Petra Bagust Is Leading the Midlife Conversation

Petra Bagust has long been one of Aotearoa’s most familiar and trusted media voices.

That quality sits at the heart of Grey Areas, Petra’s podcast about growing up and going grey in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Recent coverage from Now To Love highlights how Grey Areas has helped open up wider conversations around midlife, menopause, identity, ageing and the personal shifts that come with getting older.

That is where Petra is so strong. She brings curiosity without prying, humour without dismissing the serious stuff, and warmth without turning everything soft around the edges. Her conversations have room to breathe, which is part of why the podcast has connected so deeply with listeners.

In her conversation with The New Zealand Herald, Petra explored the value of intergenerational living and the importance of staying connected across different ages and stages of life.

The podcast is available through the official Grey Areas website and on Apple Podcasts.

Petra also continues to connect with audiences through her official website, petra.nz, her personal Instagram, and the dedicated Grey Areas Instagram.

At Collaborate, we are proud to represent talent like Petra, whose work has depth, purpose and staying power. She brings intelligence, care and a beautifully grounded presence to every platform she steps into.

In a noisy media landscape, Petra Bagust reminds us that some of the most powerful conversations are not the loudest ones. They are the honest ones.
