Why Are We Really Here? Nathan Kelly on Abandonment, Survival & Meaning

Description

In this raw and honest conversation, Nathan Kelly opens up about being abandoned as a child, losing his father at a young age, and the journey that led him to join the Navy. Together, we unpack the big question: “Why are we really here?” — not just philosophically, but through the lens of real-life pain, resilience, and purpose.

Nathan shares what it means to feel different, why that's not only okay but powerful, and how he found strength in the darkest moments. But it’s not all heavy — we also lighten things up with a chat about Penrith missing the grand final this year, and a few laughs along the way.

Whether you’ve ever felt lost, left behind, or just searching for meaning — this one’s for you.
