Kiley Little is an adventure seeker, athlete, health enthusiast, global citizen and educator at a sustainability focused international school in Bali. 

Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Kiley’s enthusiasm and lust for life were too much for her to contain. Since graduating from University with a masters degree and a 4.0 average,  Kiley has spent the last 13 years teaching in schools across south-east Asia including, South Korea, Thailand, China, Vietnam and now, Bali Indonesia. 

Her personal travels have extended beyond 20 countries, in which she sought out adventures, athletic pursuits and took inspiring photographs along the way… Some of which have been published in travel magazines. 

Her athletic pursuits include, endurance events such as triathlon and Ironman, however, team sports, especially Basketball (in which she played at college level) and Touch Gridiron are where passion lies. 

Kiley possesses an innate drive to continuously improve her health, diet, wellbeing, physical fitness. Basically, she thrives on being the best version of herself. Personal values that she instills upon her students on a daily basis simply by living by example.

In the time that I have know Kiley, her sincerity and authenticity radiates throughout her work, her relationships and most of all her personality. She is highly organised and dedicated to quality in all that she does. She inspires me on a daily basis.

On this week's episode, Kiley is with me to share her journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future. 

Kiley advocates for and supports the empowerment of LGBTQ+ youth. She has asked that I share this cause:

You'll find a particular kind of honesty in the conversations on Terrible. Happy, a podcast that sounds like a late-night chat in a backyard after a long day at the skatepark. Host Shan sits down with a rotating cast of characters from the Australian skateboarding scene and beyond, but the talk rarely stays on just tricks and terrain. It naturally veers into the messy, funny, and deeply human stuff that happens off the board: the struggles with fitness, the odd jobs that pay the bills, the mental health ups and downs, and the pure, alternative comedy of everyday life. This isn't a polished production; it's the raw audio of community, capturing the specific voices and stories that make this culture tick. Listeners will hear genuine interviews that feel more like catching up with an old mate, punctuated by the occasional chaos of THT Radio segments. It’s about finding the connection and the laughter in the grind, whether that's on four wheels or just trying to get through the week. The result is a uniquely Australian show that’s less about sports commentary and more about the shared, sometimes terrible, often happy reality of the people within it.
