Why? Creative on Friday. Creating a clear space within, to do the hard work outside yourself. Like a happy hour on a Friday.

Grief I believe was inherited in to my life by witnessing it in my parent from a young age. Their grief and pain became internalized in to me. I remember the moment seeing my son's eyes - they looked how I felt when I was his age. And I wanted to stop the cycle so he could have a different experience of life, his own.

Kia ora and welcome to "Grief Centre with Indigenuity on Mondays." I use the word grief but I mean many other things. Like anger, sadness, loss, trauma, being stuck, frightened. The hole. Disassociation - disconnecting from yourself mometarily is not 'sexy' these days where everything is about vulnberability and connection. However...it's a pragmatic tool that has helped me to be able to overcome overwhelm, loss and messy situations to buy my own houses for my kids.𝘛𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘸𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦.

Nearly 25 years ago I was introduced to mindfulness, compassion and hope as a practise. Then I have seen that with daily practise, the profound change.

Aonga Ake e te whaanau. Today is Monday, we make space for our grief, anger, resentment. You know, the kind of experiences that have been holding us back on our journey. Today I discuss the origins of why I started Grief Centre on Mondays. It's probably not what you think. It was actually about how I managed to keep myself calm amongst other people's bull kaka, greed and behaviour. In particular how whaanau behaved around land, whenua, trusts and money. Paru, sad, bad behaviour.

I discuss how being stuck looked in my experience and the approach that has given some peace for my whaanau.

Every property I've ever bought, the finance journey was filled with 9 x NO, and 1 x Yes right at the end. This is normal. Practise Hope so that you don't give up. It's a skill and a virtue.

Our Tūpuna (ancestors) carry their own mamae (grief), and sometimes we inherit a portion of it. Today, we explore the mamae we've inherited and how it impacts our lives. By acknowledging and understanding this inheritance, we can embark on a journey of healing and liberation.

𝗔𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗲 𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘂. "On Wednesdays, We Practise Hope," where we cultivate and nurture the flicker of hope within you until it blazes into an unstoppable flame. In this episode, we touch on the power of consistent practice and resilience because 𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗘 doesn't always come naturally at first. Most of the last few years has been believing in something that did not exist in my day to day...happiness. But just practising the feeling, that there is something around the corner, eventually it arrives. Just like muscles that grow with training. 

Kia ora. Welcome back to "Grief Centre with Indigenuity on Mondays." Today, I invite you to reflect on how long you've been feeling stuck. Stagnation can hinder our growth and healing process. Together, we'll explore the roots of this stagnation and discover ways to move forward with intention and resilience.
