Beauty comes from struggle.
In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Wynyard, a purpose-driven creator expressing himself through hip-hop, music, and movement, while supporting others through healing and transformation.
This conversation goes deep.
We talk about breaking through conditioning. Moving through healing. The power of forgiveness. And learning the lessons from the breakdowns that guide you to breakthroughs.
Jesse is about to drop his new album 'Out the Mud', a body of work that speaks to the beauty born from struggle, pain, and growth.
If you're in a season where you're questioning the journey, feeling stuck in the mud, or searching for the lessons in the breakdown, this kōrero will meet you where you are.

"Boring is where the unlock is. Results don't come quick but they MUST come eventually."

I just turned 34, and this season of life feels different. Not because everything's changed, but because I finally stopped waiting for the big moments and started finding purpose in the everyday, boring things.

This kōrero is about gratitude, gaps, showing up fully, and why the next 365 days is about structure, systems, and zero compromise.

In Episode 257 of the Planting Seeds Podcast, I sit down with D’Angelo Martin, known to many as Tuturu Māori. A proud Māori tāne from the far north, devoted pāpā, and creative known for his humour.
But this kōrero goes beyond the laughs.
D’Angelo opens up about a major shift in his life direction, navigating a challenging season where he is currently based in Aotearoa while his whānau are in Vietnam.
One of the biggest turning points came through his child’s health, experiencing severe eczema in Aotearoa, yet becoming almost non-existent in Vietnam, where his partner’s whānau are from.
This sparked deeper reflection around environment, wellbeing, and the decisions we make for our families.
We also dive into:
The power of small, consistent changes
Surrounding yourself with go-getters
Taking care of your hauora
Backing yourself when life shifts
Being a present and devoted pāpā
And not wasting time on what doesn’t matter
This is a real, grounded kōrero about identity, responsibility, growth, and choosing a better path even when it’s uncomfortable.

In this Grow With Me episode, I speak openly about the season of change I’m currently navigating.
I’ve had space recently to go deeper into my why, purpose, and identity and in doing so, I realised that I’ve been operating from an outdated foundation.
It served me. It got me to where I am today. BUT it won’t take me to where I’m going.

I also answer a powerful question from the Seeds of Self community:
How do you know when you’re being called to grow… versus when you’re just uncomfortable and wanting to escape?
