Andy Schell of 59° North Sailing is no stranger to the Out The Gate podcast. We'd both been wanting to follow up on our last podcast conversation, but hadn't managed to connect over Zoom. So, when Falken, 59° North's Farr 65, and Dovka both happened to pull into Hiva Oa in the Marquesas the same morning, we took the opportunity to finally sit down and chat. We talked about our respective Pacific crossings, the importance of letting go, and what we're each looking forward to in sailing, work, and life. This interview can also be found on Andy's pre-eminent podcast On The Wind.

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Heidi Rose, a woman whose story will move you, stretch you, and break you open in all the ways that matter. Heidi lost her husband, Jason, to brain cancer, and the journey there was anything but simple. She opens up about the heartbreaking transformation she witnessed as cancer took over, not just his body, but parts of their shared life. We talk about the night he passed, how their children processed it, and what it means to grieve, rebuild, and keep living.But this conversation goes deeper than loss. Heidi speaks about her healing through trauma, through childhood abuse, and through unconventional paths like EMDR, Al-Anon, and plant medicine. She talks about finding her voice, regaining peace, and learning that real love sometimes means letting go.This episode is for anyone who's walked through pain they never thought they'd survive. It's for those navigating grief, complex family dynamics, or simply trying to find meaning when life doesn't go to plan.You'll walk away from this episode changed. I know I did.Heidi, thank you for your honesty. Thank you for letting us in.This is grief. This is healing.

Nothing in Scripture happens by chance or coincidence. God made all things the way He intended them to be. Though we sin He still created us to show us His mercy. He wants us to go and share His love with others so that they, too, may come to experience His loving grace.

Hyunwoo suggested.Ko: "저희 많이 이야기했으니 목이 마르지 않나요?"En: "We've talked a lot, are you thirsty?"Ko: "좋아요," 수진이 동의했습니다.En: "Sounds good," Sujin agreed.Ko: 그들은 지혜가 일하는 커피숍으로 갔습니다.En: They went to a coffee shop where Ji-hye worked.Ko: 지혜는 친절히 커피를 준비하며 미소로 두 사람을 맞이했습니다.En: With a smile, Ji-hye greeted the two as she kindly prepared their coffee.Ko: 그녀는 매일 기차역에서 사람들이 오고 가는 모습에 익숙했습니다.En: She was accustomed to seeing people come and go in the train station every day.Ko: 커피를 마시면서, 수진과 현우는 미래의 계획과 꿈에 대해 이야기했습니다.En: While drinking coffee, Sujin and Hyunwoo talked about their future plans and dreams.Ko: 두 사람 모두 새로운 도전을 하고 싶은 욕구가 있었습니다.En: Both had a desire for new challenges.Ko: 그 이야기는 두 사람을 더욱 가깝게 만들었습니다.En: This conversation brought them closer together.Ko: 얼마 지나지 않아, 드디어 출발할 기차가 도착했습니다.En: Before long, the train they were waiting for finally arrived.Ko: 기차에 오르기 전, 수진과 현우는 연락처를 교환했습니다.En: Before boarding, Sujin and Hyunwoo exchanged contact information.Ko: "설날이 끝난 후에 다시 만나요," 수진이 말했습니다.En: "Let's meet again after Lunar New Year," Sujin said.Ko: 현우도 고개를 끄덕이며 약속을 했습니다. "꼭 만나요."En: Hyunwoo nodded, promising, "Let's definitely meet."Ko: 그 순간, 수진에게 새로운 자신감이 생겼습니다.En: At that moment, Sujin felt a newfound confidence.Ko: 낯선 사람에게 말을 거는 두려움이 줄어들었고, 이제는 서울이 조금 더 따뜻하게 느껴졌습니다.En: Her fear of speaking to strangers had diminished, and now Seoul felt a bit warmer to her.Ko: 기차가 움직이기 시작하고, 그녀의 마음속에는 새로 시작될 우정에 대한 기대가 가득했습니다.En: As the train started moving, her heart was filled with anticipation for the new friendship that was about to begin.

