In this episode, we sit down with Luke Atherton for an open and engaging conversation about the experiences and turning points that led him towards meditation, breathwork, Reiki and a more conscious way of living. Luke shares his personal journey, the challenges that have helped shape him, and the growing sense of purpose that inspired him to create Spiritual Flow ŵ Luke.

Warm, honest and often humorous, the conversation explores the value of slowing down, becoming more present and allowing ourselves to follow a path that feels authentic—even when we are not entirely sure where it will lead. Luke’s story is a thoughtful reminder that spirituality need not be complicated or rigid; it can begin simply by becoming more attentive to ourselves, to others and to the life unfolding around us.

During this session, Justin meets with Rob Nugen. Rob is the author of the book "I'm fine! Emotional Intelligence for Men over 30". We discuss his inspiration for the book, the amazing travels that introduced him to a life of service, and the adventures that brought him to Riverdell.

If you are interested in purchasing a copy of Rob's book, call the Riverdell office on +61 08 85231329, and we can arrange it.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as Justin enjoyed being a part of it.

In this episode, Justin sits down with Mel Morris for a relaxed and heartfelt conversation about her journey to Riverdell and the path that led her to join the Goodness Me team.

Mel shares how she first discovered Riverdell, what drew her in, and the quiet but powerful moments that helped her realise this was a place she wanted to contribute her time, energy, and care. Together, they explore the values that underpin the community, the spirit behind Goodness Me, and what it means to step into work that feels aligned, meaningful, and deeply human.

It’s an honest, down-to-earth chat about belonging, purpose, and the sometimes unexpected ways we find ourselves exactly where we’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever wondered how people find their way to Riverdell, or what happens behind the scenes to bring events like Goodness Me to life, this conversation offers a warm and personal glimpse.
