Kristyan Stjerne is a surfer, yogi, artist and a calming presence in pandemic times. Kristyan divides his time between California and Bali, making art, maintaining his yoga practice and connecting with the ocean. Kristyan finds his spiritual home in Uluwatu Bali, which is where we recorded this episode...sitting on the cliffs of the Bukit peninsula, listening to the sounds of the Indian Ocean bouncing waves off the reef. Uluwatu has always felt like a sacred place for me (like many) and to record a podcast in this location was a profound moment for me.  Like Kristyan said to me recently "It is a sacred place for sacred souls".

When you spend time with Kristyan, you realise very quickly that you are in the presence of a deeply conscious human of a high frequency. You feel safe from judgement or ridicule when you are around him. Kindness, gratitude and empathy radiate. I am grateful our paths aligned so this conversation could take place. For me, there was some real healing that came out of our discussion both on and off record (who spoke for another hour or two after the show). 

In this week's episode, Kristyan is with me to share his journey, 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.
