  • Beyond The Hustle Episode 11:
    In this episode, Jess and I dive into a kaupapa that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves but absolutely should - menstrual health. Yep, we’re going there.

    We unpack the ins and outs of the menstrual cycle, why understanding periods matters, and how better communication between partners can make a world of difference.

    We also touch on perimenopause and the hormonal shifts women go through, breaking it all down so it’s not just relatable for the ladies but also an important wake-up call for us tāne too.

    If we want stronger relationships and healthier whānau, we need to step up, get educated, and have these conversations.

    This episode is about breaking taboos, empowering ourselves with knowledge, and fostering connection. It might feel like an uncomfortable subject for some, but trust me, it’s one worth leaning into. Let’s get into it!

  • Summary

    In this episode of Beyond the Hustle, Jess and I dive deep into a kaupapa that’s been top of mind for us lately: health and fitness. We’re not experts (Jess made me say that) but we’ve got lived experience, and we’re sharing the ups, downs, and key lessons from our personal journeys.

    For me, it all started with a wake-up call after a whānau trip to the States - I realised I wasn’t showing up for myself or my whānau in the way I wanted. Jess reflects on her years as a dancer and how parenthood shifted her focus. Now, we’re both committed to making long-term changes for ourselves and our tamariki.

    We talk about everything from tracking calories and steps to understanding the importance of strength training as we age. Plus, we share some practical tips, honest reflections, and a few funny moments along the way.

    If you’ve ever felt like your health has taken a back seat or you’re not sure where to start, this one’s for you.

  • The Truth Behind the Art and Business of Great Hospitality

    In this episode of Beyond The Hustle, we dive deep into the world of hospitality, unpacking both the cultural and financial aspects of the industry. We explore the importance of manaakitanga - the Māori concept of hospitality, generosity, and respect - and how it underpins our approach to running successful hospitality businesses.

    We explain the cultural philosophy of balancing mana and manaakitanga and how serving others can elevate one's reputation and impact.

    The episode transitions into a candid discussion about the realities of running a hospitality business, covering key topics like wages, cost of goods, and the slim margins that characterise the industry. We demystify terms like “prime costs” and “profit and loss,” offering practical insights for aspiring operators. We also highlight the challenges of rising costs, wastage, and the importance of systems and technology in maintaining profitability.

    These are honest reflections on why we chose this tough but rewarding industry and we acknowledge the hardworking people in the hospitality industry!

    Key Takeaways:

    Manaakitanga is central to hospitality, influencing everything from service to the guest experience.

    Understanding hospitality finances—wages, cost of goods, and overheads—is essential for running a sustainable business.

    Investing in systems and technology can help businesses deliver consistent service and manage costs.

    Hospitality teaches valuable life skills, from communication to working under pressure.

    Supporting local hospitality businesses means recognising and respecting the effort and care behind the scenes.

    Tune in for a mix of cultural insight, practical advice, and a behind-the-scenes look at what makes great hospitality truly special

  • Special Episode

    Do You Really Know Enough About Te Tiriti?

    Te Tiriti o Waitangi is one of the most important documents in Aotearoa’s history, but let’s be honest - most of us weren’t taught enough about it to truly understand it.

    And now, with the Treaty Principles Bill sparking kōrero across the motu, we’re being asked to form opinions, take sides, and have a say on an issue that many of us don’t fully understand.

    If you’re feeling a bit lost or unsure, you’re not alone.

    For a lot of us, the version of Te Tiriti we learned growing up was a bit like the watered down Raro we had when we had to make 1 pack stretch to fill a 2 litre jug - watered down and missing the good stuff.

    That’s why I made this special episode for our podcast - Beyond The Hustle

    In it, I break down the basics of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, answer some of the most common questions I get when I teach this kaupapa, and dispel a few myths along the way.

    It’s designed to help you understand what Te Tiriti is all about so you can have an informed opinion the next time this important topic comes up.
