Content Themes
The podcast focuses on resilience, grief, mental health, personal growth, and identity, with episodes delving into powerful stories like Chris Bull's journey from loss to fatherhood, showcasing how individuals navigate setbacks and find purpose amid challenges.
Dropped Balls and Big Calls is a Podcast where we sit down with people from all walks of life to dig into the moments that shape us, the wins, the setbacks, and the wild decisions in between.
Every guest brings a turning point, a time they fell flat, took a risk, or faced a challenge that changed everything. We talk about what it taught them, how they bounced back, and what they’d say to someone standing in the middle of their own big moment right now.
No scripts, just honest, human conversations about the plays that make life what it is.
Thirteen and a half years ago, I crossed the ditch with a suitcase, and a dream.
Today, I became an Australian citizen.
This episode is about belonging.
I reflect on growing up in New Zealand, idolising Australia through sport, music and culture, surviving the Christchurch earthquakes, and starting again in Melbourne at 21 with no job, no network, and a lot of self doubt.
It’s a short story about rejection, growth, and the quiet moment you realise home isn’t where you were born. It’s where you’re built.
This is a thank you to my home, Australia.
