In this episode, I dive into the dual experiences of motherhood. The moments that have both saved and broken me. While reflecting on the profound impact of losing my father, I share the transformation from a life of addiction and chaos to one of growth and purpose through motherhood. From teenage struggles, handling grief, to the juxtaposition of public success and private battles, this episode explores the power of resilience, self-care, and the importance of feeling and navigating through life's challenges with authenticity. Join me as I discuss the messy yet beautiful journey of being a young Māori mum and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
