Kia ora and nau mai haere mai to Grey Areas with me, Petra Bagust. This is about growing up and going grey, in Aotearoa New Zealand because I’m getting older. And so are you. So how do we do it well? I reckon we can do it with a bit of gorgeousness and gusto and break that ‘getting old’ mould just a little. Or maybe more than a little. So join me as we climb into some of those topics that just aren't so clear-cut, maybe are a little chewy, a little crunchy… and let’s journey our way through them. I've got a group of wonderful wāhine, and the odd beaut bloke, to chat with, and we're going to share some wisdom that we've discovered along the way. And I’d love for you to share your wisdom with me too, because everybody has something to offer.

BONUS: Introducing Sunday Sanctuary | Messy Motherhood
Kia ora! I have missed you. Exciting times - Season 03 of Grey Areas is dropping next week!
It's been a whole six months since Season 02 and while we've been working away at this next season, I've also been up to a little something else called Sunday Sanctuary.
It started as a live radio show on Sunday mornings on Today FM and ran for six whole weeks before the demise of the station meant it was all over...
BONUS: I joined my mate Asher on his new show Pod-Heads
Just wanted to pop in to say hi... and thanks for all the beautiful feedback on Season 2 of Grey Areas!

episode 10: The edges of menopause | Kate Rodger + Lara Briden
In this episode we look a little more intently at the ill-defined edges of perimenopause - those bumpy borders on the way in and out - and how we can find support in those tricky transitions.
First up, I'm delighted to welcome back to the show Lara Briden, whose wealth of experience and knowledge combined with her encouraging tone is a cool and soothing balm to so many hot-flush-addled women (myself included).
Next, I sat down with fabulous film-reviewer Kate Rodger...
episode 9: Anger: Is it ever a good thing? | Jax Donaldson + Nettie Cullen
From mild irritation to annoyance to fury and rage - what is anger, really? Are women allowed to be angry in our society? What role does anger play in our lives? And is it ever a good thing?
Join me as a I discuss this with registered psychologist Nettie Cullen, gaining her professional insight into this tricky emotion, including how to understand what our anger is telling us and what we can do with it...
episode 8: Living off script | Pietra Brettkelly + Sandy Burgham
Meet two of my awesome mates, Pietra Brettkelly and Sandy Burgham, who are two fabulous wāhine living life to the beat of their own drums, and saying No to the script society says women need to follow. So I thought it'd be bloody good fun to sit down and swap stories, and find out what makes their brave risk-taking brains tick.
Pietra is a documentary film-maker whose body of work includes Yellow is Forbidden and The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins...
episode 7: How well do you know your boobs? | Jay-Jay Feeney + Dr Katherine Gale
How weird are boobs? I mean, when you think about it, they can be sexually stimulating to others, life-giving to babies, and at times even deadly to us!
How we think about our lovely lady lumps is too often dictated by everybody else, but even our own attitudes can be laced with criticism and shame.
Too small. Too big. Too uneven. Too heavy...
episode 6: A session with my counsellor | Shirley Pastiroff
We decided to do something a little different this episode! My wonderful counsellor Shirley Pastiroff joins for a live counselling session. What could possibly go wrong?!
Shirley is a counsellor at Renew Your Mind, parent coach, and author of 'The Mindful Parent'. She also runs the often sold-out workshop, Mindful Parenting. Based in Tāmaki Makaurau, she's also a mum of five well-functioning humans...
episode 5: It's time we talked about our pelvic floors | Tania McLean + Melissa Davidson
Did you know that about 50 percent of women will experience a prolapse? We're talking a prolapse of their anterior vaginal wall, or their uterus or bowel starting to come down...