Happy New Year! When was the last time you admired someone's style from afar, say from across the street? Or when you found yourself sitting next to them in a public place, a cafe perhaps, at a fashion show or on the bus? Did you strike up a conversation? Because we mostly don't. Mostly we just think how fab they look and that's that. I like to think of our first Episode for series 11 as an encouragement to talk to stylish strangers, in the very best of ways, because you never know what might come out of it.At London Fashion Week last season, I spotted Beau McCall in the crowd, and thought: Oh my, what a FABULOUS OUTFIT. He was covered, you see, in buttons galore, like a Harlem version of a Pearly King. He'd topped off this look with a Vivienne Westwood Buffalo hat. Next thing I knew, he was making his way over, and sat down next to me. The rest is, if not exactly history, encapsulated in this warm and sparkling conversation. Actually, there is quite a bit of history in it - from the evolution of the button as a fastener/decoration strictly for the well-to-do, to everyman's (and woman's) closure of choice, to the fashion history of NYC in the late '80s.Also up for discussion: why every family should have a button box, the joy of hand-sewing, how fashion can help if you're shy at parties, and what happens when you try and sew hundreds of a buttons onto a bathtub...For pics and links, hop over, as usual, to: thewardrobecrisis.comBeau's website is beaumccall.comFor info on The Or Foundation's Kantamanto fund, see here.To discover our Sustainable Fashion 101 online course, click here.We're giving listeners who enrol in January 50% off.Apply the discount code - newyear - at checkout to redeem your gift.

"안녕하세요, 기타 치세요?"En: Mustering courage, she spoke up, "Hello, do you play the guitar?"Ko: 민호가 환하게 웃으며 대답했다. "네, 저 기타 좋아해요.En: Minho replied with a radiant smile, "Yes, I love playing the guitar.Ko: 지윤 씨는 무슨 음악 좋아하세요?"En: What's your favorite type of music, Jiyoon?"Ko: 지윤은 잠시 망설였지만 답했다. "저는 클래식 음악을 좋아해요.En: Jiyoon hesitated for a moment but then answered, "I like classical music.Ko: 그런데 요즘 밴드 음악도 들어요."En: But lately, I've been listening to band music too."Ko: "아, 저도 클래식 좋아해요!En: "Oh, I like classical music too!Ko: 그리고 밴드 음악은 정말 좋죠.En: And band music is really wonderful.Ko: 혹시 '아르프스'라는 밴드 들어보셨어요?" 민호가 눈을 빛내며 물었다.En: Have you heard of the band 'Arps'?" Minho asked with shining eyes.Ko: 지윤은 깜짝 놀랐다. "네! 저 그 밴드 진짜 좋아해요.En: Jiyoon was taken aback. "Yes! I really like that band.Ko: 특히 그들의 '겨울 이야기'라는 곡이 너무 좋아요."En: Especially their song 'Winter Story,' it's amazing."Ko: 두 사람은 자연스럽게 서로 좋아하는 음악에 대해 이야기했다.En: The two naturally talked about music they both liked.Ko: 그들은 밴드의 공연이나 좋아하는 곡들에 대해 진지하게 이야기를 나눴다.En: They discussed the band's performances and their favorite songs seriously.Ko: 대화는 계속 이어지고, 시간 가는 줄 몰랐다.En: The conversation flowed on, and they lost track of time.Ko: 커피가 차가워질 무렵, 민호는 지윤에게 말했다. "음악 이벤트가 곧 열리는데, 같이 갈래요?En: As the coffee cooled down, Minho said to Jiyoon, "There's a music event coming up, would you like to go together?Ko: 아마도 좋아하실 것 같은데."En: I think you'll really enjoy it."Ko: 지윤은 웃으며 대답했다. "좋아요!En: Jiyoon answered with a smile, "Sure!Ko: 정말 기대돼요."En: I'm really looking forward to it."Ko: 그들은 서로의 연락처를 주고받았다.En: They exchanged contact information.Ko: 카페를 나서면서, 지윤은 마음 한구석이 따뜻해짐을 느꼈다.En: As they left the café, Jiyoon felt a warmth in her heart.Ko: 새로운 친구와의 만남이 그녀에게 힘이 되었다.En: Meeting a new friend gave her strength.Ko: 그리고 그녀의 겨울은 더 이상 외롭지 않을 것 같았다.En: And it seemed her winter would no longer be lonely.Ko: 이제 지윤은 새로운 경험을 받아들일 준비가 되어 있었다.En: Now, Jiyoon was ready to embrace new experiences.

Discovered by Disney talent scouts at a Screen Actors Guild benefit in 1954, Cubby became the youngest male to audition for the show, securing his spot after a simple yet memorable rendition of "Happy Birthday." After his time with Disney, Cubby pursued his true passion for drumming, performing with bands around Los Angeles, including a two-year stint with Spike Jones, which opened doors to major acts. He went on to work with legendary artists such as Ann-Margret, Shirley MacLaine, and Diana Ross, and spent ten years touring with The Carpenters after meeting them on The Carol Burnett Show.Cubby's prolific career extends to Broadway and television, with notable performances in productions such as West Side Story, Hair, The Producers, and Gypsy. He has also lent his drumming talents to movie soundtracks, including Grease, Change of Habit, and Gypsy.
