Ever felt the ocean fix what land couldn’t? 

This episode, we turn the mics on one another and answer your questions about grief, love, parenting, and crowded lineups. 

Hear the stories behind the sails, the garden, and the choices that have shaped us. 

Also: 

It’s time for our annual giveaway – you can enter by leaving a review of the podcast before January 15th – wherever you listen to podcasts.

A couple of years ago our dear friends took us to their favourite hidden gem in Indonesia: Ngalung Kalla Eco Retreat nestled into the cliffs of Sumba. We want one lucky listener to experience it, too. 

To enter: Leave us a review wherever you listen – Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc with at least two sentences.

The first sentence is about your favorite Waterpeople episode, and the second is about who you would like to bring with you to experience the spaciousness and reeling rights of Ngalung Kalla in 2026 – and why you want to take that person with you. 

Don’t forget to leave a way to get in touch with you – your name, email, - any way you prefer.
