What if I've never seen an anchor? In the troubled waters of November, 2025, hope is still our anchor. Even us landlubbers know what an anchor is. Basically.

If you sink your posts deep into the ground, and get the concrete just right, you can build a fence that will last. We'll be testing the strength of our posts in Paul's letter to the Philippians.

The new year is coming at us fast: 2026, here we come! At this time of year the reports and articles about travel trends are rife, and I like to look through them all and see what might be happening in tourism and whether or not I like it (by which I mean, of course, does it fit with a thoughtful travel ethos?). In this episode, I take you through some of the key trends identified by numerous players in the travel industry and also figure out which destinations are being predicted most often as being 2026 hotspots. I also chat with some experts, starting with Brett Mitchell, Managing Director of Intrepid Travel for Australia and New Zealand, who describes key trends Intrepid has identified and discusses their annual "Not Hot" list. I then chat with Melanie Fish, Vice President of Global PR for the Expedia Group, who explains how their "Unpack 26" study has included a new feature this year which I particularly like.

Isolation or Paradise? New Zealand is famous for its stunning landscapes and has a reputation for a very high quality of life. However, for those considering a move, their residency through investment program is one of the most expensive--almost three million (US) dollars. So, when it comes down to it, what does one get for that price? Is everything that expensive? Does the remoteness get lonely for new immigrants, or is it a sanctuary from the chaos around the world? Still connected, but at a safe distance! Mona and Rebecca are out to find the truth! Native New Zealander Mischa Mannix joins to discuss the pros and cons of the Kiwi lifestyle.
Twenty years ago Berwick Settle was a Southland sharemilker.

Jesse chats to Forest and Bird Chief Executive about this week's critter. Huberia striata belongs to the only fully New Zealand endemic genus of ant. Widespread throughout Aotearoa, they nest underground in native bush. Like other ant species, they are known to farm plant hoppers and scale insects by keeping them safe in their nest and then milking them for their sweet honeydew secretions. Their name comes from the fact that their body is covered in long thin lines (striations), making them look wrinkly!

The creation groans... but it will sing! "...the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." That's a promise that could be overlooked among all the blessings we find in Romans 8. But it has its seed in John 3:16, the verse we've been inspecting so carefully.

Episode Intro:Dear listeners of the Female Guides Requested Podcast, welcome back and happy Wednesday. This is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. In this podcast, we spotlight the stories of women guides and guides from other underrepresented groups and see how they navigate the complex terrain of mountains and life.Today we're thrilled to host a true veteran of the backcountry: Natalie Brechtel.With over two decades of professional experience, Natalie's journey is nothing short of breathtaking. She's gone from guiding in New Zealand to spending ten seasons working for the U.S. Antarctic Program as a Field Safety Coordinator and Mountaineer, all while contributing to the high-stakes world of Yosemite Search and Rescue.Natalie is the founder of Gut-Z Journey, a business dedicated to building deep-seated confidence in the outdoors through a unique, holistic lens that combines wilderness medicine, strength training, and functional nutrition. As you'll hear today, the name “Gut-Z Journey” perfectly embodies her philosophy—it's about trusting your intuition and optimizing your health to make critical, life-saving decisions.In this episode, Natalie shares her powerful insights on the importance of never outsourcing your decision-making in the field, why she prioritizes working with clients who are “invested in the process” of learning, and how she shows up every day as a strong female role model in male-dominated technical spaces.If you're looking to turn your physical and mental fortitude into unshakeable outdoor confidence, stay tuned. Let's dive in with Natalie Brechtel.Natalie's Links:Gut-Z JourneyWMA Instructor BioMy philosophy Gutzjourney IGDirtbag diaries podcastQuotes:I live in a really outdoor driven town and I actually can find it exhausting to be around so many people that are so driven in the same direction. And there's just something to be said about when you're in your own community sometimes behavior just changes.I really believe in going from the gut first and it's a double-edged thing for me. because I also went to school for holistic nutrition later in life and microbiome health and our gut sends a lot of signals with our intuition and a lot of messaging.when someone feels physically stronger they've reconnected with their body then they frankly tend to feel more confidentI was trying to think about what I could do back in the US that would still feel fulfilling… that gut part of my intuition was like, Natalie, you need other things.I didn't have examples of women doing the things I wanted to do… I can at least represent that these things are possible.You outsource that decision to authority and end up in a precarious situation, even though you knew it wasn't the right decision.I think that when one really wants to pursue challenges just for their own growth, then there is no end point to that.

