‘It reminds you when you are out on the road, as you say incredible India or Bangladesh with sheer numbers and people living on the street or living under bridges, it does give you a great perspective on life really. Where we are, in the first world, where it is cleaner and tidier and massively less people, you’ve got less hassles of travelling about and moving and it does lend perspective that you come back to a sanctuary if you like. Whether it is NZ or Australia and for me I have always loved that – a simplicity of life.’ ~ Danny Morrison

In this heartfelt episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim Morrison sits down with her husband, former cricketer and high-energy, loved-up commentator Danny Morrison, to delve into the highs and lows of life on the road. Sharing candidly about spending 8–9 months of the year travelling for his commentary career, Danny reflects on what it truly means to come home – especially during the festive season.

He opens up about the sanctuary that home provides, the deep connection he feels with family, and the bittersweet realities of being away for long stretches. Touching on the loss of loved ones and the loneliness that can sometimes creep in, Danny’s reflections serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of gratitude and cherishing life’s blessings.

With his characteristic charm and sincerity, Danny also shares his profound appreciation for life in this beautiful part of the world, expressing how fortunate we are to call it home. This episode is a celebration of family, resilience, and the unique joy of coming back to what matters most.
