On this episode of the Love Conquers Podcast, Kaz and Matt take a nostalgic journey back in time, exploring the world as it was during Kaz's formative years. Born in the 1970s and coming of age in the 1980s, Kaz shares vivid memories of what life was like growing up in Australia during these transformative decades.

Kaz reminisces about a time before the digital age, when life moved at a different pace, and childhood was filled with outdoor adventures, neighborhood friendships, and the simplicity of life without constant connectivity. She paints a picture of her early years, from the cultural influences of the time to the social dynamics that shaped her upbringing.

As Kaz recounts her experiences, she also delves into the challenges and joys of growing up in a pre-internet era, where information wasn’t instantly accessible, and communication relied on face-to-face interactions or handwritten letters. She shares stories of her teenage years, discussing the impact of the social and political landscape of Australia at the time, as well as the values and lessons that were instilled in her by her family and community.

Throughout the episode, Matt and Kaz draw connections between her past and their present lives, exploring how the experiences and values of her upbringing have influenced who she is today. They discuss the contrasts between life then and now, reflecting on how certain aspects of that simpler time could still hold valuable lessons for today's fast-paced world.

Tune in to this episode for an engaging and heartfelt conversation that not only takes a walk down memory lane but also offers insights into how the past shapes our present and future.
