what’s already there, revealing the brilliant being you were designed to be. Never Give Up on Your Heart’s Knowing If your heart tells you something is for you, even when you don’t know why or how, never give up. Trust that you’re on the path, becoming the person who can receive what you’re calling in. Be patient and persistent. About Emma Dunwoody Emma Dunwoody is a Human Design Expert, Master Coach, Author, Behavioural Specialist, Speaker and host of The Human Design Podcast. Based in Byron Bay, Australia, she founded the Emma Dunwoody Collective and has trained thousands worldwide in her unique Transformational Human Design method, combining Human Design, Gene Keys, and transformational coaching. She’s on a mission to help millions transform their lives by making human design simple, applicable, and powerfully transformative. Key Takeaway You are not broken. You are not lazy. You are simply running an energy system that doesn’t match your design. When you understand your unique type and honour your authentic blueprint, burnout becomes optional. Success becomes sustainable. Life becomes joyful. Coming home to your true design means reclaiming the power that has always been yours.

Katie Treble grew up crying at about how all the king's horses and men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again. It was that compassion that made her the perfect candidate for doctoring during war as an adult.When Dr Katie Treble decided to swap the good vibes and beautiful beaches of Byron Bay for work with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) she knew she would be in for a shock. Nothing could have prepared her for the desperate need she encountered in the Central African Republic (CAR) in the midst of a civil war.But Katie was even more affected by the courage and kindness of her colleagues.She came away from her months in Bria, CAR knowing that her time as a humanitarian doctor would change her own life in deep ways, and so when she got back to Australia she started the work of trying to make sense of it all.Field Notes from Death's Door is published by HarperCollins.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores medicine, university, war, civil war, Africa, humanitarian crisis, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, MSF, doctors without borders, access to medicine, hospital, conflict zones, PTSD, malaria, defence, navy, Kenya, France, Jamaica, Haiti, natural disaster, murder, infant mortality rate, vaccination, religious war, Islam, Christianity, genocide, MDMA therapy, psychology, recovery, healing.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

And remember to subscribe over at passaroundthesmile.com to access our 20% storewide sale starting NOV 1 9am- NOV 3 - 9amIn this episode, we dive deep into the dance between intuition and fear and how to tell which one is guiding you.I unpack the difference between the two energies: how intuition feels calm, clear, and grounded, while fear feels noisy, urgent, and protective. We explore why our brains are wired to listen to fear first, and how to quiet the noise so we can hear that softer, wiser inner voice that's always been there.I also share three personal stories…. moments when I chose fear over intuition, and others when I trusted my gut and everything shifted. My hope is that through these stories, you'll start to recognise your own patterns and learn how to move with more trust, alignment, and confidence in your everyday decisions.If you've ever asked yourself, “Is this my intuition or just anxiety?” this one's for you.

And it's definitely not about hustling harder.The thing that has guided me to my biggest breakthroughs in business and life; quitting jobs, moving overseas, building multiple businesses that didn't make sense on paper.. has been the most underrated skill I've ever cultivated: trusting my intuition above all else.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really took to create a lot of success in my business, create a soul-led life, and make bold, unconventional choices that logic never would have led me to.And I'm also sharing why this “trust fall” into intuition feels terrifying every single time and how you can start practicing it too.Join me as I share:✨ The “secret” behind how I scaled my business (and why it never looked like it was working until it did)✨ The inner work I prioritised over strategy,  and how it completely shifted my reality✨ Why your rational brain will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven✨ What intuition really feels like (hint: it's usually inconvenient, scary, and illogical)✨ How to start building the capacity to trust yourself in business and in life✨ Why I created BECOMING

In this episode, Georgie shares the behind-the-scenes story of how 2025 became a year of radical change, unexpected growth, and a complete reinvention of her business and identity. She opens up about her early days operating from a hyper-masculine, workaholic drive, softening into feminine flow during her Bali and Byron Bay chapters, and the recent stretch that demanded stronger systems, discipline and leadership to hold her next-level vision. This is a raw and honest reflection on what it really takes to evolve - when calm and slow are no longer the edge, and balance becomes the mastery. Georgie explores the dance between masculine structure and feminine flow and how she's now building from a place of both softness and power. Whether you're navigating your own season of change, craving deeper alignment, or recalibrating your pace - this conversation will speak to the part of you that knows you're meant for more, but wants to build it without burning out.

On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with Jake from In Hearts Wake for a raw, insightful look at his unusual journey from the creative beaches of Byron Bay to the international heavy music scene. Jake opens up about growing up surrounded by artists—his mom, a tarot card reader; his “bonus dad,” a hardcore punk frontman—and how the wild energy of side-stage moments at legendary shows set him on the path to forming In Hearts Wake, his first and only band. From recording DIY demos for school art projects to traveling across the globe to capture their signature sound, Jake shares how In Hearts Wake found early recognition, carved out a unique identity around powerful themes like environmentalism, and pushed boundaries with cryptic album concepts inspired by tarot cards. He explains how their newest release completes a 12-year journey, finishing what they started as teenagers by turning the remaining tarot archetypes into thunderous new songs. Jake also talks candidly about the band's evolution, the heartbreak and hope of longtime bassist Kyle's upcoming departure, and what it really takes to keep a creative partnership together for over a decade. Along the way, you'll hear about secret album easter eggs, epic on-stage energy, and the power of making sure your art comes from a real place.

Model Jessica Gomes has spent three decades in the spotlight after first stepping into deportment classes at age 10. What began as a way for her mum to help her navigate racism and bullying at school turned into a global career – from gracing the pages of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue to being the long-time face of David Jones, launching her own beauty line, and even trying her hand at acting.

From Newport, New South Wales, Australia, Derek Hynd is known for his unconventional approach to surfing and all else. Hynd was a pro surfer in the late 1970s and early '80s, making his name both for his surfing in a jersey and for the pieces he wrote for the surf mags of the era. In 1980, while competing in South Africa, he suffered a brutal injury that resulted in the loss of vision in his right eye. He retired after the 1982 season and became a coach, first for Billabong, then for Ripcurl. In 1992, Hynd came up with The Search, Rip Curl's iconic film series starring Tom Curren. Around this time, Hynd bought a prime plot of land at Jeffrey's Bay and built an architectural marvel of a house looking straight out to Supertubes. Design experimentation led Hynd to FFFF, aka Far Field Free Friction, aka finless surfing. Today, he lives near Byron Bay, where he practices his latest obsession: mat riding. In this episode of Soundings, Hynd sits down with Jamie Brisick to talk about his career as a professional surfer, unconventional surfcraft, writing, childhood's golden moments, J-Bay, the allure of going finless, sharks, and how he lost his eye.
