This episode is with Dr Ririwai Fox, a tāne Māori with a PhD in Psychology and kaupapa Māori, whose work explores the powerful intersection between Western psychology and Māori worldviews.
Ririwai shares openly about his academic journey, studying at Victoria University while becoming a father to four children, and the many life events that shaped him along the way.
We talk about the broadness of psychology, the gaps it currently has, and the findings from his research that help people understand themselves, their patterns, and their potential to thrive.
He explains the pathway from surviving (-10 to 0) to thriving (0 to 10), the concept of cultural embeddedness, and the frameworks he uses to support both himself and whānau.
We dive into:
✨ His journey studying psychology while raising four children
✨ The connection between psychology & kaupapa Māor
i✨ Moving from surviving to thriving (-10 to +10)
✨ What “cultural embeddedness” means for Māori well-being
✨ Practical frameworks he uses for himself & whānau
✨ The limitations & opportunities within psychology
✨ The importance of culture in healing and identity
