In this heartfelt episode of Yarns With Linda and Preston, the duo reflect on the energy and connection of NAIDOC Week celebrations and how they bring communities together like one big family reunion. They dive into the importance of life’s transitions—our rites of passage—and how sharing moments across generations, from elders to young ones, builds resilience and belonging. Through stories of family, technology, and the simple joy of a hug or a cup of tea, Linda and Preston remind us that real growth and transformation happen when we nurture our connections and walk through life’s journeys together.
