Davida Sweeney is a wife, mother, and co-founder of the non-profit organisation, The Generous and The Grateful, an Australian-based charity that sources pre-loved essential household items to help people rebuild their lives after tragedy and trauma. 

Born and raised in southern Spain,  married to an Australian and currently residing in Bali with her husband and 3 children, Davida is a self-confessed “kindness connector”. In 2019 alone The Generous and The Grateful organisation re-directed 94 tonnes of household essential items from unnecessary landfill,  they have furnished 2 properties for women’s community shelters from re-purposed goods, converted 406 empty rental housing into safe and inviting homes, which has provided shelter for almost 900 people who are rebuilding their lives. Inspiring and impressive, simply put, The Generous and The Grateful are in the business of connecting kindness and providing a community to those that have lost theirs.

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

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.
