Above all this is a conversation about being happy in the skin that your in, being content with yourself, finding the power to be able to trust yourself, your gut feelings and your intuition, we shouldn’t have to do things just because it’s the norm or what’s expected, we should do things that’s in tune with ourselves and the more we can do that the better off we might be.

This week I am honoured to be joined by Naresh Kumar

Naresh is an amazing human being. He has run the length of NZ in bed rock sandals, ridden the length of New Zealand on a tandem bike, asking people to join him in order to raise awareness of his mission and the charity work he does...most recently, he has ridden solo from Perth to Sydney as part of this awareness advocacy!

Naresh came from very humble beginnings and worked incredibly hard to make a better life for him and his family. He never let the hand he was dealt in life to be an excuse for not achieving more for himself. He dreamed big, always believed in the kindness of strangers and has created an incredible life for himself.

When travelling in Nepal he witnessed the atrocious child sex-trafficking trade first hand. He was so outraged he vowed to devote his adventures to raising awareness for the organisations that work tirelessly to end this terrible industry.
