Yarns for the Soul
"Yarns" is a common way for New Zealanders to describe having a chat, a conversation. We might say 'I had a great yarn with Nicole the other day!'. For me, a yarn can go in many different directions, often including multiple tangents and side stories. It also involves having deeper discussions and diving into some vulnerability, before coming back up to a lighter level with some sarcasm or dark humour.
Yarns for the Soul was born out of a desire to champion more honest and vulnerable conversation (but also feel like you're sitting on a friend's couch with a cup of tea having a yarn with them- and that friend is me!).
I believe in the magic and power of story-telling, and everyone has stories that deserve to be shared with the world. We are all experts of our own lived experiences, and I hope by sharing these we can foster more curiosity and compassion for others and the world around us.
I yarn with my guests on a range of topics, often delving into subjects that are still considered socially taboo or not spoken about enough. In my mini-yarns, I also share parts of my own stories, and reflect on things that I'm learning while I continue to muddle my way forward and follow my nose!

Episode 37- Yarns on exploring the world and why we travel with Shelby and Scott
On this episode I was joined by the awesome duo that is Shelby and Scott, creators and hosts of the Balls Deep podcast. Our yarns go all the way from the origins of their romance to the "why" behind creating their podcast, and many things in between!
Shelby and Scott are both avid travellers, and they share how they approach international adventures while both working full time and trying to make the most of each destination. We bonded over taking a slower approach to travel, having more time in each place and creating space to explore beyond just ticking sightseeing boxes.
Shelby and Scott share plenty of their travel yarns on this episode, including the good, the bad, and the unfiltered! If you enjoyed their stories, make sure to tune into their podcast, Balls Deep, for even more entertaining chat! You can also follow their adventures over on Instagram @acityilovex.
