CREATING HAPPINESS IN NEW SEASONS

Georgia Tong is a Netballer and Magic Stalwart as a defender. She started her career later than most and put herself in front of the right people, knowing her worth and what she was capable of. Holding down multiple jobs and commitments only shows her capacity as a High Performance Athlete... but can lead to burn out and decisions like playing netball in another country while experiencing a miscarriage. 

With her brain and herself then becoming her biggest work on, she reached her peak and then chose to walk away. Stepping straight into pregnancy and her impending Postpartum Era. This Hapu Mama continues to work hard in her businesses and Mahi and gets the opportunity to slow down with her baby girl soon.

From Factory Worker to BlackFern ✨

Motherhood became the ULTIMATE perspective shifter for Awhina, helping her to realise that if she set her mind to it, she could 100% achieve it. 

Motherhood showed her what she really wanted and what she was absolutely capable of. Making her journey bigger and better after having her son and now she can take him along for the ride too! Even to places a 5 year old definitely didn't know existed!!

With her own childhood full of up's and downs, she got an opportunity to play the sport that would eventually see her achieving greatness in New Zealand's favourite sport. But the sport didn't just give highlights, it gave her some of her lowest too. With a serious neck injury halting her dreams. Nothing would stop her though... with her most recently being a strong player in the RWC in England.

Hear her story, feel her determination and thrive off of her inspiration. This is one epic Mum Athlete.

BEATING THE PAST TO WIN HER FUTURE

Erena Mikaere is young Mama and New Zealand Netballer. With her baby now full sized, grown to almost match her over 6ft height. She has been in this Mum Athlete arena longer than many.

Overcoming the odds of an abusive relationship and someone telling her that "this is it for you" after she had her baby. Erena came back - in time - to be better than ever. Reaching milestones like a debut with the Silver Ferns and much more left in her tank to achieve.

Get to know Motherhood from Erena's perspective and the unreal support of her family that help her to achieve this. She's a figher, she's honest in who she is and she lives to that everyday. When I grow up, I want to make sure that I know who I am just like she does...
