If ever there was ever anyone who has a story or two and lived to tell the tale, its this incredible woman. Raised on a farm in Kawatiri in the rugged yet glorious West Coast of Te Waipounamu, I get cosy with a cuppa and a kōrero with the one and only, Mel Parsons. Award winning folk singer and songwriter (and just overall choice chick) we talk everything from developing a relentless work ethic, balancing life with an 18 month and 4 month old, having a partner who produces and the fact that she survived not one - but two - near death experiences, which has definitely put whats important at the forefront.
