Māori Millionaire Podcast

Imposter syndrome isn’t about your skills. It’s about whether you believe you’re inherently valuable.
In this episode, I unpack how my imposter syndrome came from scarcity, comparison, and a deep “not enough” wound. I share how I used to pedestal people, overreact to opportunities, and feel lucky just to be in the room. And how that energy quietly kept me small.
We talk about what actually shifted.
Healing scarcity. Normalising success. Stopping the fan girl energy. Realising no one is above you.
And the part most people skip: action.
Because if you don’t post the video, pitch the idea, or share the journey, you’re outsourcing your power to imposter syndrome.
This is a grounded kōrero about identity, self worth, and expanding into rooms that once felt too big for you.
If you’ve ever known you were capable but still felt “not enough,” this one’s for you.

The pink tax isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s a pattern.
From razors and deodorant costing more just because they’re pink, to the unspoken expectation that women must spend more to be seen as “presentable” — being a woman in this economy comes with a price tag.
But it doesn’t stop at retail.
Wāhine Māori contribute billions to Aotearoa’s economy. When unpaid mahi like caregiving, whānau support and community leadership is included, that contribution nearly doubles. Yet much of that labour remains invisible in traditional economic measures.
So we’re earning less on average. Spending more in certain categories. And giving unpaid time that keeps entire systems running.
That compounds.
In this episode, I break down:
• What the pink tax actually is
• The data behind gendered pricing
• How unpaid labour skews economic reality
• Why marketing thrives on insecurity
• And how we move strategically instead of emotionally

This isn’t about victimhood.
It’s about critical thinking.
Because once you can see the pattern, you can move differently.
We name the system. But we build anyway.

What does tino rangatiratanga actually look like in real life?
Not in Parliament. Not at Waitangi. Not just in protest.
In this episode of the Māori Millionaire Podcast, I unpack how sovereignty is not something the government grants. It is something we practise daily.
We talk about:
• How to practise tino rangatiratanga tō reo in your home
• What tino rangatiratanga tō hauora looks like beyond policy
• Why economic sovereignty and financial literacy matter for Māori
• The difference between protest and personal power
• Tangible steps you can take today to reduce dependency and build strength for your whānau
As we approach 200 years since Te Tiriti o Waitangi, this episode challenges us to move beyond outrage and into disciplined action.
Because sovereignty is not a slogan.
It is behaviour.
If you care about Māori economic development, financial literacy, hauora, and building generational wealth while staying grounded in your Māoritanga, this kōrero is for you.
Share with someone who is ready to practise tino rangatiratanga, not just talk about it.
