Episode description

Kia ora! I'm Petra, and welcome to Grey Areas, back for its sixth season. We're diving deep into the conversations that matter—those tricky, often unspoken topics that can powerfully shape our lives.

Throughout this season, I sit down with incredible New Zealanders who aren't afraid to tackle the tough stuff. We explore subjects like endometriosis, our complex relationships with our bodies, singleness, loneliness, and the inner dialogue we all have—sometimes critical, sometimes empowering.

I'm excited to bring you conversations with amazing guests, including journalist Paddy Gower, broadcaster Susie Ferguson, and beloved cook and author Nici Wickes. 

Plus we'll look ahead to life's next chapters—beyond the hormones and emotional turbulence—asking ourselves, "What does it mean to be retirement-ready?" and "What do we want from the next season of our lives?" Because we all know it's about more than just money, (even though that helps!)

This season, we're also welcoming our first international guest, Dr. Hillary McBride, who will share her wisdom on how we can reconnect with our bodies in meaningful ways.

Creating Grey Areas is some of the most fulfilling work of my life, and I'm so grateful to have you on this journey with me. Together, we have the opportunity to engage in conversations that just might spark revolutionary thinking. So come, join me around this virtual campfire as we launch Season 6.

New episodes drop weekly starting October 3rd on rova or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Petra

Kia ora, I'm Petra and this is Grey Areas season 6. Well, technically speaking, this is the trailer for season 6. So what's coming? I can tell you that I have already had a couple of incredible kōrero with New Zealanders who aren't afraid to show up and talk about some of those tricky topics like endometriosis, the difficult relationship we have with our own bodies. We delve into singleness and loneliness and self-talk because, let's face it, I think we all

have conversations with ourselves. Some of them are critical, others are empowering. I sit down with Paddy Gower, Susie Ferguson, and beloved cook and cookbook author Nici Wickes. Some sparkling conversations for sure. And why not look at the next season of life - beyond the hormones, the maelstrom of emotions. What about being retirement ready? What do we want for the next season of our lives? I know that it's

more than money, even though that stuff is useful. Also in season s6 is Grey Areas' first official international guest. I cannot wait to introduce you to the work of Dr Hillary McBride on the wisdom of our bodies. So I want you to know that making this podcast for me as a broadcaster is some of the most fulfilling work of my life. I would say it is the most fulfilling work of my life. I absolutely love it. Thank you for coming on this ride with me. It is

an absolute privilege to be bringing you season six. I'm excited. It's nothing without you, and I want you to know that I think about you often. I believe we can engage in what will turn out to be some revolutionary thinking. So come sit around the virtual campfire with me and others as we launch season six of Grey Areas. Can't wait. New episodes drop weekly from October 3rd on rova or wherever you get your favourite podcasts. Ka kite.
