Growing with Gayle

Even when life is going really well, we can still hit full capacity and crash. In this kōrero Gayle gets real about the Friday she absolutely crashed, why pushing through and trying to mindset your way out of burnout doesn't work, and what she did instead. If you've been running on empty, this one's for you. 

This weeks wero/challenge for you:

Make a list of the things that you know fill your cup!

It is those small micro things to replenish yourself so that you can refuel, recharge and have that energy to be able to go again. In life we gotta fluctuate between both of them. 

The doing and the being. 

That is the the doing, the active, the go, go, go, and then the being, which is the more slowing down and being soft with yourself and nurturing yourself so that you can continue to give.

Imposter syndrome still creeps in for me, even now.

Stepping into bigger rooms, running workshops, building this business, and that voice still shows up asking who tf I think I am.

In this korero Gayle gets real about why imposter syndrome never goes away, why confidence actually comes after action not before, and what to do when that feeling shows up at your next level.

Navigating change is hard.

Navigating it as a 17 year old, pregnant with her second baby, raising a sick toddler and facing discrimination from the system? Next level.

In this kōrero Gayle gets real about the fear, the choices and the learnings that come with change, using her own raw teen mum story to remind us that awareness gives us the power to choose differently, no matter what life throws our way.

Second pregnancy at 17. Baby's dad in and out of jail.

Living in a dysfunctional home. Facing discrimination from the system. And still showing up anyway.

This is the raw, unfiltered story of my being pregnant forthe second time at 17 - the shame, the fear, the fight.

Our experiences don't have to define us. They get to refineus.

Ever felt like you have to keep your shit together 24/7, or else you’re failing as a mum? 💔

In this korero, I’m getting completely transparent about my journey from being a young Māori mum at 15, numbing my pain and triggers with alcohol, to celebrating nearly 3 years sober and finding true emotional freedom.

We’ve been told to "suck it up, buttercup," to hide our anger, grief, and sadness because showing weakness feels unsafe. But suppressing those emotions just stores them in our body until we explode.

Today, we are normalizing being human. I’m sharing the exact tools I use daily, like the power of "the pause", to move from reacting out of trauma to responding from a grounded state. Let's break the generational cycles, drop the mask of perfection, and create safe spaces to feel, heal, and expand alongside our whānau.
