81: Elle Temu | From Silver Fern to Motherhood

THE MARTIN SHOW

Show Notes

Today I sit down with Silver Fern netballer and my cousin Elle Temu.

We discuss how having a child has given her the biggest purpose, if she misses being an elite athlete, the fact that she’s marrying her high school sweetheart, the struggles of long distance relationships and we both mourn the loss of our Poppa Stan.

A Christmas special highlighting love, loss & family.

In this episode, I sit down with Seb Serrano, also known as 9-5er for an honest conversation about the 9–5. We talk about whether a conventional life is really a mundane one, why doing more isn’t always the answer, and why learning to rest can be an act of self-love. Seb also opens up about his own lost phase, what helped him come through the other side, male depression, his Chilean whakapapa, and one of the things many of us struggle with most: receiving love. A conversation about slowing down, finding your way back to yourself, and questioning whether we’re actually living — or simply getting through the week.

In this conversation, Ethan opens up about growing up in Wairoa, being naturally shy, and the journey that took him from NIDA to seven years on one of Australia’s biggest TV shows, Home and Away. We talk about self-love vs self-care, learning to feel deserving of success, why we put people and achievements on a pedestal, and the importance of worrying less about what others think. Ethan also shares his proudest moment on Home and Away, his relationship with his brother, and how working on an Australian soap has helped him connect more deeply with his Māori culture. A conversation about identity, success, culture and becoming comfortable with who you are.
