Planting Seeds Podcast

The last month I have been putting in the work under the guidance of Ray Brown and the support from good friends Te Haunui Tuna, James Merito and Te Amo Mc Clean. We all committed to the F45 45 Day Challenge which so far has placed all of us into really good spaces within ourselves in terms of physical, mental and spiritual well-being. We will be doing an overview of each week tracking the journey...

Great chat with a man (@liammessam) who has done almost everything when it comes to playing rugby. He is an elite athlete with a strong mindset and the work ethic to match. We also went into talking who Liam 'The Person' is and how his journey of personal growth and healing has only just started.  Hope you enjoy fam :)

Jacob (@jocobhohua) is a man that lives and breathes health and fitness. We dive into his story and move into discussing his transition into a plant-based lifestyle and how it impacted him as an athlete.  We talk about breaking the stigmas that are based around plant-based foods, mental health and the importance of total well-being.  I really enjoyed this chat one fam and I hope you do too :)

Strap in because this conversation with Jesse is one that will take you on a journey within.

Touching on trauma, healing, consciousness, universe, polarity and even practical steps to begin!

We go deep for this weekly Q&A session Questions 1. What were the main lessons I brought into my current relationship from past ones? and what was the moment I knew that Hinepanea was the one?  2. Being vegan, what are the main protein substitutes for meat and what are my top 3 tips?  3. Have I ever felt "stuck" or not sure what my purpose is? Hope you enjoy.

Not everyone resonates with politics, including myself. But sitting down with matua Pouroto really helped to understand the importance of voting and what it might mean for Māori to be represented at the table. We also touch on history, connections, interconnectedness, the idea of time, rangatahi, unity and the power of voting. Just take the language you resonate with and I hope it brings you value...
