Marie Shannon is a Tāmaki-based artist whose practice primarily explores the quotidian and profound details of her immediate domestic surroundings. Predominantly working in photography, but also video and drawing, Shannon delicately and intimately captures her subjects on a large-format camera, representing them at their finest through these beautiful vintage silver gelatin and large digital photographs. Narratives and objects of previous homes, love notes and faxes from her late husband Julian Dashper, and sketches by her son Leo alike, her memoiristic practice embraces both the mundane and the personal, inviting the viewer intimately into her world.  Her current solo exhibition at Trish Clark Gallery, Life Stories, presents a curated selection and mini survey of her practice – spanning works from the 80s as well as those from more recent years. Presenting photographs and a body of moving image works, the show brings together over forty years of Shannon's work, life, and practice, many of which were included in her survey exhibition, Rooms found only in the home, developed by Dunedin Public Art Gallery in 2018, which went on to tour Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland as well.

In this moving episode of Life Stories, host Shara Goswick sits down with Mick Wienholt, the founder and host of the powerful video podcast When You Look. Mick shares how two life-altering events (a miraculous survival after triggering his own avalanche and the devastating loss of his son Luke at 39 weeks) became the foundation for his deep relationship with God and his calling to share testimonies.Mick opens up about growing up around religion but without a real relationship with Jesus, until heartbreak and helplessness brought him to his knees in a hospital hallway where he cried out to God for the first time. From that moment on, everything changed—not only his life, but the legacy of his family. Today, Mick and his wife are parents to three living children, and their family is rooted in faith that began through loss.Listeners also hear how God placed the word “testimonies” in Mick's heart years before When You Look ever existed, and how a season of unemployment, fasting, and complete surrender led him to finally launch the show in April 2025. Now with dozens of episodes recorded, Mick hosts everyday people sharing extraordinary stories of redemption, healing, and God's unmistakable presence.This episode is a reminder that God often reveals Himself most clearly in our hardest moments and that when we take time to look, His fingerprints are everywhere.To find out more about Mick and When You Look, visit https://www.whenyoulook.com/Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?

In this episode of Life Stories, Shara sits down with Australian author, philosopher, and happiness researcher Adam Brownlie, whose book Happypedia challenges everything we think we know about happiness.Adam explains why happiness is not something we can simply choose, but something we must cause, much like how light causes our eyes to adjust. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, Adam introduces the six pillars of happiness—good food, sleep, exercise, social connection, novelty, and hope and shows how they drive the brain chemicals that create emotional wellbeing.He also shares powerful personal stories, including how a childhood medical misunderstanding deeply affected his emotional outlook and led him to seek deeper understanding of stress, fear, and forgiveness.At the heart of Adam's work is a profound truth: forgiveness is one of the most powerful tools for happiness. When we understand that people, including ourselves, are shaped by experiences, biology, and circumstances, forgiveness becomes easier and emotional freedom becomes possible. This thoughtful and hope-filled conversation will leave you with a clearer understanding of why you feel the way you do and what you can do to gently move toward more peace, energy, and joy.To find out more about Adam and his work, visit https://adambrownlie.com.au/#happiness #happy #choices #life #peoplehelpingpeople #science #health #books #author #sharagoswick #lifestoriespodcast #lifestories #podcast #podcastingWant to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?
