S2: EP27 Navigating Life’s Difficult Moments & Following Your Dreams: with Stephen Brunton
This week’s guest, Stephen Brunton, deep dives into a powerful and vulnerable conversation with us that we know will shine a little light & share a little hope for those who listen in. We start off exploring what it’s like to leave your “job/job” to follow your passion and fall into alignment.
As an actor and a voice over artist this is something Stephen’s recently done. We explore all the different triggers and opportunities that come hand in hand with braving the unknown when you make that call.
He also generously shares his, and his partner Brigitte’s, real & raw journey through their experience of miscarriage.
In NZ miscarriage affects approximately 1 in every 4 women and their partners. Yet it’s not something we openly talk about often. And it’s something that can leave many who experience it feeling alone. A heartfelt thanks goes out to Stephen & Brigitte for sharing their experience and engaging in a conversation many shy away from.

Happiness & balance
