If These Trees Could Talk is an Australian storytelling podcast shaped by memory. The kind held quietly in both land and people.

Some stories linger where they happened, settling into soil, roots, and place. If These Trees Could Talk explores Australian true crime, mystery, history, and the paranormal, listening for what unfolded here and what still echoes through the landscape.

From the same roots grows What Would They Say. A connected space for the wisdom of lived experience, inner landscapes, emotional truth, and the stories so often left unspoken.

Like the trees, we exist as part of an intricate ecosystem; connected beneath the surface and sustained through community. When stories are shared, their weight is dispersed, allowing understanding, healing, and connection to grow.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

    Memory, belonging, and learning to live where love still echoes.

    In Part 2 of Shannon’s conversation with Racheal Rye, the focus shifts from grief itself to the places grief inhabits.

    After losing her children Christian, Hannah and Ben, Racheal found herself navigating not only profound loss, but the spaces that held it. Homes, rooms, routines, landscapes and everyday objects became intertwined with memory, love and longing. Some places offered comfort. Others carried heartache. All became part of the story she was learning to live with.

    Together, Shannon and Racheal explore what it means to remain in places forever changed by loss, the relationship between memory and belonging, and how we begin to rebuild a sense of home when life no longer looks the way it once did.

    This is a gentle and deeply human conversation about place, identity, resilience, and the enduring connections that remain long after those we love are gone.

  • I Bend, I Don’t Break: Life, Love, Death and the Grief That Connects Them
    Jun 6 2026

    In this deeply personal episode, Shannon sits down with her close friend Racheal for a conversation about grief and the unimaginable experience of losing a child.

    Rachel has lost three of her children — Christian, Hannah and Benjamin — each in different circumstances, at different times in her life. Through her story, we explore what grief asks of a person, what it means to breathe when that feels impossible, and how love continues even when life has changed forever.

    This is not a conversation about easy healing or neat answers. It is about endurance. About the moments that bend us to our absolute limits. And about the quiet, hard-won wisdom that can come from the unimaginable.

    Content Warning: This episode discusses child loss, terminal illness, childhood illness, motor vehicle death, grief, trauma and emotional distress. Please listen with care.

    If this episode brings up difficult feelings, please reach out to someone you trust. You do not have to carry grief alone.

  • The Edge of the Forest
    May 30 2026

    What happens when we step beyond what feels safe?

    In this episode, Shannon and Megan explore the invisible boundaries that shape our lives and the quiet ways our worlds can shrink when comfort becomes our default setting.

    Drawing on experiences from the recent If These Trees Could Heal retreat, where women stepped into cold water, breathwork, vulnerability and self-discovery, alongside Shannon's weekend navigating unfamiliar places in the city alone, this conversation explores what happens when we choose curiosity over certainty.

    Together, they unpack the science behind fear, anxiety, neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation, while reflecting on the deeply human experience of standing at the edge of something unfamiliar and deciding whether to step forward or turn back.

    Because perhaps growth isn't found in giant leaps or dramatic reinventions.

    Perhaps it begins with a deep breath, a trembling yes, and a willingness to discover who we might become beyond the boundaries we've grown comfortable living within.
