30 Jun 2026, 9am Belly Today’s guest is Gayle Cue a woman who grew up under a wide Montana sky in the Northwest of the US. The harsh and heavenly country, the great outdoor lifestyle, the grit and groundedness gave her the gift of resilience and strength that has helped carry her through life and what that journey brings. Gayles story weaves through all the juicy ingredients of a life lived in flow, allowing what is meant to be: to simply be. It might have taken her a few years or even a few decades to get to where she is today but she’s here and her story, in all its glorious entirety is what we’ll be sharing on the show today. Gayle married at 18 and became a young mum, before recognising the need for change which steered her toward navigating blended family life, with four kids under seven and the adventures that brought. Then came the moment that changed everything: Gayles second husband sat up in bed one morning and announced, “We’re going on a trip.” And just like that, Gayle’s view of life underneath those Montana skies expanded beyond realms, the world opened up and offered her a new vista and a way of being she couldn’t ignore. The family took a giant leap that carried them across the world, to eventually land right here in Byron Bay, where she co‑created Sound Waves Music Store which housed and helped build a community radio station and all of its volumeters, and became one of the quiet forces shaping the creative heartbeat of the town. She’s lived through profound loss, rebuilt her life more than once, travelled to sacred sites around the world, remembered past lives, more recently she’s embraced shared living, and stepped into elderhood with a mix of humility, humour, and deep soulful insight. Gayle is vibrant, wise, grounded, and endlessly curious. She’s the kind of elder we can look to, to be reminded that as life expands, so do we. Let's head deep into the life of another extraordinary wise older woman and see what wisdom arises. This is, in a nutshell, the life of Gayle Cue.

16 Jun 2026, 9am Belly Today, you're being invited to step into the life of somebody who’s lived more than one lifetime inside a single body. A human shaped by early blindness and strong inner vision, by deep grief and ecstatic joy, by plants and herbs, by art and queerness, by the land and animals, and by the wild, unstoppable force of inevitable reinvention. In this Episode we sit with a herbal rebel who helped spark a cultural movement. An artist who builds worlds out of imagination and recycled materials. We’ll wind through psychedelic forests and enter a story of queerness before language, of sensuality as a compass, of menopause as a meno-morphosis, and of a body that has been both battleground and oracle. It’s a story of losing pleasure, fighting for it, and reclaiming it in ways that defy medical expectations. It’s also a story of a person who refuses to disappear, even when the world tells ageing humans they should. Eliza’s life is art. It is rebellion. It is grief and grit and humour and endless magic. It is the exquisite mushroom growing from the compost. So, settle in. This is not just an interview, it’s an initiation. A journey through the alchemy of becoming, unbecoming, and becoming again. You are about to enter into the wonder filled world of Eliza Rix. This project was made possible with the support from the Community Broadcasting Foundation CBF.org. The WOW2 podcast version of the series will be available in July and broadcast nationally via the Community Radio Network (CRN) later in the year.
9 Jun 2026, 9am Belly Some people move through life collecting answers. Others move through life collecting questions. And then there are people like Kathryn Roberts, who learn that the real transformation happens when you’re willing to unlearn everything you thought you knew. Kathryn grew up in Perth as the youngest of three, wandering gardens as a toddler, talking to nature, and asking the kinds of questions that make adults uncomfortable. She was raised by socialist parents who encouraged her to think for herself, but she always sensed something more, something unnamed, was sitting just beyond the edges of ordinary life. Her story takes us through family breakdown, loss, illness, and a long search for meaning that led her from London’s photography studios to acupuncture clinics, from rebirthing workshops to two years on the road in a decked out Ford Falcon, and eventually to the Hawaiian island of Molokai where she lived off‑grid, restored taro patches, and learned the spiritual foundational teachings of becoming a Kumu Pa’a in a lineage of over 50 generations from Halawa Valley Molokai. Kathryn didn’t just study a philosophy. She lived it. She unlearned. She listened. She sat in silence long enough to hear what most people never slow down to notice. Today, she carries those teachings into the modern world, through her decluttering work whilst bridging cultures and worlds, and helping people reconnect to something deeper, steadier, and more grounded than the noise of everyday life. Get ready for a story about curiosity, courage, and the willingness to follow a path even when you can’t see where it leads. This is Kathryn Roberts. This is a CBF grant funded project available via podcast in July 2026 and broadcast nationally across the Community Radio Network later in the year.
