She is Not Your Rehab with Matt Brown

I had the absolute honour of sitting down with my friend Matt Brown to talk about his life, the lessons he has learnt and his life’s mission. 

Matt Brown, is a New Zealand born Samoan and an author, communicator, an internationally acclaimed barber and hair artist; known for giving great cuts and inspiring great men.

He is a survivor of family violence and childhood sexual abuse and shares his story with the men who frequent his busy Christchurch barbershop, My Fathers Barbers, as a way to foster vulnerability, healing, and connection. 

Since 2018, Matt and his wife Sarah, have partnered with the Ministry of Social Development as ambassadors for their ‘It’s not OK Campaign’. Together they co-founded She Is Not Your Rehab and launched the concept in Matt’s 2019 TEDx talk. He says the movement is an invitation for men to acknowledge their own childhood trauma and to take responsibility for their healing so that they can transform their pain instead of transmitting it on those around them.

Please share this episode with everyone you know, and if you haven’t bought it already, please buy a copy of Matt and Sarah’s incredible book She is Not your Rehab.
