Adam Kavanagh is an Australian survivalist who has dedicated much of the last decade to getting back to basics and living off the land in remote areas of Australia. In this episode, we talk about everything from depression and the Primal Switch Mother Nature activates to the highs and lows of his recent appearance on The Discovery Channels' Naked and Afraid 40XL in the Colombina Badlands, including the deepening of his intuition after a re-feeding experience that found him sedated in hospital for days after the show.

In the inaugural guest episode of Deep Currents, we welcome Michelle Palasia, a doula whose work profoundly shaped our birth and postpartum journey. Michelle shares her transition from abuse to reclaiming her intuitive power, exploring how birth practices—rooted in Indigenous wisdom—are central to our sense of wholeness and belonging. We discuss the impact of colonial disruption on sacred rites and how reconnecting with these traditions can heal individual and collective wounds.