Michelin stars could apparently guide more tourists to Aotearoa. The prestigious stars are awarded to restaurants offering quote " outstanding cooking" and the guide of the same name reviews and recommends restaurants.

Tens of thousands of trucks in New Zealand are fitted with unsafe brakes that could fail at anytime. That is according to a damning coroners report into the death of an Auckland worker nearly eight years ago. Graeme Rabbits was crushed to death in 2018 when the brakes failed on a telehandler and it rolled down the slope it was parked on and pinned him against a concrete mixer. His death is one of six known fatalities caused by vehicles with cardan shaft brakes since 2010. There are up to 70,000 vehicles with the same brakes in New Zealand. Now a Coroner is urging NZTA to do more to warn people about the inherent danger these brakes pose. Checkpoint's Louisa Cleave and Jimmy Ellingham filed this report.
Some restaurateurs are starry-eyed at the prospect of the prestigious Michelin Guide setting its sights on eateries across the country. For the first time in 125 years the Michelin guide will include restaurants from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown in an inaugural New Zealand edition to be released next year. But not everyone in the industry is fizzing, with one leading chef warning that there is a dark side to the star. Finn Blackwell dishes the details.

This episode traces Grace's life and travels, the meticulous police work that unraveled the lie, the trial that led to a murder conviction, and the global backlash that helped spur legal reforms aimed at preventing abusers from blaming victims.Sources:The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane (documentary) — https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/the-lie-the-murder-of-grace-millane/umc.cmc.25e1hupsruxwcfvbjnixz7mtrSupreme Court of New Zealand, Jesse Shane Kempson v R (PDF) — https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases/2021/2021-NZSC-74.pdfRNZ, The Grace Millane case: A timeline — https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/410039/the-grace-millane-case-a-timelineRNZ, Grace Millane's killer named as Jesse Kempson after Supreme Court appeal denied — https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/433383/grace-millane-s-killer-named-as-jesse-kempson-after-supreme-court-appeal-deniedNew Zealand Police, Update – Grace Millane investigation — https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/update-grace-millane-investigation-1UK Government, Domestic Abuse Act factsheet: Consent to serious harm for sexual gratification not a defence — https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-bill-2020-factsheets/consent-to-serious-harm-for-sexual-gratification-not-a-defenceUK Legislation, Domestic Abuse Act 2021, Section 72 — https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2021/17/section/72NZ Herald, Grace Millane murder: Killer jailed for a minimum of 17 years — https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/grace-millane-murder-killer-jailed-for-a-minimum-of-17-years/P6RDWB4JUETPINBVWC5UH6HH6Y/The Guardian, Grace Millane trial: jury shown CCTV of accused moving suitcase with body inside — https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/13/grace-millane-trial-jury-shown-cctv-of-accused-transporting-suitcase-with-body-insideTIME, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Offers Emotional Apology to Family of Murdered British Tourist — https://time.com/5475149/jacinda-ardern-grace-millane-new-zealand-murder/This Week's Episode Brought To You By: IndaCloud - If you're 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping with code lovemurder at https://inda.shop/lovemurder!Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderCure - 20% off your first order - https://www.curehydration.com/lovemurderHoneylove - Treat yourself to the best shapewear on the market and save 20% off at honeylove.com/lovemurderFind LOVE MURDER online:Website: lovemurder.loveInstagram: @lovemurderpodTwitter: @lovemurderpodFacebook: LoveMrdrPodTikTok: @LoveMurderPodPatreon: /LoveMurderPodCredits: Love Murder is hosted by Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette, researched by Sarah Lynn Robinson and researched and written by Jessie Pray, produced by Nathaniel Whittemore and edited by Kyle Barbour-HoffmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
