Welcome to the Journal
This space holds the stories, reflections, and realisations from my own journey — both the tender moments and the turning points.
Some entries are raw. Some are future-visioned. All are true to who I am.
You’ll find older blog-style pieces here too, but what I’m sharing now is more personal — a look into the thoughts that have shaped the woman I’m becoming and the mahi I’m here to do with wāhine Māori.
Want to reflect in your own time?
I’ve created these journal prompts to help wāhine reconnect with their truth and start creating life by design — not default.
Returning to Safety
I didn’t grow up with safety. But I’m learning to give it to myself now, in how I speak to myself, in how I choose, in how I see what’s real beneath the noise.
The Fusion
I spent 18 years living in a country that colonised my people. And yet — those people are also my people. I whakapapa to both.
When the Old You Still Shows Up
Just because you're growing doesn't mean the old version of you won’t show up. The difference is — now I see her, and I choose differently.
