The Heart Of It

Navigating A New Type Of Reality... Parenthood (With Locky & Irena Gilbert)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/0a20cc8b-99be-43a8-936d-b2fe0039accd/transcript

We’ve been sharing this podcast with you all for almost six years now. It all began as Separate Bathrooms, and as it grew, we grew. And it transformed intoThe Heart Of It. The new name felt right, it captured the tone, depth, and connection we share with our incredible guests each week.

It has been an amazing ride, full of laughter, learning, and heartfelt conversations. And now, it feels like the right moment to pause, recharge, and reflect on just how far we’ve come. So, we’re taking a short hiatus into 2026.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s just a little pit stop while life catches up and we take a moment to smell the roses. Thank you for being part of this journey with us, for tuning in every week, and for embracing the stories, guests, and heart that make this podcast what it is. We can’t wait to be back in your ears soon.

Wow, what an honest, moving and unforgettable conversation this was. We were joined by brothers James and Nick Van Cuylenburg, the duo behind the podcast You’re a Good Kid, where they invite guests to reflect on how their childhoods shaped them and share powerful letters written to their younger selves. 

James, a clinical psychologist, and Nick, an audio creative, share a bond built on deep respect, admiration, and the unique family foundation they grew up with. It’s a conversation that will leave you thinking about your own story, your family, and the moments that shaped who you’ve become.

Writing A Letter To Our Younger Selves (With James & Nick Van Cuylenburg)

This week’s episode was an absolute delight and a barrel of laughs. We were joined by Matt and Michelle (Bella) Baseley, and what a joy it was to dive into their story. You’ll know Matt as part of the Nova family and one half of the Star104.5 breakfast show, and you might recognise the sultry tones of Bella’s  voice from her vocal work on Channel 9.

What unfolded was a true love story built on admiration, resilience, and deep commitment. From meeting in the very building where we recorded this episode, to surviving a life-changing car accident on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and now raising three beautiful kids together, Matt and Bella are the very definition of soulmates and family.

Their journey is heartfelt, inspiring, and filled with the kind of moments that remind us what really matters most.
