What if the reason you can't get to where you want to go… isn't about what you're doing but who you're being? It took me half a year to learn this lesson. And one simple shift at 4:15am changed everything. This is a Grow With Me solo episode, coming straight off the back of our brother-to-brother wānanga where tāne came together in person after 12 weeks of journeying online. I'm sharing three things in this kōrero: The teachings that came through the wānanga — clarity, the subconscious mind, and how the weeds we never planted are still running our lives. The honest, real-time experience of the post-wānanga come-down (yes, I popped off at the tamariki and what that taught me). And the framework that's changed my entire year: What / How / Who — and why focusing on who you need to become is the only thing that actually moves the needle. This one's for the Tāne who showed up, for anyone in service mode whose cup is drained, and for everyone in the Planting Seeds whānau who's stepping out of old paths into something more aligned 🌱

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!
