gwunspoken: Beyond the Plan
Hear the person beyond the plan.


This podcast is where NDIS participants, families, and supporters reclaim their narrative. We dive into life beyond the diagnosis, beyond the reports, and beyond the plans—exploring identity, strength, and voice.


Whether you're a parent seeking connection, a support worker craving understanding, or someone walking their own NDIS journey, this space is for you.


Because labels don’t define people—stories do.

  • We Colour, We Chat, We Discover How Simple Moments Can Slow A Busy Mind
    Jan 13 2026

    Crayons out, mics on, and a turtle to bring to life. We sat down with Memphys during the holidays and discovered how a simple colouring page can flip a noisy day into something calm, curious, and surprisingly honest. As the greens and browns filled the paper, the chat wandered in the best way: from treasure-hunting fantasies to real-world care for the little wild lives we share space with.

    Memphys walked us through his holiday haul — a metal detector, a tiny plane-like drone, and a dig kit — and we mapped a day from lunch to the lake. Along the way we broke down how magnet fishing works, what rust does to the catch, and how to make smart choices if you pull up something you shouldn’t keep. That led straight to values: when to share, how to return lost finds, and why doing the right thing feels better than a lucky haul. Then came the turtles, dozens of them, shy and curious. We talked about feeding them safely, reading their mood, and rebuilding trust when people haven’t been kind.

    Between colour choices and lettuce plans, we leaned into humour. Skeleton puns, frog gags, a butt quack groaner Memphys has heard before — the joke scorecard swung between groans and giggles, which is half the fun. We also celebrated small wins at school, teased out sibling dynamics, and prepped for a wedding walk with a toddler in tow. The day rounded out with a love note to local libraries: free podcast rooms, quiet creative spaces, and the kind of community setup that makes mindful habits easy to keep.

    If you’re feeling fried, take this as your sign: put a colouring book on the table, throw a game on in the background, and let your hands lead your mind back to steady. Press play, then tell us your favourite low-tech reset, and don’t forget to follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review so more people find their calm.

  • Fishing, Friendships, And Friendly Rivalries
    Jan 13 2026

    A fishing line bends, a reel almost hits the water, and three teens spark a debate that sets the tone for everything that follows: was it skill, luck, or pure mateship that landed the brim? From that first laugh, we dive into a day shaped by sport, holidays, and the kind of quickfire questions that reveal more than they seem. The energy is light, the teasing is real, and the insights sneak up between stories of sleepovers, boat rides to Moreton, and cheering the Bullets win or lose.

    We open up the sporting map: basketball dreams with point guards in the making, rugby union passion from flanker to second row, and shoutouts to the Wallabies and Brisbane teams. The chat flows into what school gets right—HPE wins when movement beats theory—and why aiming high matters. We talk about setting goals big enough to stretch you, like shooting for Australia and being proud if you land at a top club. The boys own their preferences without apology: red or blue, six or seven, chocolate or gummy bears. Those choices, simple as they are, carry a confidence you can hear.

    Then the lens widens. A green Lamborghini versus not caring about cars at all. Bikes and riding with mates. A $100 million thought experiment that turns into a lesson on investing, private islands, and buying a Maccas franchise because community spots and business can go hand in hand. The thread through it all is persistence and play: try a different bait, cast further, stick with it. We wrap with plans for a feed, a kick of the footy, and a swim—because the best days balance effort with joy.

    If you love youth sport, real talk, and the spark of big dreams told with a grin, you’ll feel right at home here. Listen, share it with a mate who needs a nudge to aim higher, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.

  • Connection To Country: Kids, Waterholes, And Songs
    Jan 13 2026

    Start with the smell of salt on your hands, the hum of tyres after a long drive, and the easy rhythm that only comes when mates pile into one day with no big agenda. We invited Arie, Jack, and Memphys to lean into Connection to Country, and what unfolded was a string of small, honest moments that felt bigger than any plan: a caught flounder, a lost magnet miraculously scooped from the water, and the kind of laughter that makes time slow down.

    We move from jetty talk to waterhole dreams, swapping stories about Iluka, rule-bending at the waterpark, and the micro-choices that reveal who we are—favourite colours, best snacks, and why some of us will always choose the movie theatre over the couch. Music keeps the energy warm and unguarded. Eminem becomes a lullaby on a late-night drop-off. Marshmello and Juice WRLD spark a debate about beats, vocals, and what gets stuck in your head when you’re not trying to impress anyone. Ari threads in a brave melody. Memphis drops robot tones with style. Jack leans into the jokes and the heart.

    Underneath the banter sits a real framework for belonging: land, water, and shared attention. Connection to Country isn’t a slogan here—it’s the jetty under our feet, the net in our hands, and the way a lucky catch can turn a near-miss into a story everyone owns. We touch on kindness and giving, too, when the candy-aisle question becomes a conversation about charity and character. Even the snack picks—honey soy chips, gummy bears, and apple pie with custard—carry the comfort of rituals that say, you’re safe here.

    If you’re looking for an episode that blends youth voice, outdoor adventure, and the healing power of music, you’ll feel right at home. Press play for a day that proves strong communities grow from simple habits: show up, share the moment, sing the chorus, and celebrate the small wins. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a mate, and leave a quick review to help more people find these stories.
