Authenticity & Acceptance

Setting a boundary is one thing, honouring it is another. I unpack why it's hardest with the people closest to us, why a boundary from aroha isn't about keeping people out, and why consistency, not negotiation, is what makes it hold.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

After a week of replaying something that wasn't mine to carry, I explain why the right thing is often the hardest, why a boundary is about keeping myself and those I love safe, and why my only job is to speak my truth and choose how I respond.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I guide you through a breathwork practice to settle into the present moment, observe your thoughts and emotions without getting pulled in, and choose one word to carry through the week. Whenever you feel triggered or off your path, let that word bring you back into alignment.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I close out the week tying it all together — why our life (and our money) is a mirror of what's happening within us, and the actual systems I built to change my relationship with pūtea: separate accounts, a money date, and the vulnerability of ringing up and owning where I was at, instead of avoiding it.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

For Taonga Thursday, I take you back to 2022 — losing our savings in a crypto scheme, the fresh start that turned everything around, and the lesson from Bob Proctor that changed how I see money for good: he lit a $100 bill on fire to prove the value was never in the paper — it was in the idea.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I break down why money struggles usually aren't really about money — they're about identity and frequency. The habits we inherit, why money needs to move (not just sit), and why becoming a good steward of pūtea changes everything before the numbers ever do.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I share what eight years of working for myself has taught me about entrepreneurship, and why you don't have to burn the boats to build something of your own. Keep the security net, give your idea an extra hour or two a day, and take the leap once you've found your feet.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I guide you through a breathwork practice to identify the one action you've been sitting on — breathing in courage and trust, visualising yourself taking that step — and closing with why the fastest way to manifest anything is moving your body into action.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

Building on this week's theme, I break down why authenticity isn't really about doing the brave thing — it's about accepting who you already are. I get honest about the "mask" many of us wear, the disruption it causes when you take it off, and why authenticity works like a frequency that filters the people around you.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

For Taonga Thursday, I share a story that's stuck with me for years — Les Brown's "deathbed" story about the ghosts of unfulfilled potential — and unpack why it's not other people's judgment holding us back from being authentic, it's our own.🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!
