We're Back for 2026!

What does it mean to be a caregiver? Where does the beauty hide, and how do we manage the difficulty? In this episode, Petra talks with her neighbour, Nick, and Andrea Page, the director of the Salvation Army's Epsom Lodge here in Auckland. Producer Sam also pays a visit to musician C. Zukey to ask about the story behind his 2024 album Stone Fruut.

The hope is that this episode helps caregivers to feel seen and encouraged, as well as building understanding of what it is like in those who aren't caregivers.

Space 7 by Nala Sinephro

Interlude by Julie Byrne

Statue of a Woman by Novo Amor

Who Knows Where the Time Goes? by Fairport Convention

New Grass by Talk Talk

Petra's full conversation with P&aacute;draig &Oacute; Tuama, from the episode&nbsp;Peace within Chaos.

Extra: Pádraig Ó Tuama (full interview)

When everything feels a bit much, how do we find peace within the chaos? In this episode of Sunday Sanctuary, Petra Bagust finally gets a chance to talk with Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama about how his history of mediation and writing poetry informs how he looks for peace. Second up is Christchurch-based counsellor Charlotte Cummings. Both Pádraig and Charlotte bring thoughtful, if very different, perspectives on looking for peace within chaos.

Charlotte's podcast, Feel Better, can be found here
