Writing A Letter To Our Younger Selves (With James & Nick Van Cuylenburg)

We’ve been sharing this podcast with you all for almost six years now. It all began as Separate Bathrooms, and as it grew, we grew. And it transformed intoThe Heart Of It. The new name felt right, it captured the tone, depth, and connection we share with our incredible guests each week. It has been an amazing ride, full of laughter, learning, and heartfelt conversations. And now, it feels like the right moment to pause, recharge, and reflect on just how far we’ve come. So, we’re taking a short hiatus into 2026. This isn’t goodbye. It’s just a little pit stop while life catches up and we take a moment to smell the roses. Thank you for being part of this journey with us, for tuning in every week, and for embracing the stories, guests, and heart that make this podcast what it is. We can’t wait to be back in your ears soon.

Wow, what an honest, moving and unforgettable conversation this was. We were joined by brothers James and Nick Van Cuylenburg, the duo behind the podcast You’re a Good Kid, where they invite guests to reflect on how their childhoods shaped them and share powerful letters written to their younger selves.  James, a clinical psychologist, and Nick, an audio creative, share a bond built on deep respect, admiration, and the unique family foundation they grew up with. It’s a conversation that will leave you thinking about your own story, your family, and the moments that shaped who you’ve become.

This week’s episode was an absolute delight and a barrel of laughs. We were joined by Matt and Michelle (Bella) Baseley, and what a joy it was to dive into their story. You’ll know Matt as part of the Nova family and one half of the Star104.5 breakfast show, and you might recognise the sultry tones of Bella’s  voice from her vocal work on Channel 9. What unfolded was a true love story built on admiration, resilience, and deep commitment. From meeting in the very building where we recorded this episode, to surviving a life-changing car accident on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and now raising three beautiful kids together, Matt and Bella are the very definition of soulmates and family. Their journey is heartfelt, inspiring, and filled with the kind of moments that remind us what really matters most.

Meet Queenie Tan, one of Australia’s most beloved financial educators, who has built a community by making money management relatable, joyful, and achievable for thousands through her platform Invest With Queenie. In this episode, we were thrilled to sit down with Queenie and her partner, Pablo, to hear how their relationship blossomed from a Tinder match to building a $1 million net worth together through smart investing. Their story is equal parts inspiring and practical, proving that love and money can truly go hand in hand. Queenie’s new book, The Fun Finance Formula, perfectly captures her mission: to transform the way we think about money by making even the most complex financial topics accessible, empowering, and yes, even enjoyable.

This week on The Heart Of It, we were joined by John Butler and Danielle Caruana (better known on stage as Mama Kin) for a conversation that was nothing short of unforgettable. Their story is a reminder that sometimes the universe doesn’t whisper, it shouts, and from the very beginning, it was clear these two were destined to be together. What unfolded was a raw, unfiltered, and deeply honest discussion about love, family, and music. Just like their art, John and Danielle’s words were full of truth and soul. Their openness, their security in who they are and what they stand for, and the strength of their bond made this one of the most heartfelt and safe spaces we’ve ever shared. This episode is a rare glimpse into a love and partnership that’s as inspiring as the music they create.

Wow, this episode of The Heart Of It is truly one for the books. This week, we’re joined by the legendary Gina Jeffreys and Rod McCormack, who take us on a journey through their extraordinary 30+ years together, both as partners in life and in music. From unforgettable moments touring alongside icons like Johnny Cash to performing in China for an audience of 1.2 billion people, to now hosting breakfast radio. Gina & Rod's lives together are so unique. Their love of music is almost as strong as their love for each other and we were so grateful to both of them for opening up their worlds to us.

This is a love story that’s weathered the highest of highs and the challenges of long-distance lows. Amy Sheppard of the hit band Sheppard, joins us on The Heart Of It alongside her husband, Lachlan, to share the inside story of their relationship. They open up about the early days, where romance had to compete with global smash hits, appearances on Ellen, brushes with Justin Bieber, and more than a little doubt. Now, they’re happily married, more in love than ever, and are embarking on a brand-new journey to become parents through IVF. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Amy is celebrating another huge milestone, her debut solo album and we’re the very first to talk to her about it.

Cam & Ali are flying solo this week and jumping back down the rabbit hole of their proposal and first date. This is quite a contentious topic between the two as they both don't agree with each others versions of events.  LINKS: Follow Cam @camerondaddo on Instagram Follow Ali @alidaddo on Instagram Follow Nova Podcasts @novapodcastsofficial.  CREDITSHost: Cam & Ali Daddo Senior Producer: Xander CrossManaging Producer: Elle Beattie  Got a question for Cam & Ali?
