Ep 40 : Navigating cyclones, night crossings, and sea-based relationships with Julia Heubeck

Julia and her family are currently in Thailand awaiting a flight to Cyprus to reconnect with their catamaran “Numa” as she is skippered across from Ko Lanta to Europe.

We’ve known Julia for a few years in London, where she’s often joined us for Soulwalks in Richmond Park, for coffee and conversation, and it’s this foundation of sharing intimate experiences which leads us to re-connect across the airwaves.

As you’ll hear, they left their London Richmond life, to take on a new venture and way of living on the sea, and exploring many parts of the world. Now after almost a year, they’ve travelled the Gulf of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, big tourist spots like Phuket and Krabi as well as tiny island and communities.

What have they learnt? Together we jump right in to understand the drivers, but also the complexities of life at sea. The considerations, starting with how to keep themselves safe.

It sounds very much like it’s a true balance of freedom and familiarity, with tasks that need to be completed, food accessed, wind and tide patterns understood, and amongst all of that the uncontrollable elements of the family dynamics.

What do we learn about ourselves and relationships? Julia shares the challenges of navigating this with her partner and son.

We wish the family safe travels across to Europe, and look forward to sharing stories somewhere else in the world.

Soulhubbers Podcast Sponsorship~ Supporting a soulful, human-centred movement

“Sponsorship” can sound a bit grand. What we’re really inviting is conscious support.

If you listen to the Soulhubbers Podcast and find that it informs, lightens, or inspires something in you and you feel others would benefit too. This is an invitation to help us grow.

Your support allows us to keep developing the podcast: refining our presenting skills, improving recording and production quality, expanding our reach, and ultimately making inspirational and transformational stories accessible to more people around the world.

Rather than pursuing large corporate sponsors, we’re choosing a more aligned path. In true Soulhub style, we want to collaborate with individuals and small independent businesses. our “Community Sponsors”, who share similar values and would genuinely appreciate meaningful exposure and connection, not just advertising space.
