‘I buried him on the hill’ - Death, Personality, Becoming a Father

‘I buried him on the hill’ - Death, Personality, Becoming a Father

Tom's Big Adventure Podcast · 2025-05-04

In this episode, I explore a series of intense dreams I’ve had in the lead-up to becoming a father — from broken teeth to hidden bodies. I unpack the fears behind them, the symbols they carry, and how they reflect a deeper tension between who I’ve been and who I’m becoming. I also share a ritual walk I took in response — burying an old part of myself, planting something new, and confronting the truth that to grow, we often have to let something die. This is a reflection on fatherhood, fear, and staying true to yourself through big life changes.

Tom's Big Adventure Podcast

Tom hitchhiked alone from Cornwall to Australia to challenge the idea that the world is inherently dangerous. Along the way, he encountered territorial wolves, the Russian Secret Service and overcame terrible self-doubt. He learned a lot about what we need as humans and developed some unique perspectives on resilience. 

Whether it's exploring the outdoors, pushing personal limits, or rethinking what we've been told, this channel is about discovering a fresh perspective on life.
