This episode contains lived-experience discussion of grief, regret, ageing, addiction recovery and mental health. Rod Coy joins Kate and Claudia to tell the story of the bike trip he never forgot. At 23, Rod set off to cycle across Europe, only to abandon the journey in Italy after falling in love. Fifty years later, at 73, he went back to finish it. What starts as an adventure story becomes something much deeper: regret, second chances, the goodbye he always carried, and the search to reconnect with Juliana decades later. Rod talks about returning to places he hadn’t seen since he was young, what it meant to finally complete the ride, and how the trip forced him to look more honestly at the man he used to be. The conversation then opens out into ageing, purpose, recovery, and the emotional moment Rod realises what he would say to his younger self — and that maybe, in a strange way, he finally got to say it. It’s a bloody lovely episode about memory, love, getting older and making peace with your own life. Huge thanks to Rod Coy for joining us. Season 5 is presented by Aurora Healthcare. aurorahealth.com.au
