Planting Seeds Podcast

Setting a boundary is one thing, honouring it is another. I unpack why it's hardest with the people closest to us, why a boundary from aroha isn't about keeping people out, and why consistency, not negotiation, is what makes it hold. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

After a week of replaying something that wasn't mine to carry, I explain why the right thing is often the hardest, why a boundary is about keeping myself and those I love safe, and why my only job is to speak my truth and choose how I respond. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between e...

I guide you through a breathwork practice to settle into the present moment, observe your thoughts and emotions without getting pulled in, and choose one word to carry through the week. Whenever you feel triggered or off your path, let that word bring you back into alignment. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and...

I close out the week tying it all together — why our life (and our money) is a mirror of what's happening within us, and the actual systems I built to change my relationship with pūtea: separate accounts, a money date, and the vulnerability of ringing up and owning where I was at, instead of avoiding it. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect w...

For Taonga Thursday, I take you back to 2022 — losing our savings in a crypto scheme, the fresh start that turned everything around, and the lesson from Bob Proctor that changed how I see money for good: he lit a $100 bill on fire to prove the value was never in the paper — it was in the idea. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the...

I break down why money struggles usually aren't really about money — they're about identity and frequency. The habits we inherit, why money needs to move (not just sit), and why becoming a good steward of pūtea changes everything before the numbers ever do. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing s...

I share what eight years of working for myself has taught me about entrepreneurship, and why you don't have to burn the boats to build something of your own. Keep the security net, give your idea an extra hour or two a day, and take the leap once you've found your feet. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and ge...

I guide you through a breathwork practice to identify the one action you've been sitting on — breathing in courage and trust, visualising yourself taking that step — and closing with why the fastest way to manifest anything is moving your body into action. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support...

Building on this week's theme, I break down why authenticity isn't really about doing the brave thing — it's about accepting who you already are. I get honest about the "mask" many of us wear, the disruption it causes when you take it off, and why authenticity works like a frequency that filters the people around you. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

For Taonga Thursday, I share a story that's stuck with me for years — Les Brown's "deathbed" story about the ghosts of unfulfilled potential — and unpack why it's not other people's judgment holding us back from being authentic, it's our own. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing...

I've built plenty of positive habits this year — training, early mornings, meditation — but the real acceleration hasn't come from adding more. It's come from subtraction. Being alcohol-free again has shown me what happens when the good habits stay and the one thing pulling against them is gone: no resistance, no stop-start, just momentum in one direction. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Co...

Off the back of a half marathon PB that smashed my old time by 10 minutes, I break down why you don't need a big crowd — just a few people who believe in you, push you, and keep you accountable — and why the real work is proving your own worthiness through what you're willing to do. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path,...

I guide you through a gratitude practice honouring someone you love, then a visualisation where you become the director of your day. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I break down why how you start your morning shapes your whole day — my own routine, the 5K PB I hit this week, and why we don't have to go fast to go far. Plus a reminder not to undo a great week over the weekend. 🌿 Join the Planting Seeds Community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — the wānanga, connect with others on the same path, and get ongoing support between episodes!

I take you back to the genesis of the podcast itself: the growth season that planted the idea, the trip to Sydney to meet the man who taught me how to actually do this, and why commitment plus leaning on people who've already done it is what gets anything off the ground.

For Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, I get honest about the shame and fear I still carry around not being as fluent as I want to be — and why living the values, not just speaking the language, is just as much a part of being Māori.

A friend asked me something that's stuck with me all week: knowing everything this path has cost me, would I walk it again? I unpack that question, plus the two-word mindset shift that can help get you through hard seasons: quit tomorrow, not today.

A moving one — Raniera shares a passage written by brother Mark, a Planting Seeds Community member honouring fathers, father figures, and mums carrying both roles.

A heartfelt kōrero for Father's Day — getting vulnerable about the privilege and difficulty of being a pāpā along with a proud moment watching my mātāmua follow me into movement, and my hope to build a more village-style family dynamic than the "leave the nest" model.

Launching a new Thursday storytelling segment, taking us back to 2017 — the year I committed to trying one new uncomfortable thing each month, went vegan, cut out alcohol, and ended up building my first business out of it.
