Growing with Gayle

Life has been a lot lately. Like, a lot a lot.In this episode I get real about what's actually been going on behind the scenes - the emotional overwhelm, reverting back to old patterns, navigating family hardship, and learning how to show up differently even when everything feels like too much.This one is raw, honest and very real. Because healing isn't linear, growth is messy, and sometimes even the woman holding space for others needs to be held too.In this kōrero I talk about:- Why our past versions still show up even when we know better- The power of awareness when we're in emotional overwhelm- How to communicate feelings instead of reacting from them- Why triggers are actually invitations to go deeper- Learning to pause, repair and get back on the wagonYou are not alone in these seasons. This is proof of that.If this resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it today!Connect with Savannah on Instagram: @styledbysavannahtearikiConnect with me:Instagram: @gaylemoanajohnsonBook a 1-1 Connection Call with me: https://calendar.app.google/c86iycoGEWc3jAar9

Ever felt like you have to keep your shit together 24/7, or else you’re failing as a mum? 💔
In this korero, I’m getting completely transparent about my journey from being a young Māori mum at 15, numbing my pain and triggers with alcohol, to celebrating nearly 3 years sober and finding true emotional freedom.
We’ve been told to "suck it up, buttercup," to hide our anger, grief, and sadness because showing weakness feels unsafe. But suppressing those emotions just stores them in our body until we explode.
Today, we are normalizing being human. I’m sharing the exact tools I use daily, like the power of "the pause", to move from reacting out of trauma to responding from a grounded state. Let's break the generational cycles, drop the mask of perfection, and create safe spaces to feel, heal, and expand alongside our whānau.

In this kōrero I share my own personal experiences of overcoming adversity, the grief associated with letting go of past identities, and the importance of self-trust in the journey of personal growth. Healing is a lifelong process and I would love to invite you to embrace the life you have had so far and use it as a means of refinement rather than a definition of your future. Through reflection and action, you can choose to become the creator of your life, moving beyond victimhood to empowerment.grab a cuppa and join me for this conversationIf you ever want to dive deeper into this work you can, by starting the conversation with me - talk to me here:https://calendar.app.google/j4AR52R8M5Q2dRu97 00:00 Navigating Life's Unexpected Challenges02:18 The Power of Identity Shifts04:28 Grief in Transformation06:37 Understanding the Transformational Crisis08:53 Building Self-Trust Through Action10:58 Embracing New Levels of Growth13:28 Choosing to Be the Creator of Your Life18:34 Reflection and Moving Forward

In this episode I share how listening to Grant Cardone’s The 10X Rule reminded me that normal effort creates a normal, average life, and that if I want an extraordinary life I need to take extraordinary action instead of coasting.

I reflect on how staying in my comfort zone kept me stuck for years, including patterns from my upbringing around addiction and alcohol, and how fear of being seen and fear of failure can stop us from even starting.
I talk about building self-trust through small daily actions, from saying yes to simple self-care choices to committing to bigger identity shifts like becoming a runner. I explain how habits and neural pathways make change uncomfortable
AndI leave action steps: name one area where I’m being mediocre, imagine going 10% harder, choose one small daily habit, and commit fully (more at the bottom)

If you were game enough to accept my challenge here are the reflection questions:
- What one area of your life are you currently doing “enough” in?
- What would happen if you went 10% harder this week?
- Which small daily habit could you increase to push beyond average?
Write down one thing you will commit to doing fully, no shortcuts, this week.
