Identity shifts | Building self-trust | Embracing change

She did it scared and it changed everything | With Kylie from NZ Whanau Vibes

She lost her husband, went bankrupt, and still built a life she absolutely loves. This conversation with Kylie is one you won't want to miss. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Kylie - food bank founder, mama, homeowner, and one of the most real humans you'll ever come across. Kylie shares her unfiltered journey through grief, loss, failed businesses, a mini bankruptcy, and somehow coming out the other side happier and more grounded than ever. From losing her husband to cancer, to buying her first home just days after deciding to go for it - Kylie is living proof that your past does not define your future!Chapters00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1] Introduction and Background01:39 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=99s] Kylie's Journey and Mindset Shift06:35 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=395s] Business Ventures and Lessons Learned11:02 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=662s] Home Ownership and Community Impact12:49 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=769s] Celebrating Achievements and Personal Growth13:24 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=804s] Reflections on Childhood and Family Dynamics15:26 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=926s] Lessons from Early Work Experiences17:11 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=1031s] Navigating Social Media and Digital Marketing19:51 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=1191s] Mindset Shifts and Personal Development21:51 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87ZprsCiMho&list=PLa0DcMSB1jStKY-pn3FONFOlREWVSyk9y&index=1&t=1311s] Creating a Positive Environment for GrowthIn this kōrero we talk about: * Why mindset is everything (and how to actually shift it) * Learning from failed businesses without giving up * The law of attraction and becoming who you want to be now * Why your environment matters more than you think * Feeling the fear and doing it anyway Whether you're in a hard season, dreaming of something bigger, or just need a reminder that you're gonna be okay, this one's for you.Make sure you connect with Kylie over on her socials:Tiktok: @nzwhanauvibes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Triggered to Transformed: My Journey of Emotional Freedom & Healing

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.

Identity shifts | Building self-trust | Embracing change

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 [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

Extraordinary lives require extraordinary action (the 10x reminder!)

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) 00:00 10X Rule Spark 01:32 Normal Effort Trap 02:54 Breaking Old Patterns 03:56 Fear of Failing 06:39 Stop Waiting Start 08:29 Comfortable Conditioning 10:12 Self Trust Micro Wins 15:06 Choose Your Identity 16:52 Habits and Neural Paths 18:55 10 Percent Action Plan 21:51 Bigger Why and Wrap 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?

Feeling Frustrated

In this episode I’m talking about frustration.... ironically while re-recording after my laptop didn’t save the first take LOL. I share where I’ve been over the past couple of years with starting and stopping the podcast, and why I took a three-month pause from my business (and a month off social media) to let my nervous system settle, be present with my kids as a single mum, and support my uncle after his quadruple bypass. I reflect on how growing and grieving can coexist, and how building from dysregulation can bleed into what we create. I unpack why frustration isn’t weakness, failure, or a sign to quit. it’s a signal of misalignment, crossed boundaries, unmet needs, value violations, or being right on the edge of growth. I also share a simple way to work with frustration instead of reacting: pause, breathe, zoom out, and ask what it’s trying to show you (including where the expectation vs reality gap is, what boundaries you’ve ignored, and whether you’re tired or misaligned). Wrapping it up with a bow and choosing vs chasing, moving with intention, and taking action even when it’s uncomfortable.
