Broken Hill, The Hills, and Everything God Did Between

from Unpolished · host Jessie Heidenreich

After surviving the whirlwind of 2020, life didn’t exactly slow down.In this episode, we pick up the story with Jessie moving to Broken Hill while Kirsty stays in the Adelaide Hills — the place where we had all been living, serving, and doing life side by side.We talk about the four years that followed: the stretch of distance, the growth in both our families, the unexpected turns, and the unmistakable ways God moved; especially in Kirsty’s family and her husband’s life.It’s a story of waiting, obedience, friendship across states, and the kind of divine timing you only recognise when you look back and see the thread God was weaving all along.And… we may end on a tiny cliffhanger.Because the last few months.... now that we’re finally in the same town again... deserve an episode of their own.Unpolished, as always.(This episode is also released as Episode 2 of Small Churches, Big God, where we explore the ministry story behind this season.)

Unlocking Us with Brené Brown Vox Media Podcast Network I’ve spent over 20 years studying the emotions and experiences that bring meaning and purpose to our lives, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s this: we are hardwired for connection, and connecting requires courage, vulnerability, and conversation. I want this to be a podcast that’s real, unpolished, honest, and reflects both the magic and the messiness of what it means to be human. Episodes will include conversations with the people who are teaching me, challenging me, confusing me, or maybe even ticking me off a little. I'll also have direct conversations with you about what I’m learning from new research, and we'll do some episodes dedicated to answering your questions. We don’t have to do life alone. We were never meant to.Part of the Vox Media Podcast Network. The Inner Game Of Entrepreneurship With Cera Byer Cera Byer A show about the challenging, rewarding, and complex inner terrain of building a business that’s part of your spiritual assignment — creative, service-driven, and inseparable from who you are.We explore the emotional patterns, nervous system responses, identity shifts, and shadow work that surface when your livelihood is also your calling.Hosted by veteran life and business coach Cera Byer, with unpolished, nuanced conversations — solo and with guests — about self-concept, capacity, visibility, boundaries, spiritual growth, and the inner edges of heart-centered entrepreneurship in late-stage capitalism.

This is a space for honest, unpolished conversations about the parts of academia and ambition we don’t talk about enough.Here, we explore the mental and emotional load of being a young scientist or high-achieving woman: the pressure to constantly produce, the identity crises, the inner critic, the fear of slowing down, the guilt around rest, the invisible labour of motherhood, and the messy process of redefining success on your own terms.I share personal stories, science-backed insights, and yoga-psychology tools to help you navigate burnout, self-worth, boundaries, and the overwhelming push to “do more.”Think of this space as a friend's couch, where you can have a cup of coffee, relax, exhale and be seen.
